First, choose a few colors from the Color Wheel Cardstock—such as buckets, mops, brushes, and sponges—die-cut them using the Squeaky Clean , and assemble them with glue to create a focal point.
For the bucket, I stamped “hello NEW DAY” from the Shiny New Day Sentiments stamp using Versa Mark Ink , sprinkled white embossing powder over it, and melted it with an embossing heat gun.
Create the pop-up mechanism and attach it to the inside of the card base.
I dabbed Versa Fine Clair Bali Blue onto the front of the Suds Buds 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the embossing machine. I attached this to the mechanism and decorated it with Classic Mouse and flowers. Underneath the mop, I cut cardstock into thin strips and arranged them in rainbow colors.
When you open the card, the mop slides back, revealing the rainbow.
I’ll attach the “Focal Point” from the Squeaky Clean set to the bottom right of the cover.
When you close the card, you can see the “Classic Mouse” and “Petal Fresh” flowers peeking through the oval window. When you open the card, the mop slides aside, a rainbow appears, and the Classic Mouse stands up.
I created this card using some products sent to me free charge.

onto white circle cardstock, then decorated the area around it with die-cut Petal Fresh
flowers .
Next, I ran four colors of white-core cardstock through the flower pattern of the “Suds and Buds” 3D embossing folder, then sanded the debossed areas with sandpaper
to bring out the white pattern and create the background.
Punch a hole in the transparent sheet (A-ONE OHP film) and attach Snap'N Slide to the hole. Make sure the flat side is facing up. If it becomes too tight, insert a pair of scissors into the gap to loosen it. Be careful not to push them in too far, or the snap fastener may come off. But don’t worry—you can reattach it.
If you stick the focal point onto the flat surface on the front, it will spin round and round.
I folded the transparent sheet at the top, bottom, left and right, applied double-sided tape, and wrapped it around the background; I then filled it with glass beads to make a shaker.
The second card is a fun shaker card made using the “Petal Fresh” die set from Squeaky Clean and the “Suds and Buds” 3D Embossing folder. Cleaning equipment such as mops, brooms and buckets are fun items that can really lift your spirits.
First, use the Petal Fresh Flower die to die-cut the white cardstock in a flowing pattern starting from the top left corner.
I removed the die-cut flowers, tapped the negative side of the Suds and Buds 3D Embossing Folder with Versa Fine Clair Bali Blue and Very Peri ink, and then ran them through the die-cutting machine.
Insert the flowers die-cut into the base card and stick it on.
I used the Squeaky Cleandies to die-cut small parts such as mops, brooms and buckets to create a focal point. I stamped the phrase ‘you’re stronger than you realize’ from the Shiny New Day Sentiments stamp set onto that bucket using Versa mark ink, then sprinkled white embossing powder over it and heat-set it.
Squeaky Clean のダイを使い、モップやほうき、バケツなど細かなパーツをダイカットしてfocal pointを作りました。そのバケツにShiny New Day Sentiments stampの”you're stronger than you realize" をバーサマークでスタンプしホワイトエンボスパウダーを振りかけて溶かしました。
As with the first card, punch a hole in a transparent sheet (A-ONE OHP film) and attach a Snap'N Slide to the hole. If you stick a Squeaky Clean focal point onto the flat surface on the front, it will spin round and round.
I folded the transparent sheet at the top, bottom, left and right edges, applied double-sided tape, and wrapped it around the background. Inside, I placed mica flakes dyed with blue alcohol ink.
If this spins too much, it looks a bit odd, so I used pearl gems to create a stopping point, just like a windshield wiper.
Folding the clear sheet gives it a plump, rounded shape and creates a gap, so the shaker rattles nicely. The snap fastener also minimizes gaps, so nothing spills out.
I ended up with a fun card that spins around and around.

I created a pop-up card using the Sakura blossoms and kokeshi doll dies from Spellbinders .
The kimono of the kokeshi is made with traditional Chiyogami paper. ✨
The Sakura blossoms begin to centers deepen into a richer pink — a quiet sign that the petals will soon fall. Even in their final moments, the drifting petals create a beautiful “ Sakura snow,” making the ending just as magical. ✨🌸
桜の季節も終わりに近づいてきました。🌸 Little Angel ♪のSakura blossoms と Kokeshi doll ダイを使ってポップアップカードを作りました。
I created a pop-up card combining Sakura blossoms dies with the Classic Mouse dies. 🌸🐭
Cherry blossom season is short, but soon all of Japan will be covered in soft pink, welcoming the arrival of spring. The cherry blossoms dies were released by Spellbinders in 2020. 🌸
