Studio Light Shaker Card | Monthly Sketch Challenge

 I created this fun shaker card for a monthly sketch challenge using Studio Light products. It’s always inspiring to see how a simple sketch can spark new ideas!

This sketch challenge is part of a collaboration, and it’s been wonderful to join in with other talented creators. You’ll find more information about all the participants in my video description, so you can check out their inspiring makes as well. 

 For this month’s sketch challenge, I decided to add a playful twist by turning my design into a shaker card. Sketches are a fantastic way to get the creativity flowing, and I love how they guide the layout while still leaving plenty of room for personal touches.

I reached for some of my favourite Studio Light products, which worked beautifully for this project. The shaker element adds a layer of movement and fun, making the design extra special while still following the clean lines of the sketch. These kinds of challenges are perfect for pushing me to think outside the box and try different approaches to cardmaking.

Shaker card

  

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN JULY - DAY 5  

Warm wood tones, a simple DIY shaker frame, and a sprinkle of holiday sparkle I loved mixing rustic textures with elegant poinsettias and glittery details for this festive card. A little shimmer goes a long way! #shakercard #handmadechristmascard #papercraftlove

 This card came together with a warm, rustic-meets-elegant feel. I started with a wood-themed background for a cosy, natural base, then built a simple but effective DIY shaker frame filled with shiny sequins for movement and sparkle. I embellished it with elegant poinsettias, layered details, and just the right amount of glitter and shine to add a festive glow without overwhelming the design. It’s a lovely mix of rustic charm and holiday glamour—easy to make, but eye-catching too!

Camera shaped Christmas card

 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN JULY - DAY 2

  

  Say cheese! I had so much fun making this festive camera-shaped shaker card – perfect for capturing the magic of Christmas! 

 

I used gold mirror card for the body of the camera to give it a glamorous holiday sparkle, layered with pretty patterned papers for a soft, whimsical feel. The shaker element adds that extra festive touch, filled with sparkly sequins that shimmer when you give it a shake! I embellished it with delicate soft coral poinsettias and soft green die-cut foliage, which frame the lens beautifully and bring a fresh twist on traditional Christmas colours. This one’s perfect for a photography lover or anyone who enjoys something a little bit different for the holidays!
