Here are my tips...
- stamp the bottom of the cupcake and sentiment before die cutting.
- add some color to the card front where the shaker opening will be for "frosting".
- jimmie-type sprinkles are easier to use than nonpareils. The nonpareils slip out of the card if your shaker has any "weak spots" in the construction. Ask me how I know! haha!
- make sure you have dry hands when handling sprinkles or they will bleed color and get sticky. Again, ask me how I know!

Absolutely adorable, love the brightness, the rainbow sprinkles that make the shaker cup cake bit, just adorable x thanks x
Ha - when I came to your blog I thought, wow, those look like real jimmies and lo and behold, they ARE! What an amazing card plus it’s edible (kidding, sort of). I love that you did this and the colors are so vibrant and happy. Just great
A True Baker created a very interactive shaker card using REAL Sprinkles! Woo Hoo! Definitely NEED to seal this up nice and tight to keep the ants out! haha Beautiful, Unique, Interesting, Colorful, Pure Happiness concept.

This is a great set and I love that you used actual sprinkles to create the shaker. It's so much fun and will surely be a hit for kids of all ages! Well done!!! thank you.
You take 'shake it up' to another level of wonderful, Carly Tee! I'm betting your sweet little fingers are even cuter all 'sprinkled' with color - I've had the same adventure while decorating cookies!
A darling card, indeed!
