InkyStamper: Wanna Piece of Me Shaker Tag Tutorial

Hello, would you like some pie? LOL! I was gifted a ton of pink shipping tags and decided to make a shaker tag out of them :) It's still summer but this Pie Stamp and Die Set has me thinking fall and pumpkin pie! Let me show you how!

**I receive products from InkyStamper and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Ralph and His Pie Die Cut

Stamp Ralph and his pie onto white cardstock with black ink. Then die-cut him out with the matching die. I always cut a couple just in case and store them with the stamp and die set.

My shaker tag will be shaking in the pie so I hand-cut the filling out.

Then watercolor the image with desired colors. For the whipped cream, I tried a dimensional paint but didn't like it so I used Liquid Pearl instead. Set aside to dry. Let's work on the tags!

Front Tag Step Outs

These are the steps I took to prep my front tag from pink to gesso to inking the edges.

Trim a piece of patterned paper to cover the entire tag and ink the edges before adhering down.

I also trimmed the corners.

To make the shaker window, I die cut the Ralph with Pie shape in the center of the tag. Don't forget to punch a hole on the top. Set aside.

With a piece of silver foil cardstock, I stamped the fork from the Pie Stamp and Die Set with black ink. Die-cut the shape with its matching die.

Finally, stamp the sentiment from the set on a piece of orange cardstock, hand-cut into a strip and then cut a ribbon tail on one end. Set those pieces aside. Let's work on the back tag.

Back Tag Step Outs

Take another pink shipping tag, and trim about 1/8-inch off three sides (leaving the top side as is). This is to make sure the back tag is not seen from the front.

Trim a piece of patterned paper to cover the entire tag, adhere and trim the upper corners. Punch the hole on the top.

Assemble the Shaker Tag

Let's up these tags together. First, I cut a piece of clear acetate to cover the window and adhered it down.

Using a sheet of double-sided adhesive foam, I cut strips to fit the back of the front tag

Add sequins in the well, I used three different colors to match my patterned papers. Remove the liners and with the patterned paper side facing down, add the back tag on top. Press down to secure.

Add the die cuts, sentiment strip, twine, and ribbons to the tag front. To cover the back of the tag, trim a piece of patterned paper to fit (don't forget to trim the upper corners and punch a hole on top) and adhere.

Lastly, thread ribbon through the top opening and tie a bow (secure with an Adhesive Dot). Done!

Can You Spare a Square Mixed Media Tag

During these times, I pulled out a quirky stamp set from Chelsea Comer of InkyStamper that would fit the bill! Hope you get a chuckle out of it as much as I have! LOL!

**I receive products from InkyStamper (stamp set), and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Spare a Square Tag Step Outs

Let's start with a shipping tag that I covered with white acrylic paint. Two coats and dry in between coats for good coverage.

Using three colors of Gelatos (Cinnamon, Butterscotch, and Iced Coffee), I colored horizontally and then used wipes to blend the colors for a softer look.

Since I had the gelatos out, I used the same combination and design to color on a piece of white cardstock. I flip the paper so now my strips are vertical and stamp the Ralph image. Using the matching die, I die-cut the image out.

I nested three Wonky Square dies, secured with washi tape, and die-cut them with white cardstock. This makes two frames and a solid shape. Edge each shape with Black Licorice Gelato and blend with fingertips.

Next, I turned the square into a diamond shape and adhere the squares together with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive.

For the center, I popped up the last square with leftover 3D Foam Creative Sheets. I also did the same with the Ralph die cut and centered on top of the square shape.

With a scrap piece of white cardstock, I stamped a sentiment and hand-cut a banner. I edged the banner with Black Licorice and my fingertip. Adhere at the bottom of the tag. Lastly, I thread my ribbon and twine on top.

As always, thanks for stopping in!

Easter Blessings Mixed Media Tag

Wishing you all peace and happiness during these extraordinary times. As we are under the "Shelter in Place" mandate in IL, I decompress by playing with my art supplies during my free time.

Today I am sharing an Easter Blessings tag created with colors from Jane Davenport with Spellbinders® Paper Arts. Using die cuts and patterned papers on my desk, this is what I came up with...let me show you!

**I receive products from Memory Palette Co., Spellbinders® Paper Arts, and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Easter Blessings Tag Basics

I covered a manila shipping tag with white paint front and back - couldn't find my gesso! LOL!

Fussy cut little tags from the MP-60140 Peter's World C-7-13 patterned paper. Then using a leftover piece of Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12-inch, I applied the adhesive on the back of each little tag. Then place them on the painted tag. Refer to the image for my placement. Trim off excess.

Next cover the front with white paint and paint brush. Let Dry.

Coloring the Background

Color the tag with three colors, I used from the bottom: Eccentric, Deep Vain, and French Kiss from the ColorStick Silky Skin set. Blend the colors with a moist Blend in Blender sponge. Layer more color until you get the desired look. Let Dry.

After the layer dried, I used a dot stencil with the Ocean Eyes DramaStick Waterproof Pencil Crayons in Spark (White) color. Make sure the dry time is long since it's an oil base. I dried it overnight. The next day, I created splatters by flicking a couple of Mermaid Markers in BlueBottle and Deep Sea colors for added interest.

Embellishing the Tag

Now the fun part, layering die cuts and paper cuts! First I started with a frame that I fussed cut a while ago from the MP-60263 A4 So Sweet One pattern paper. Adhere it with 3D Foam Strips - it's perfect for narrow areas to adhere to. Secured on a tilted angle in the center of the tag.

Add the leaves and vine sprigs die cuts to the left inside of the frame with Adhesive Dots Small.

I had a rolled blue spiral flower so I added it between the leaves and sprigs with an Adhesive Dot Large. Even on a painted surface, these adhesive dots work well!

Using 3D Foam Strips, I secured a little tag under the flower and added a blue rhinestone on top.

I stamped and die-cut an Easter sentiment on white cardstock. Then placed a pink rhinestone and 3D Foam Strip before adding it to the bottom of the tag.

Next, I adhered a butterfly die cut on the frame with an Adhesive Dot Small and added three pink rhinestones on the body. I also added blue and pink rhinestones randomly around the tag for more sparkle!

Lastly, I didn't like the ribbons I had so I colored a 10-inch white ribbon in Deep Sea, JellyFish, and StarFish from the Mermaid Markers set with water. Add more layers of color for the desired look. Let dry, thread through the opening and tie a bow. Done!

CAS So Sweet Junk Tag Tutorial by Margie Higuchi

To create a project and to clean my desk at the same time, I thought I would use supplies on my desk ;)

The framed designs from a patterned paper caught my eye so I started to fussy cut out the inside. Then flipped it to the backside, wrapped pink twine around it and added scraps of 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Simply cut a size that would fit the back of the paper. Set Aside.

With the scraps from the Watercolor Splash Glacier Blue paper, I die-cut several vines out from the Layered Leaf Vines die. Repeat the same steps with vellum and white cardstock.

A couple of shipping tags were on the table so I grabbed one and embossed with the Horsehair Embossing Folder. Designer Note: lightly mist the tag with water to loosen the paper fibers for good results. Love the texture!

From the first step, I adhered two frames using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots. Isn't cute? Has a built-in nose guard, small to put in a pencil case and perfect for planners!

Take a few of the vine die cuts and decide how to cluster them. I used Adhesive Dots Small on the tips of the vines to secure. Once the placement is determined, tuck the ends into the twine and press down to adhere to the Adhesive Dot. Repeat on the other side. Take off the liner in the back and center onto the top frame of the tag.

Do you have any of these rolled flower etched dies? I love them. Die-cut using a piece of Watercolor Splash Fresh Lemonade Paper and roll it with a quill tip. Don't forget to lightly mist. Designer Tip: start rolling in a tight formation and loosen up as you are halfway along.

After you get your desired flower shape, secure with an Adhesive Dots 3D, and then onto the bed of vines.

For the sentiment die cut, I lifted it using scraps of 3D Foam Creative Sheet. It cuts so easy with my scissors.

Then finish with randomly adding a few Rhinestones Light Pink on the tag, and threading ribbon and twine through the tag opening.

Here's a second look at the finished tag.

Wishing you all a SWEET 2020! Can't thank you all enough for following me and if you're new, I hope I can inspire you in the new year :)
