The movement, the sparkle, and the little surprise inside all add a fun interactive element that catches the eye right away. But if you’ve ever felt intimidated by shaker cards, you’re definitely not alone. They often look much more complicated than they really are, and that can make them feel out of reach—especially if you’re newer to cardmaking. For this Spring Hey Shaker Card, I wanted
