One of my favorite cards to make is a shaker card and one of my favorite ways to make a shaker window is with word dies...
I love the SBC Christmas Block Words die set so much! This is not the first time I've used the "merry" to make a shaker window.
For this card made a wrapped shaker pocket with the pink from the Vacation paper pad inside. (You can see the technique in this past video.)
I die cut "merry" from Mixed Media paper first (the best for shaker windows because it is so thick) and saved the R middles. At the bottom right of "merry" I stamped "christmas". I used the Mini Circle Sentiments and masked part of the "merry christmas" one by placing low-tack tape over the "merry" and inking the stamp, then removing the tape and stamping on to the cardstock.
Then I die cut the "merry" again but this time from the red cardstock in the Sunshine paper pad.
I adhered the window panel to the shaker pocket and then inlaid the red "merry" and added the R middles too. A few faux splatters made with a pen and ta-da!
I definitely recommend stopping by Scrapbook.com to see more about their Christmas in July celebration!
And thanks for stopping by here too!
Hugs!

Your shaker card is absolutely beautiful! I love the combination of the pink and red, and the "merry" die-cut window adds such a fun touch. The faux splatters are a nice little finishing detail, too! Scrapbook.com’s Christmas in July celebration sounds like a blast!
By the way, if you're thinking of ways to decorate for a Christmas party, have you considered Christmas Neon Signs? They’d add a fun, festive glow to your celebration! You could create personalized signs like “Merry Christmas” or even fun holiday phrases, and they’d make a vibrant addition to your party décor. It’s a great way to light up the season!
Carly, your shaker card is absolutely stunning! I love how you used the "merry" word die to create such a fun and festive window. The pink and red combination is perfect for a cheerful holiday vibe.
For an extra touch of holiday magic, you could decorate your space with Christmas Neon Signs! They would add a warm and vibrant glow, making your room feel even more festive.
Thanks for sharing your creativity—this card is truly inspiring! Happy crafting!
