Hellooooo sweet friends! I am so grateful for you all. Just popping in on this Thanksgiving Eve to for a quick share, announce winners and a giveaway!
My Favorite Things is sharing my tags on their blog today woot woot. This first tag is an ornament die cut with some felt.
Thanks to Kelly Marie from Lawn Fawn for sharing how to make a shaker anything easier. First you have to start out with a great die like this one from My Favorite Things. Die cut some fun foam and die cut again with some “stick it”. Don’t forget to die cut some acetate to hold in all that shiny goodness.
die cut + fun foam = stick it + acetate = easy shaker
This “Winter Wonderland” stamp set from My Favorite Things is sooo fun to color with any medium. Add some spray ink in “unicorn white” from Hero Arts & you have an instant snowy scene.
Just in case you want to see these before they are transformed with the white ink. I do suggest after spraying you set the white ink with your heat gun. I love the shapes of my tag trio & the die cut set is full of goodies.
Another quick tip to add a little texture to your coloring with some alcohol markers. First color the background with a medium or dark ink color.
Color on top of your first color with a much lighter ink color. The lighter color will fade out the darker color and give you the look of some texture to the background. (Make sure you are coloring with some paper behind your project…not a kraft mat)

Great tags…I’m sort of into the shakers right now, too. MFT really does have some wonderful products. I have quite a few in my arsenal. LOL

Neat tags. I love not only the tag design, cut also the colors.
That shaker is beautiful! You always inspire me with your creativity. Thanks so much for all you share.
What a beautiful shaker card especially using the felt. I just adore the tags. Beautiful background color, just love that blue and lovely stamps. Thank you for all your ideas.
The shaker card is pretty. I like the tip about the mottled look by laying down the lighter color on top of the dark color. It looks really nice.
I actually am partial to the shaker but…love allll.Blessings…☺
I love that shaker card with felt! I don’t know why I haven’t tried felt out yet but I need to. You give us such awesome inspiration and I thank you bunches. 🙂
I love the big red ribbon on your tags Kathy. I’ve never thought of using a larger ribbon but it’s very festive! I’ve popped over to MFT to comment on your lovely work there also. <3
