Join us! It is WORD week at Just Us Girls. Carol is challenging us to use the word "MOVE" in our cards. Interestingly, I took this literally and made the card below. I can always use a new home card in my stash, but as I thought more about MOVE, I realized Carol probably meant for the card to move. I decided to make a Christmas shaker with Cathy Zielsky's tree coverplate. I made sixteen cards with 4 letter-sized sheets. I love dies with no waste! Eight shakers and eight of the cards above with repeating trees. The shakers were easy and filled with large sequins. The small tree die-cuts were sprayed with metallic paint (in a box!) and added to white A2 card bases. So easy.

What a great take on the prompt with that moving to a new home card! And I love your shaker cards and the way you could use the die cut trees from the coverplate to make even more cards! Brilliant way to use everything!
Your shaker cards - as well as those made with the 'leftovers' - are outstanding showcases of this week's theme. You've definitely been 'moving and shaking' in making all these delights.
