They will hold wrapped nuggets or a candy bar (which that is what I filled mine with).

Finished box is 3  x  1 1/2  x  3/4. Here is a pattern I created to share –

Shakin’ It Up a Bit

· Leave a Comment

So, I got inspired by a magazine article about organizing a craft space. I’ve been so wrapped it cleaning and purging that I haven’t spent a lot of time paper crafting – and, yikes I have a Card Buffet next weekend.

I’m all over the map. I’ve halted the purge – sad face – and started working on cards for next weekend.

I had a few requests this month. One for a shaker card. I am really great at designing these, it’s just my execution or something. They shake for a while and then…..then no more shakin’. The pieces don’t want to move about. Sad face.

In an attempt to try a new way, I created this –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, shaker card, Leaflets Framelits, Square Pillow Box Thinlits, Six Sayings, Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Foil Paper,

It’s flat because when I stood it up, all the pieces fell and you couldn’t tell it was a shaker card. Yes, it probably needs more pieces. 

My pieces are sequins removed from the string and tiny die cut leaves from the Square Pillow Box Thinlit.

Another request was fall themed cards. My favorite. I’m all about fall.

I will keep tweaking…….got to get it right by next weekend.

Happy Stampin’
