Christmas Shaker Tags!

Oh Hello everyone,
Hope you are having a great day! How is the transition of seasons happening at your place? Perth is getting warmer finally. I am going into spring with cooler mornings and evenings. So happy to see some sunshine. I know for many of you living in the northern hemisphere are in Autumn. I live down under. We have had a unusual long cold winter. It is so exciting to have a gorgeous spring day.

Anyway, I have been busy yesterday and made a set of shaker Christmas tags using Taylored Expressions stamp set and dies.

Tag1

I have used Tag Stacklet 3 and Stitched Circle Stacklet dies to create my shaker frame and backing for the shaker tags. I used the second largest Tag Stacklet 3 and fourth stitched circle die from Stitched Circle Stacklet placed in the middle to die cut four white tag frames. I adhered circle acetate sheet behind the frames.
For the background, I die cut four stitched white circle from third stitched circle die. I sponged TE dye inks on the background. On two of the circles, I sponged Lemon Meringue, Cookie Monster. The other two are sponged with Plum Punch and Cookie Monster. I stamped two of them with Birch Tree background stamp using Sugar Cube ink and the other two with Earl Grey dye ink.
The focal point images are from Santa's Helper stamp set which are stamped using Oreo hybrid ink, copic coloured and die cut using the coordinating dies. I adhered them on the base circle with foam adhesives. How cute are they with their santa hats?
I put the shaker tag together with couple of them with Snow Flurries sequins and the other two with Build a Scene sequins. I gold heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set on Cherry Pop card stock. I hand cut them out and adhered on the shaker tags. Finally I added couple of bells for each tag and tie the gold twine into a bow. Here the individual tag photos.

I love the unicorns from the Magical Unicorns stamp set. So cute that I used all the three unicorns from the stamp set to make a set of three cards for this challenge. All three cards have unicorns, pink colour, fog card base and a splash of gold. I stamped all the unicorns, rainbow and clouds on white cardstock, coloured the rainbow and unicorns in pink, added grey shading to the clouds and hand cut them all out to make my cards. Here is the first one.

Have a dreamy day 2

As I said before my card base if made out of Fog card stock. I then sponged a watercolour paper with distress inks Spin Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry randomly and spatter with water to add texture.  I then used Simon Says Stamp Stacked Stars die to die cut the sponged watercolour paper. I adhered this die cut to the card front.

At the centre of the die cut I adhered the Unicorn using foam adhesive. I tucked in the clouds and flush glued the rainbow. The sentiment I simply stamped on scrap piece of watercolour paper using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and adhered using foam adhesives. I die cut some scrap piece of gold foiled cardstock using the Stacked Star die and used the mini stars from the die cuts to scatter randomly on the card.

My second card uses another Unicorn from Magical Unicorn from Pink and Main and the Build a Rainbow die from Simon Says Stamp.

On the card front I stamped the clouds randomly using Fog dye ink from Simon. One a watercolour paper I sponged distress inks Spun Sugar, Worn Liptstick and Picked Raspberry. I die cut rainbow using Simon Says Stamp Build a Rainbow die. To ground the rainbow(I know it sounds weird), I used a strip of gold foil paper.

I used some Stacked Stars die cut using gold foil paper on the background and adhered the unicorn on the centre of the rainbow using foam adhesives. I stamped the sentiment using MISTI before I adhered the unicorn. Then scattered some of the gold and pink stars around the sentiment and focal image.

My third card uses the last Unicorn image from the stamp set and Simon Says Stamp Birthday Circle die.

Dreamy Day 2


I stamped the card front with the clouds, rainbow and star images from the stamp set using fog dye ink from Simon. Again I sponged watercolour paper with the same distress inks and die cut the paper using Simon Says Stamp Birthday Circle die. I adhered this die with the centre circle on the top centre of the card front.

I stamped the sentiment below the die cut and adhered the Unicorn on the centre of the circle die cut using foam adhesive. Finally I scattered glued some gold stars.
