It’s Day Two of 24 Tags of Christmas week!! This time we’ll be playing with Zig markers – and a way to make a thicker shaker card, for those larger blings we might want to use!
I decided to stamp and diecut out of Ranger’s Distress Watercolor Cardstock – for one, it’s extra-white, and for two, I have a stash taking up a spot I want to use to store something else. LOL. Crafters problems, right? And the die set has beautiful pierced details…so pretty!

Video
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

I stamped the tissue paper to wrap the box using some other inks – try out what you have in your stash, it seems that both pigment and dye inks work, both on the slicker and duller side of tissue paper. (If yours has two sides. I bought the cheap stuff at the drugstore to try out!)
Giveaway
Tradition is to give away the 24 tags…I’ll pick 24 winners from blog posts and YT comments, so leave some love and maybe you’ll win! Woohoo!

Very cute! Never would have thought to make shaker tags.
Your tags are amazing. Love using a frame on a tag. Who would have thought to do that. Great design. TFS
Your video on making shaker cards is so helpful. And your coloring of images look effortless (even when I know it’s not). TFS
Another wonderful video. Thanks you for sharing your great ideas.
Another fun tag! Thanks for all the work you’ve done this week to make these fabulous tags for us. 😀
I loved this tag–I ordered the stamp set and made three tags for my nieces. Thank you so much for this great idea and a video to show me how to do it!
Very cute!!!! Howling over the tag!
These tags are wonderful. I have been making more and more shaker cards, but had not thought of using the technique for tags! Great idea!
Howling cute
Your shaker card is too cute! I love the Zig pens!
OMGosh! I am getting so many cute ideas – and I have been stamping since 1977 – Not a neophyte here! It just proves there is always something you can learn!

I just found your blog this week and I am loving the things you do. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love the idea of shaker tags and your puppy is so cute!
Very cute. I had a little giggle about using up the paper to free up space the reason for selecting that paper. Me, too. I’ve designed some cards specifically to use up certain supplies.
I’m a dog lover, so I definitely am enjoying these tags!
Cute shaker tag!

Shaker tags are so much fun! My grandsons will love them, especially with a dog. Thanks for all you do to help us learn and create.
Loved them. I don’t know if I’m suppose to be commenting on here if I leave a comment on the video. If so, let me know because those bunnies need a comment from this Bunny.
I am not really a dog (or cat) (or pet) person, but these are so much fun for my friends who are! Thank you.
I love making tags for my gifts, will add shaker tags to my list.
Shaker tags are such a fun idea! My nephews will love this and it’s a great excuse to buy more sequins 🙂
