Stamp Anniething - Melanie with Ornaments Holiday Tag

Happy Holidays! Christmas is almost here and I've made one last tag using the adorable digital stamp from Stamp Anniething called Melanie with Ornaments. I had so much fun making this shaker tag. The shaker dies are also available from Stamp Anniething. I used Shaker Basics Set 2 and the Winter Add On-Holiday Tag.

I printed and colored this stamp using Copic markers (colors listed below). I cut out two of the Winter Add On-Holiday dies using craft foam and one using silver glitter paper. I like using craft foam to build the shaker thicker so that the shaker bits move more freely. Plus I like using liquid glue to glue the layers instead of foam tape. I don't like the shaker bits sticking on the sides of foam tape. Next cut out the back piece using the tag die from Shaker Basics Set 2 using white cardstock and also a piece of acetate. 

To assemble the pieces, first glue the two foam pieces together with strong adhesive liquid glue. Then glue the glitter cardstock to the front. Let the glue dry before continuing. Next, add your shaker bits. Then glue on the acetate. Let the glue dry before shaking it! 

Cut a piece of baker's twine about 10 inches. Tie knots on both ends so it doesn't unravel. Fold in the center and adhere to the tag. I used a glue dot. You will sandwich the twine with the back piece to hold it in place. Apply liquid glue or strong adhesive tape for the backing. 

Optional:  Add some flowers and leaves to the corners of your tag. You can embellish with anything you like. You can use jelly dots, enamel dots, rhinestones, etc.
