I had so much fun creating this square shaker card inspired by Craft Roulette Episode #269! The parameters this week were square card, butterfly colors, cloudy, and something tied—and it all came together beautifully with some of my favorite Scrapbook.com Exclusive products. I started with a 4.25" square orange card front and layered on butterfly-patterned paper trimmed to 4"x4". Those butterfly colors became my palette for the entire design! To build my shaker element, I die cut nested octagons from yellow, orange, and floral patterned paper. The yellow served as the shaker backing, the floral was die cut in the center, and the orange became a framed layer topped with acetate and foam adhesive. I filled the shaker with shimmer flakes that give a dreamy, cloud-like effect in front of the flowers.

For the embellishments, I stamped and die cut flowers and sentiments, giving the “dear” sentiment a mini arch shape with some clever die cutting. I added blue-inked layered letters for “mom” cut from white and patterned paper, and even reused the heart center from the sentiment as a sweet accent. Twine wrapped around the flower cluster added the perfect touch to meet the “tied” prompt, while fussy-cut butterflies flutter around the design to bring those colors to life. Everything came together in a vibrant, dimensional card full of texture, sparkle, and heart—just the kind of creative play that makes Scrapbook.com products such a joy to use!
