Are you starting the new year with any crafting goals? My goal is to organize my crafting space and supplies.
Along with that, today I’m sharing one of Lori’s moneyholder cards. You could use this all year long for birthdays. So you could make as many as you need at the start of the year and have them ready to go when you need them. You can find them here: SVG, Silhouette
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for checking in today. I am going to show you how to turn this already cute card (SVG, Silhouette) into a shaker card!
I want to remind everyone that I am a Cricut user and these instructions are specifically for Cricut Design Space but the idea is the same regardless of what platform you are using.
Once your SVG is uploaded, you must click on “Ungroup”. Once I clicked on ungroup, I had to select the whole image and click ungroup again. This will allow you to move the pink lemonade portion of the file.
Once I had singled out the pink lemonade, I copied it to have 4 lemonade sections.
One of these will be needed to cut the clear acetate sheet (noted by the light grey color), and one will be needed as the back lemonade portion of your card (noted by leaving it solid pink). The remaining 2 will create the frame for your shaker.
For the image in purple, I shrunk from the original 3.275 x 3.291 to 2.8 x 2.81 and layered it over one of the additional pink pieces. The pink will show you the size of your frame.
Once you have overlapped the pieces above (the purple and pink pieces) select both and click on “Slice”. Once you have sliced these two images together, you will need to delete some pieces.
I also removed the sentiment, 1 because we aren’t anywhere near summer here in South Dakota and 2 because it covers the cute shaker portion. Once your screen looks like the above photo, click on “Make” and cut your pieces.
Once you have your pieces cut, assemble your card as you would any other shaker card.
Adhere the acetate to the pink frame and add your solid adhesive foam strips over the back of the frame (where you glued the acetate). I use ones like this:
Once the base of your card is put together, add your shaker bits (I used little lemon slices and some pink pearls) over the pink base and line up your frame on top of the shaker bits, and stick it down.
Happy New Year! It’s officially 2024 and I’m already looking forward to all the new and exciting paper collections and projects ahead. I hope everyone had a fun and safe evening last night and you’re enjoying the day with loved ones. In honor of the holiday, I’m sharing a very fun pop-up card that I made with one of Lori Whitlock’s awesome cutting files.
It’s called Hexagon Pop-up Card New Year 2 (SVG, Silhouette). I made it with a variety of solid papers and a cute black and white gingham – all from the Echo Park, Little Ladybug Collection that Lori designed.
When opened, the card looks great sitting out as festive holiday decor. Use it on a desk, a shelf, side table, entryway table, or … your fireplace mantle.
It folds flat for sending in an envelope or for storing as a wonderful memento. I love the scripted Happy New Year and the cute stars! I hope you’ll visit Lori’s shop to see all the other wonderful cutting files she has.
Here is the file I used …
Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy crafting!

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have some holiday cards to share with you today. No, it’s not too late to make and send holiday cards! New Year is a holiday so for me, it’s ok to send a card after Christmas. I love to send holiday cards to friends and family as well as receive them. I especially love a box card that can sit on a tabletop or counter and doubles as home decor. This Hexagon Pop-Up Christmas Tree Booth With Reindeer Card (SVG, Silhouette) and the Hexagon Pop-Up Santa’s Workshop Card (SVG, Silhouette) cut files can be found in Lori’s Store along with many other varieties of holiday cards. I used the new Echo Park Paper Have A Holly Jolly Christmas collection.
