Today I’m exploring Number 10 cards (4″ x 9.25″) and how to create custom cards for birthdays with Wide Washi tape from Altenew. I love shaker cards and I’ve been making tons of these lately.

Today’s process video tutorial shows you how you can incorporate gold into your cardmaking. Today I’m using Scrapbook and Cards Today Stamps (they are also a magazine!) as well as several products from my stash.
