How to Make Valentine’s Day Lady Bug Shaker Cards

January 15, 2026 by Heather Holbrook

How to Make Valentine's Day Lady Bug Shaker Cards

Marine used products from Pretty Pink Posh to create some wonderful Lady Bug Shaker cards for Valentine’s Day. She used trendy colors like teal, pink and red for her color scheme, creating two different cards mixing that color combo. She used lots of different card making techniques like stenciled and splattered lady bug backgrounds, masking and then die cutting the white edges. The large lady bugs are created with dies using thin foam tape to create “pockets” to fill with colorful beads for the shaker elements. There’s also black enamel dots for the bugs spots on the acetate and fun googly eyes too. Her sentiments where stamped and heat embossed, one on a die cut banner. 

Visit the Blue Marine Craft blog for step by step and video tutorial directions.
