Easy Shaker card featuring Wishes and Wonder

You will not believe how easy it is to make a shaker card using the clear translucent medium envelopes from Stampin' Up! This was shown to us last weekend at the Stampin' Up! OnStage at home event for demonstrators. If you are interested in joining Stampin' Up! and attending these events please let me know. I would love to have you on my team. 

If you love this deer then you need to see the stamp and die set I used on this card. You can view it here: https://www.stampinup.com/products/wishes-wonder-bundle-(english). I added a piece of cardstock vellum on top of the designer paper to soften the color. 

Here is also a photo of the inside of the card.

Poinsettia Place bridge card

 I really love this poinsettia made with the Velvet paper and Poinsettia dies from the current mini catalog. The dies not only cut but emboss the veins. So beautiful in person. My friend showed me a card similar to this that another demonstrator had done. This is my version. This card folds in on one side as shown in photo to fit into a standard A2 envelope.
