Shaker Tag Designed by Sue Eldred
How to make a Egg-stra Special Shaker Tag
Supplies Used:- Stamps and Dies (from the Maker's Movement)
- Die Cut Machine
- Clear Acetate Sheets
- Double Sided Craft Foam
- Black Ink
- Art Markers
- Deflecto Expandable Marker Accordion
- Heavyweight Watercolor Paper
- Decorative Scrapbook Paper

- Stamp the chick image with black ink onto white cardstock.
- Stamping on non-porous white card-stock helps the markers blend easier.
- Color in the edge of the chick with the light ochre marker. Use the pale yellow marker to blend and fill in the rest of the chick.
- Line up chick die with the stamped image. (cutting side down) I use a piece of removable tape on my die to hold it in place as I run in through the die cut machine.
- Using a nesting tag dies, center and tape the two dies together to create a tag frame.
Shaker Tag pieces:
- Cut a large tag from the largest nested tag die.
- Cut a large green dot tag. Cut a wavy line die on the bottom of the tag.
- Adhere bottom of the wavy cut tag onto the blue skies tag.
- Cut a acetate tag from the next largest nesting tag die.
- Cut a large purple gingham egg, a floral cracked egg and several small eggs from coordinating scrapbook paper.
- On the back of the tag frame, add a thin line of adhesive around the inside opening of the tag.
- Remove the protective coating from both sides of the acetate and place it on top of the adhesive.
- Cut thin strips from the double-sided foam sheets. Remove one side of the protective layer from the foam strips and place around the inside edges of the tag.
- Add shaker bits inside tag.
- Remove the second side of the protective layer from the foam strips and adhere to the blue skies layer on the inside of the tag.
- Glue the small floral cracked half egg onto purple gingham egg.
- Add foam to the back of chick and egg and add to front of the card.
- Punch a hole on the top of the tag using the crop-a-dile, add purple and white twine.
- Adhere ribbon bow to top of the tag.
