Designer's Choice: Garden Fairy Shaker Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of bee themed shaker tags. I've had this idea of creating bee fairies since last year, so I'm glad I can finally share this project with you.

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I picked:

• Garden Fairy for three fairies
• Garden Critters for the bees
• Just Bee-cause for the beehive
• Little Birdie for the branch
• Love Birds for a heart and flowers

Next I worked on the shaker tags. I built them following the same process, so here are the different steps:

1. Cut a Scalloped Tag Circle out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, and use a 2,5 inches circle die to cut a window out of it

2. Use the same Scalloped Tag Circle die to cut a whole tag out of acetate, and another one out of a Polka Dot Parade aqua pattern paper

3. Attach the acetate tag at the back of the woodgrain tag using liquid glue, and add foam strips on the acetate, all along the scalloped edges of the tag, following the rounded shape

4. Pour some shaker accessories on the acetate, I used 3mm clear sequins, peel the backing papers off the foam strips, and attach the polka dot aqua tag to close the shaker tag

I stamped "What's buzzin'?" from Garden Critters on each tag, directly on the acetate, using white stazon ink, attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added ribbon and twine, applied a little bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on the hearts and wings, and finished my tags with highlights and details using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I really love how those shaker tags turned out, I hope you like them too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.
