Hi friends! When I was going through my stash looking for sequins for a card yesterday I realized that I had a problem.
Luckily my problem was not a lack of sequins! That will probably never be a problem because it seems like sequins breed when you are not looking or my buying outpaces my using. Who can say?
If you too have a sequin problem you will love today’s project, a fun shaker card using stamp from our sponsor ArtNeko!

My problem is I don’t have enough sequins or the right kinds. They are expensive locally and at Amazon.

Cute card! It has never occurred in my mind to make a hole after stamping, creative! In the first picture on the top of this webpage there is a blue package that says “24 sequins.” Did you get it from a local store or online? Looks like a great deal there! I don’t have enough sequins…..yet as I just started crafting last year. Still on the lookout for those color dusters. I guess my state Illinois just doesn’t sell them. Online stores are always out of stock for months.

I really think you must have had some of these sequins since you were a child – your collection is madly epic! I SO LOVE this idea – it’s super innovative and original. Have you thought of making kaleidoscopes? You should use your mad watercolour skills to make the outside of them or do marbled paper and then, well I suppose you’d still have to make about three hundred kaleidoscopes before it made a dent in your sequin collection….but I suppose it’s a start!

Super cute idea. I have yet to make a shaker card and I really want to try it. Your video is easy to follow and has given me the confidence to try it. I save my packaging bags so that makes a lot of sense to me to us those for shaker cards. Thank you for sharing your posts are always so educational and full of great ideas.
