Make It Monday: Birthday Wishes Window Shaker Card

This week I was inspired by a card that Jennifer McGuire of Jennifer McGuire Inks made.  It was a window shaker card.  I know, they've been done before and I've personally seen thousands (well, maybe not thousands) of videos on how to make this type of card.  But it was something Jennifer said and used that finally made the process click for me and inspired me to give it a try.  To watch Jennifer's video on how to make a window shaker card, click here.

So what finally made this card click for me?  Not having to buy expensive acetate (clear sheets) to make the window of the cards.  Thanks to Jennifer, I learned that I could use just about any clear packaging to make these cards.  She even suggested using the clear envelopes that your stamps come in.  What did I use?  The clear plastic protective sleeves that I package my cards in to sell!

I hope Jennifer can inspire you and unlock some of the mysteries of card making.  I love watching her videos to learn new techniques.
