✂️ Handmade Holiday Hop | Hidden Shaker Christmas Card Tutorial
For my handmade holiday card today, I’m drawing inspiration from a scrapbook layout! I often use card sketches for scrapbook inspiration — so why not flip it? This festive Christmas card features a hidden shaker element for a fun surprise inside that spreads holiday cheer.
This project is part of the Handmade Holiday Hop — where ten Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and creators share a total of 20 Christmas cardmaking tutorials throughout October. Every Tuesday and Friday, you’ll find fresh handmade Christmas card ideas ranging from clean and simple designs to beautifully layered creations. Whether you’re a beginner stamper or an experienced crafter, this playlist is full of inspiration for your holiday cards 2025!
