Hello crafty friends, Marine here, thank you so much for stopping by. As I promised last week, I'm back today with more 4th of July inspiration using a fun mix and match on shaker tags. I hope these will inspire you!
As very often, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers using the red, white and blue color palette. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Summer Sweets - icecreams, popsicles, milkshakes • Big Panda - sunglasses • North Pole - stars • Balloon Rides - banners.
Next I created three shaker tags. They all may be different in colors, the three of them were made the same way, so here is how I did the blue one, for example:
1. Cut a Scalloped Tag Circle out of blue cardstock, and used a 2,5 inches circle die from my stash to cut an opening out of it, leaving with a blue circle frame
2. Cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle out of acetate, and attached
my blue frame on top using liquid glue
3. Flipped my panel over, and
added 2mm foam strips all along the edges of the scalloped edges, following the
rounded shape
4. Poured some Americana confetti on the acetate
5. Cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle out of a Surprise Party starry blue paper
6. Peeled the backing papers off
the foam strips, and attached the starry blue panel to the strips to close the
shaker tag
7. Cut one last Scalloped Tag Circle out of the same blue
cardstock as 1. and stuck it at the back of the tag to make the back of my tag
as nice as the front
I created the red shaker tag and the white shaker tag following the same steps, and the white starry paper in the white tag is from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack.
I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then attached them on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I created three identical greetings using stamps from Beach Bus. I white heat embossed "Happy" on aqua cardstock and trimmed it into slim banners, I white heat embossed "Summer" on black cardstock, cut them using the matching die, and then attached a "Happy Summer" sentiment on each tag using foam squares again.
Next I tied matching twine to each tag to make handles, created three double bows out of a pretty gingham red ribbon (I wish I had the same in blue and white to make a perfect match) and attached a bow at the top of each tag using liquid glue. Finally I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the icecreams, popsicles and milkshakes, and glossy accents to the stars to bring shine and sparkle to those tags.
And that's it! These shaker tags were extremely fun to make and I hope that you like them. See you next week with a rainbow themed slimline card!
