Hello There, Sunshine!

Simon Says Stamp | You Are My Favorite Release
04/27/2025

Hi friends!

I’m sharing a fun and lighthearted shaker card today featuring the Peeking Duck die set from the You Are My Favorite release by @SimonSaysStamp! I dare you not to smile at this little duck! 🐣 He’s peeking out from a circle shaker window, surrounded by cheerful yellow flowers and sparkly bits that move with every little shake 💛

This card is perfect for sending a friendly hello or a bit of unexpected happy mail—because who wouldn’t love a surprise visit from this feathered cutie?

Design Highlights

  • 🦆 Peek-a-boo duck: The star of the show! This little guy peeks out from the center of the design, framed by layered die cuts and springy florals.
  • ✨ Shaker element fun: I filled the circular window with coordinating yellow sequins (new in this release) for a little sparkle and sound every time it’s moved.
  • 🌼 Floral accents: Soft yellow and orange blooms (also from this release) frame the scene and bring all the sunny energy to the design.
  • 💬 Simple greeting: A stamped “Hello There” grounds the card with a warm, playful font that matches the vibe perfectly.
  • 🌞 Clean design, happy color palette: A mostly white card base lets the bright yellow tones shine while keeping things fresh and modern.

This was such a joy to make—simple shapes, soft colors, and a whole lot of charm. Whether you’re crafting for spring, Easter, or just because, this sweet shaker card is bound to lift someone’s spirits 💌

Thanks for waddling by!

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

    Oh my he made me smile and laugh! He is just too cute. I have never seen a circle in a circle shaker. I would love to try this.

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
