Cheap Recycled Shaker Christmas Card from Packing ♡ Maremi's Small Art ♡

[@ladycase2]

I love your beautiful creations but most of all I love that you are chatting while you create rather than doing a voiceover. It is so pleasurable and feels so personal. Lovely shaker and I must find some packaging.

[@roxannetucker5813]

You're the first KZbin card designer that I've seen using nail art supplies for shaker cards. I've been using them for quite a while and think they are perfect for shaker cards or just adding that extra pizzazz to your cards. Your card turned out beautiful and thanks for the tip of thinking outside the box when it comes to recycling really useful packaging. I also use jewelry seed beads for shaker cards.

[@rickiquilt]

You are awesome!!!! What a beautiful card!!!!! One of the prettiest cards ever for Christmas!!! I love it when you sing a little too...you are so lovable. And when you were asking ..what do you think guys?? I was talking to you...lol...yes, yes, Marta I was saying ....hugs to you dear one♥️

[@donnaconaway9368]

I got my video to play on IE, though it will not play on Firefox or Microsoft Edge.What a find to have that packaging from your gift tags. You can make so many shaker cards!! I just happened to open three narrow double-sided tape packages today and they will work for making shaker cards. Three is better than none!! Yeehah! I am so excited!It is time to get out my storage box of Christmas stuff. I know precisely where it is, since I put it with my boxes of Christmas bows in a dresser drawer. I am really working on getting better organized. I have been sorting through all my photos to get them divided into each of my son's photos, plus every place that I taught. I took a lot of teaching photos. It feels good to be finally getting at this. I had to, since I am making each son a 6" x 6" album for Christmas.Sorry for writing such a long message, but I thought one post is better than several. Marta, I am so anxious to do this!!!Thanks!

...and that's why most of the artists are great with children....and that's why children love them.....cz they are leaving e v e r y moment of doing something new...and they are enjoying it with e v e r y cell of their body...(excuse my english :) )..just like kids ...the pure joy of exploring the world....i always enjoy your tutorials...and keep having fun :))))..

[@yvette6160]

I have been watching your vids and subbed after the second show, that was 6 months ago. I’m so happy I found you, your inspiration and belief in others shines through. Love your spice for life and creativity. Thank You so much you’ve inspired me. I love your videos, it’s pure pleasure watching you work, I feel like I’m crafting with you. Bless you and your family. 🤗🙏🏻😉🤠

[@SwankyWhims]

Oooooohhhh Maremi, you got me at RECYCLE! I am totally in love with your creation, and watching this video made my day, I was having fun while you were fighting there with the paper, the craft knife, the foam tape and oooohhh so hilarious! Thank you so much for making videos like this, you have magic inside, and that is why everything you create is wonderful! Even when you don't know what you're doing! Love Maremi!

[@donnaconaway9368]

Marta, your excitement is so contagious. I am mentally trying to figure out what I will use inside the shaker. I know I have white, pink, and lavender sequins, plus gold glitter. It may be an interesting color theme for Christmas, but it is up to me. There are no mistakes and no rules, right? I love seeing and hearing you so happy! Perhaps I will send these out for Valentine's Day instead.

[@shantilley6540]

This card is GORGEOUS!!! I love, love, love it! And what a great idea to use the packaging for the shaker part of the card. You have such a fantastic personality and I love your accent! You are so uplifting for me. I can't stop smiling the whole time I'm watching your wonderful videos. Thank you sooooo much! Many hugs!

[@gloriawarrick6434]

Your experimentation turned out beautifully. It just glistens the Christmas holidays. So very pretty. Good create eye on thinking outside the shaker card box. Tfs

[@auntbubbels12155]

I love shaker cards and yours is absolutely gorgeous. So clever to use the plastic from the gift cards. It gives you the dimension that you need. I am looking to buy chipboard but am finding that it is very expensive.

[@bonneswartzfager4190]

It's great you love your creations! I love you. You're so interesting to watch and pleasant to listen to. Don't worry about your English. I only speak English, and I can't think of the right word either. I tell my kids I'll call them at 3:00 in the morning when I remember what I meant to say. I love watching you create. Keep up the beautiful designs. You're brilliant!

[@lynneb9946]

I love, love, love this card. You found the perfect thing to use for the shaker container. I always enjoy your videos and I must say that I really enjoyed this one. You made me smile and chuckle several times! You are such a joy!

[@paulinefollett3099]

I have never seen a card that is so gorgeous. It is so much fun to recycle and recreate. Thanks for giving us so many wonderful ideas. Love you always.

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Marta, Love the video, and your card is absolutely gorgeous, and also a great way to reuse something and put it in a card, I think you have done a great job on your first shaker card, I would love to have this in my mail box, TFS, Cheers Anna.

[@KateriBurnett]

Love love the card, one thing I do with my shaker cards is I brush powder on my acetate before putting my sequins in and if you use foam tape brush the powder on the inside edge of the foam tape this will stop the sequins or beads from sticking to the sides. If you have flat acetate you can raise it up by using two layers of foam tape. I always use double face tape on my cards. Your card is so beautiful I think the paper colors are awesome and you added the right embellishments. Hugs

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awww thank you so much for your lovely comment !!! xoxox

[@heidis.t.8769]

Great idea, Maremi. love using what we have - so much everyday waste if we dont recycle- So, being creative (as you do 😊) and not running to the store for every little thing is refreshing😊 tfs plus...it is super cute ! Gluing beads on in the back is the touch that makes it exceptional

[@joannstickley2334]

Fantastic idea Marta. So clever. Im on the hunt for plastic, sparkles and a couple charms for my insides. Thank you.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Adorable card. I have used the plastic part of packaging as a mini palette, and window on a journal page, but I never though of a shaker card DUH! Thanks Marta for another wonderful video.

[@pol2171]

Hi Marta, love the card, gives me lots of ideas. Recently I watched a video too where they used clear packaging tape to make the card. I loved the look of that one too but it was very formal. Love your work. Hope you and baby are well. xx

[@terrisanner4087]

Wow, I love it! I really like how you add the string bows to your creations and how you recycled the Christmas tag holders. Thank you!!

[@linmims3049]

Love it! I knew there was a reason I kept hording various shape and size plastic packaging. Thank you Marta, your eagerness to share is deeply appreciated.

[@scarletmika]

Marta I’m very happy for you discovering shakers - it’s a whole new world! Wait until you stamp an image, then add the sequins & glitter over the top - you’ll love it! This one is so very pretty!

[@dorismartinez7307]

Beautiful colors, Beautiful card!! Thank you! Merry Christmas season to you!

[@rlsinclair8113]

Happy Christmas Hen-yo!? Of course, I don't know how to spell it Marta!! 😄Looks good to me! If I knew place to send you ' Happy Mail"! I'd be sending you whole box of rulers, erasers & pens!!! 🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊😊 Love this shaker card! Brilliant idea for using recycling tag pkg! Always makes me laugh and smile, while watching, creating, just listening to your videos!! You are so amazing, gifted, talented, sweet, gorgeous🎨 Artist! Blessed! Love to all of you, Happy Holidays 🎄🎁from State of Illinois!! XO😄☕

[@estherchucha]

Marta, this card is so absolutely stunning! I love it! :) :) Thank you for this card :) I want to try this sometime soon :) Hehehe...Emily will be smiling from ear to ear when she sees this card :) :) I hope you do a crafty video with her one of these days :) Love n hugs to you and Emily, and love to your soon to arrive special bundle of happiness :) :) Esther :)

[@adrinem4513]

Brilliant Marta! I save all those plastic packaging. Now I have another use for them. As usual you have inspired me to try my hand at making a shaker card. Thanks so much for your continued pleasantries as you create. Love it!

[@Poohtle]

I love your thought process, really into the card making ‘think I’ll have a grape’ 😂😂😂 I’m not sure why I found that so funny but it was so random

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Horace Bear hehehehe 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😊

[@MsPandora93]

Well, that was lots of fun! I have often looked at plastic packaging and thought maybe I should keep it for something... of course shaker card is perfect. Yours is very pretty and the glitters are perfect in there. The Christmas stickers are really neat. I will have to search at Michaels or Dollar stores. Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. tfs

[@virtualeve]

I love your good hearted spirit while making your very first shaker card. It was so much fun watching.

[@morningflowerB]

Look what you made! Beautiful! 🎄💎⛄

[@nataliewashbrook3255]

Beautiful card and so much fun to watch you enjoying the process of making it. This is what crafting is all about. Don't worry about the end result just enjoy the journey, that is what's important 💛😊

[@pamellis3725]

Awesome card!! I love how your desk is always full of yummy goodness! This year there is no new Christmas supplies for me I just got laid off my job but at least I can come here and look at all the eye candy!

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

I didnt know how to make a shaker now i do thank you marta no other person has ever showed us how

[@lovewisdomgrace]

Your shaker card is really cute. I enjoy making them too. A tip I learned along the way is to use an embossing powder tool or cornstarch applied with a little brush to remove the stickiness of the inside side of the 3D foam. Another lovely video! -wendy

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

You are so funny! Love your video. I will definitely have to try this. TFS

[@EugeniaRedmond]

I have made a shaker tag and a shaker card in the past, but never would have thought to use packaging for the window! It looks so much nicer too! I was excited to see that you made a shaker video, was waiting for one so thank you! You are simply amazing. I never tire of seeing your excitement when you finish an artwork that you love!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

aww thank you so much !!!! :) big hugs xox

[@cindyburns7667]

another terrific video, thank you Marta for allowing us to share your creations, it is so inspiring to watch your projects come to life.

[@tararead4670]

Great job! I love the new scrappies! Thanks Marta!

[@JennifulCreations]

Beautiful shaker card! My husband is Polish, and we enjoy watching your videos together. :)

[@tonyadull]

I started my art journey with nail art, too! I wanted lady bug toenails.

[@angelakenny6500]

Good idea ,the card is beautiful, I used the clear round lid of a yogurt pot which worked similar to yours. I also like to use things we have around the house. I love your jolly attitude and your videos are so wonderful. thank you

[@riteasrain]

Angela Kenny cool idea!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Yes awesome idea !! May borrow one day 😁🖌🖍✂️✂️✂️

[@lechat8736]

Angela Kenny - Thank you, Angela :-) I think crafters are wonderful people! Lindsay, the frugal crafter always says "Sharing is caring" and I love this attitude. xoxo Josi

[@danine56]

i have just finished a sour cream and i have a good round lid , what a great idea ty

[@teresastevens2084]

I'd like to take a vacation in your heard, Marta! This shaker card is beautiful and now I will look at packaging in a different way, thanks to you! Watching your videos as your creations evolve is such a delight! Thank you for sharing!

[@shawnajones2038]

Marta, yourcard is so beautiful and I enjoyed watching your creative process. Maybe next timd the Christmas tree could be inside the shaker with the pretty snow would fall around it. Thank you for sharing.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Shawna Jones love the idea !!!

[@ClareCreationsAL]

I’m sure Emily will love that card, but I bet she won’t be happy that you used her Nail Salon sequins. I love this card!! And I LOVE the idea of the school raising money by selling the Children’s artwork as Christmas cards!! What a great idea!!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Absolutely spectacular. The long strips of double sided foam tape help greatly. Stampin up has them, I'm sure others do too.

[@saradeandrade]

Love love love it!!! I have been making christmas things already! What an inspiration! I also was supposed to discard some packaging yesterday and I thought that they could be usefull! Now I know how i'm going to be using them!!!!!! So funny! Thanks so much! I hope you are feeling well! I still remenber when I was like that! My baby is 10months old! Good luck on this final strech! Try to get some good sleep! (I couldn't for the last months... ) Try to get back soon! I will miss you! *

[@annholcomb4448]

The card is very cute. I love your excitement.

[@terireed3926]

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Marta, that’s so awesome and beautiful and stunning, and you’ve every right to be very proud of your creations, they are so beautiful. Thank you so much 😊

[@karenatkinson4053]

I loved watching you put this card together. It is so beautiful. I have only made one shaker card and it was a couple of years ago. I don't know why I haven't made more. Maybe I will now after watching this. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@sandimasse3899]

I find myself chuckling as I watch your UTubes and my husband is in the living room wondering what I am chuckling about. Also, "darn" isn't a bad word. Really a nice card you made tonight.

[@Monica.2013]

LOVE THIS. This is such a great idea for people who don't have the tool to seal the plastic. I'm definitely going to try this for December Daily. :D

[@barbtemplin7864]

I love watching you figure this out. I haven’t ever made a shaker card but you shared some great ideas for them. Thank you for sharing! Take care!!

That idea is so clever. Great way to recycle. Your card turned out beautiful. 🥰🌻

[@amandacortez9786]

I would LOVE to see you do another one of these! Not necessarily holiday themed, just in general! Especially using recycled materials!! I know it may be difficult with baby though so if I have to wait a while that's okay lol loving all the videos! Keeps me inspired 💖💖💖

[@ClaraMelchorBowman]

I would have put the peace, love & joy sticker in the top right corner. I love love love it! Thank you again Marta...you're so ingenious. 😊💛 No I change my mind..you're right with the scrapinec. Gorgeous x

Oh my goodness, love the colours in your card, so so pretty. I too have made shaker cards out of packaging...I love repurposing packaging :)

[@yukongirl11]

Gorgeous card and super fun video to watch!! I'm defiantly going to look at my packaging differently.

[@createwithpamela]

Gorgeous card! I like to save packaging for future projects, but it never occurred to me to use it for shaker cards! And I love using thread, too. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@nevilgrubb]

Super super super cute!! I did something very similar with my students and they loved the final piece! One of my favorite pieces

[@ladycase2]

Absolutely gorgeous and such a smart idea. Now I️ need to be on the lookout 👀 for packaging like that.

[@cookiethurman2228]

I love it,love it ,love it and you to,I get the biggest kick out of you you just make me smile everytime I watch one of your videos.I think you are very smart to use the package thingy..

[@Veronim78]

Love this card. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@carrierodriguez2863]

I bet the Christmas tree would’ve fit inside the shaker and then the sequins would shake around it. That would be cute too. Your card turned out beautiful.

[@ginnywhitcomb4857]

Love it Marta! Your excitement and pure love of design is wonderful ❤️

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

I love the card and all that is shiny...it is beautiful.

[@hayzzelnt]

I am so glad I found you! I love watching you experiment and your excitement. I will definitely save my packaging from now on. The grapes made me smile too : )

[@candyparent2483]

Gorgeous . Would love to receive a work of art like that for Christmas.

[@christianecarson4321]

Love love love it Marta!!! you have such wonderful ideas... I've watched a few videos about shaker cards but thought they were a bit too difficult for me.. plus I didn't want to buy a whole pack of acetate sheets just for one experiment that could be a disaster hehe but this is soooo much simpler than any other that I've ever seen, so now I'll go and search my craft room for packaging. I raided The Range yesterday and bought those same gorgeous 'Time to Sparkle' sentiments along with the matching small paper pad.. great minds think alike eh? Thank you for the inspiration as always and sending you all big hugs

[@MaremiSmallArt]

so happy to hear this! I did think same all same seeing sets for shaker cards :) for that reason never many any... until now, glad it is inspiring to try :) be sure to show me ! ps. yes great minds think alike but also... like each other :) :):):) big hugs my Chrisi :)

[@christianecarson4321]

I certainly will share soon sweetheart but I just need to finish off the last of my first batch of cards; however my Chinese watercolour paint set arrived this morning so I spent the day playing with them instead... love them and really surprised by the great quality :) xxx
