You know I couldn’t let the season of love pass by without some shaker tags! I used some of the fun, new things from Pretty Pink Posh\u2019s January release, along with a postage frame die for these cuties. I always love a good text background so I used the new Valentine Words Stencil<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>with white pigment ink on a pretty robin\u2019s egg blue for my tags. Then, I stamped some of my favorite hearts from the Decorative Hearts Stamp Set<\/strong><\/a> in pretty colors and spritzed them with some shimmer spray for a soft, glittery look.
I mentioned before how much I like the \u201cXOXO\u201d from the Decorative Hearts set because, I think, it\u2019s the perfect size. You can easily pop it into almost any Valentine themed card or tag design. Plus, look how beautifully the coordinating die cuts around that scripty text. Perfect. I paired the \u201cXOXO\u201d with a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Valentine Stamp Set<\/strong><\/a> and used the XOXO Clay Confetti<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>to fill my little shakers. A pretty pink ribbon and a place to address your Valentine finishes these fun, Valentine\u2019s Day shaker tags!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEPS<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. With the Valentine Word Stencil and white pigment ink, stencil on light blue, heavy-weight cardstock. My shaker tags are 3\u201d x 3\u201d, but you can make them any size. Let this dry before die cutting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stamp a variety of hearts in coordinating colors. I used Distress Inks in red, pink, blue, and green. Die cut with the coordinating dies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Stamp the \u201cXOXO\u201d in red and die cut. Stamp the sentiment in green and die cut with a sentiment strip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Die cut the stenciled panel to use as the background and the frame of your shaker tag. I used the second smallest (3\u201d x 4.25\u201d) Simon Says Stamp Postage Stamp Edge Frames die. I wanted a 3\u201d x 3\u201d panel so I did a partial die cut and then flipped the cardstock around and finished die cutting at 3\u201d instead of at 4.25\u201d. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Using the same partial die cutting as in step 4, die cut the same 3\u201d x 3\u201d panel from heavy-weight, white cardstock two times. One will be the back of the tag and the other will be used as part of the frame.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. With a small square nesting die, (I used a 2\u201d x 2\u201dsquare die) die cut the center of both the stenciled and one of the heavy-weight, white 3\u201d x 3\u201d panels, creating \u00bd\u201d frame pieces. With a piece of acetate cut to size, use double-sided tape to sandwich the acetate between the stenciled and the white frame pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Glue the stenciled 2\u201d x 2\u201d square piece, from the step above, to the center of the 3\u201d x 3\u201d white panel that wasn\u2019t die cut for the frame. This is the background of the shaker tag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. To create the walls of the shaker, attach two layers of foam strips around the backside of the frame piece, butting the ends of the strips as close together as possible. This will ensure your shaker material won\u2019t fall out. Use an anti-static tool around the sides of the foam tape to help keep the shaker material from sticking to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Fill the shaker walls with confetti and remove the release paper from the foam strips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Attach a tag holder die cut from light blue cardstock to the top of the background with liquid adhesive. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Place the background panel on the foam strips, aligning it with edges of the frame. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Attach stamped and die cut hearts and the sentiments to the front of the shaker with double-sided tape and\/or thin foam squares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Add embellishments and\/or a place to address the recipient to the back of the tag and add ribbon to the tag holder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
