Shaker Gift Tags Featuring The Sweet Stamp Shop
*This is my second post of the day! If you are hopping along with Clique Kits, you can pick up my post HERE*
Hi It’s Tyra and I’m here to share a cute and quick little tutorial to create shaker gift tags featuring Monster Mash and Holiday Town from the Sweet Stamp Shop:
I used a Silhouette File to for a shaker shadow box and simply assembled as shown in the pictorial. Don’t forget your acetate to keep your sparkles inside! I also added a panel to the back with string to convert this shaker into a gift tag! I kicked it up a notch by adding a stamped image — perfect for a spooktacular or holiday gift tag:
Here is my finished result:
Super easy – I promise!

A “Cut” Above The Rest, featuring Sweet Stamp Shop
Hey Crafty friends, today I want to share a few ways I use my metal nested dies to make a statement. I’m featuring Sweet Stamp Shop’s Enjoy Calligraphy set — it’s truly a go-to set when you need to create quick and easy cards: 
The quotes are in so dreamy, I used one of my dies from a “nested” set to crop out a cloud scene: 
To make this card:
Super Fast and easy! Drawing off of the inspiration of this quote, I use a metal balloon die to create the same impact in a slightly different way:
Have you noticed a theme here? I used the quote as a source of inspiration for using the cloud paper and the balloon die.
Stop by the Sweet Stamp Blog tomorrow for a two more fun techniques with metal dies that I’m sure will make you dust off your die sets. Take care and thanks for stopping by! xo, Tyra
