Hello! Many of us have a decent stash of patterned paper, and we may not use it as often as we’d like. My video today shows a clever way to use fun layering stencil with your patterned paper to make a great card. You don’t need to turn it into a shaker like I did, but it sure is a fun addition to the card. If you like what you see here, and want to learn even more about using patterned paper this way, please let me know! I have some other ideas I can share.

I loved making this card, as well as the Halloween one. It feels good to be using some of that patterned paper, and truthfully, once you get going, this card doesn’t take long to make at all. Think about how fun it would be to make a themed card like this for every month of the year and give it as a gift? Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Such an awesome and creative card, Alison! Love the mix of pretty papers and the design! Saving your video link to watch later. 🙂
Such a fun holiday card!!! I was wondering how you used the stencils to make this. Yay I learned something. Thank you. I actually made a shaker today too but I die-cut a lot of layers. Usually do not like foam tape. maybe i will have to try the one you used. Thank you for linking your beautiful card!!
Wonderful shaker card and awesome idea of using the stencil creatively.
Love how you made the mix of papers work together for a great card.
What a wonderful use of all those pretty papers! Fun shaker card!
Hugs,
Debbie
How fun is this card, Alison?!?! What a great idea for digging into that stash of scrap paper! I love the lines and angles. Thanks for playing along with the Spring Into Christmas Linky Party and sharing the video, too!
