The One with the Thinking of You Shaker Tag

Hello everyone.

For this Shaker card, the measurements were totally eyeballed. I know, shocking... So, the base is a weird size and might look a bit better if you take the time to measure. Just a suggestion. A little hindsight wisdom. I made the tag portion of the project with a tag punch. super simple. It's glued on with red line tape. I finished it off by rounding the corners with my 1" corner rounder.

Shaker panel

I used the Time for Tea Designs Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut both pieces of cardstock in my shaker sandwich. I ink blended stripes of orange and green onto the panel in a diagonal fashion. I used low tack tape as a guide for the stripes.

I then used the T4TD Thinking of You Sentiment die set to cut out both the sentiment itself and a window into the shaker panel. I backed the panel with acetate cut to hide nicely within the sandwich adhered flat to the underside of the top panel.

Sentiment

The "thinking of you" sentiment was adhered to the back panel of the sandwich flat using liquid adhesive. This will allow it to be read more clearly through the window. It also gives some dimension to the tag.

Embellishments

I added white glitter stripes to the front panel before adding a layer of foam tape behind it. The dimension of the foam tape will create the shaker pocket. Make sure you don't leave any holes or your sequins will escape.

The shaker pocket was filled with clear sequins to add more shine. To make it even shinier I added some silver sequin and silver twine as well as some white twine to make it pop even more. I cinched them all together using a small white clothespin.

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set and the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies in the T4TD shop.
