Shaker Tags

I give out Christmas tags in my family's Christmas cards, and wanted to do a few special ones this year.  I picked the most labour intensive tags that I could (ha!) - shakers.

This is the How You Bean? stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn that I've had for a few years.  They've come out with several 'add on' sets, so this is the Christmas Cookies one, and the Mint one, created with the Shaker Add On set.

The mint ones were stamped with Pinkfresh Studio Berrylicious ink, and a few diecut bits of holly were added to the corner.  I used an ornament topper from another set to diecut the little hanger piece.  I cut a plain green jar shape, and created a second tag that will go behind - for the person to write on.  That way the shaker can be reused another year, simply by switching out the tag in behind.

The cookie ones were stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Copic markers.  Not my best colouring, as I used inexpensive paper (they're just tags), but they still turned out pretty cute.

 These were so fun to make, but definitely take a little extra time to put together.  I've been wanting to get some shaker tags made up for gifts, and had these little penguins from Sugar Pea Designs coloured up and ready to add to my tags.  After die cutting all my pieces, I created the shaker pocket by cutting a rectangle to glue behind, added some foam adhesive strips, and a piece of acetate - then glued it all under the opening in my tag, after adding an assortment of glitter and sprinkles.

Tags are Studio Katia, and the Sentiment is from Art Impressions.
