Happy Monday everyone! Welcome to another Keep it CASual – our video tutorial series featuring clean and simple card making.
Today I have a video tutorial for this Merry Christmas Shaker Card which I created using some wonderful products from the Fancy Pants Designs Oh Deer collection.
I also wanted to share with you 7 other cards I created with the same collection of products. I have individual photos of each card later on this post so be sure to read all the way to the bottom.
Before I share today’s projects with you I wanted to announce the winner to last week’s 3 month Paper Crafter’s Library membership give away, as well as let you know that we are continuing on with another PCL membership giveaway this week.
One lucky winner will receive a 3 month subscription to Paper Crafter’s Library – that is a $60 value. As part of the Paper Crafter’s Library membership you can expect 25+ new project tutorials per month as well as any online classes offered during the time period of your membership. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post. Winner will be announced on Monday December 8th – next Monday’s Keep it CASual post.
And now, I want to announce the winner of last week’s Keep it CASual giveaway for a 3 month membership to Paper Crafter’s Library. Actually, since it’s Thanksgiving weekend for all of our wonderful American friends – I would like to pass on some blessings from Paper Crafter’s Library, so, I have decided that instead of just ONE winner, I decided to draw TWO winners for last week’s 3 month membership giveaway. And
Congratulations Vicki and Barbara – can you please email me at customerservice@papercrafterslibrary.com to claim your prize. Be sure to put Keep it CASual winner in the subject line.
Okay, and now on to today’s video tutorial. I created the shaker card using the Fancy Pants Designs Oh Deer Photo Frames, the Ephemera Pack and the Confetti (sequins).
Now in addition to the shaker card I decided to see how many other cards I could create using the Oh Deer Ephemera pack. I had so much fun with this – using the ephemera pack made creating CAS cards so quick and easy! The elements were all so beautiful and made for some great card designs. I ended up making 6 cards before I ran out of virtually all of the larger elements.
In addition to the ephemera pack I also used paper from the Fancy Pants Oh Deer 6×6 paper pad as well as Oh Deer confetti. The only other thing I used was some enamel dots I had in my stash.
I probably could have kept going bringing in additional stamps and elements to use up the rest of what was in the ephemera pack but by that point, the adorable flairs were calling my name so I decided to make a card using the flairs and an alphabet die from My Favorite Things. In order to ground the focal sentiment I created a water-colour background using some of my Dylusions Calypso Teal spray and a wet paint brush.
And yeah, I just noticed the flair is a bit crooked 🙁 It must have shifted while the glue was still drying. I’m going to see if I can fix it without wrecking the card and re-upload it.
Honestly, I probably could have kept going creating as I still had more of the photo frames left and more of the flairs left, but I ran out time before I ran out of ideas LOL!
I hoped you enjoyed the projects I shared today. I have linked to the supplies I used below – unfortunately there is no one online store that carries all the products I used.
Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter our give-away!
* Please note that I receive a small commissions from some of the stores I have linked to below (Scrapbook.com, Simon Says Stamp and Donna Downey Studios).

Cool cards! I am always afraid my simple cards will end up looking too plain or like I didn’t put any work into them. These cards prove those ideas wrong!
Love these cards, especially the Christmas Trees and Reindeer.
The trees and reindeer are adorable. I have begun a caring cardmakers group with women at my church. A. Membership would be perfect for helping me create simple cards for my ladies to make. Thanks for the chance.
I’m appreciating shaker cards more and more as I see your enjoyable sample cards. I have to admit, these holiday colors are a bit different for me…something new to get used to. Happy holly!

Shaker cards are awesome – they take some time to make but I it’s not that bad. Loved all the cards here!!
Super cute shaker card and all the other cards as well. I really, really must try to make one one of these days.
Making a card that is pleasing to the eye requires skill and effort. I always appreciate it when you add information, such as your comment “I added the watercolor background to ground the focal sentiment” that explains your creative process. I haven’t made a shaker card, but I’m so motivated by looking at the one you made. I would really benefit in learning more from you, so please enter me in your subscription giveaway.
Andrea, these are darling! You definitely have the gift of design!!
Wow it would be great to win as I had subscribed to your site but finances are tight with hubby out of work. I love recieving your emails and being inspired by your ideas.

I love your card and appreciate your video on how to make the window card. I also appreciate getting your videos and newsletters with all of your great ideas. Thank you Shanda Stirk
I love watching your videos, they give me so much inspiration. Now to find the time to do them all!!!
those cards are beautiful! i wish mine came out that amazing!
I am not a cardmaker, but am constantly amazed by what some people can create.Just looking at other’s art, whether I tackle a similar project or not, inspires me and triggers new ideas/experiments. It can be color combos, textures. accents, just the “mood” implied/created by a piece…I can’t clearly explain it. But thank you for a dose of inspiration. I’m off to tinker with supplies…
What an amazing card! Shakers are so much fun to make aren’t they!?
Oh dear, now I’m going to have to go shopping again. Love them all. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love your shaker card. This is no surprise as all your cards are beautiful. A great tutorial on a quick and easy shaker card which I will definitely be making. Thanks for all your tutorials Andrea. They are fantastic.
Your shaker card is fabulous – I watched the video and would love to try this! I’ve made my first shaker cards this year! Your other cards are gorgeous too! Congrats to your lucky winners!
These are fantastic!! I have to make some cards for the members of my weight watchers club and these are absolutely perfect. They have such nice clean and simple lines. I would never of thought of using my chipboard pieces like this. I was given a heap of them but so far they have sat in a cupboard as I was not sure what to use them for. You have saved them and me!! Thank you for such wonderful inspiration 🙂
Thanks for demonstrating , the shaker card. This most probably is the easiest version for me. And thanks for also explaining why buying a collection would make so much sense to make a bundle of cards. Also love the candy cane photo frame and how perfectly , the long message , sits beneath the frame.
you always have such great ideas & cards to share. How delighted I am to see them. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work. I am constantly inspired and casing the work of others. Thanks!
Clever way to create a simple yet beautiful shaker card. Must raid my stash soon…
I love all the cards…OMG…they are sooooo awesome. Thank you so much for sharing! kt
