Hi and welcome to my blog. It was my best friend’s birthday last week, and a special one at that. So, for a very special lady I needed something very special – I hope she liked this shaker card with a surprise pop-up inside …

I loved the shaker element of the card – all those sparkly sequins…
Glittery stars were attached to the outside of the acetate too …

The champagne glimmer paper added lots of glitz and glamour …

And when the card was opened, up popped the surprise!

I love pop-up cards – don’t you?
