I think fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp air and all the fall colors. This fall shakers tag file I am sharing with you today is so versatile. You can make the tag as a shaker, or just use the front panel for a tag. Then, you have a variety of different ways to use your tag. On a card, a gift, in a journal, with mixed media…

With its shimmering fibers and rich brown hue, the Stardream Metallic card stock is one of my favorite brands of card stock from CutCardStock. The fall tag is made with the bronze Stardream card stock.

Use a personal cutting machine that works with an SVG file. The tag’s size can be adjusted. I made mine 3.5″ wide, and cut mine on a Cricut Maker at 100# card stock. I’d recommend cutting the file twice. After the first cut, don’t remove the mat but push the go button to cut again. If your mat has lost some adhesion, I recommend using washi tape on all four sides of the card stock to hold it in place.

A few materials are needed to create this project, and changing what you use can change the look as well as make the project fun! Coordinate the shaker elements with the ribbon to personalize your tag.

Materials:

  • Cutting Machine – Cricut Maker
  • free SVG file
  • card stock
  • adhesive
  • clear acetate
  • foam tape
  • shaker elements

You can recycle the clear acetate from some packaging. The cut shape is not included in the SVG file. Just use your tag as a guide to cut the size you need.

With Makers Movement

What a fun twist on making a shaker card, a shaker tag. The Makers Movement sent me a new set of Rainbow Shaker elements and I wanted to try them out. I was ready to make a shaker tag with the Nested Tag Die Set and the Hello Word Die.

Using the CrossOver II I cut my cardstock and transparency sheet. I used the nested dies to press into the adhesive foam core and then cut it with a craft knife. The CrossOver II can handle all kinds of material because it has a unique dial that can adjust the steel rollers for a variety of different thicknesses.

Here are all the cut pieces ready to begin assembling them together. You can see the entire process in the video tutorial below.

The close-up above shows the thickness of the three layers of embossing powder. The pearlescent quality of the embossing changed the color of the card stock some of which add to the difference between the layers of white letters on the white tag.
