More Tags....
I used different dies to create various apertures for interest.
I was also playing about with some 6 x 6 pads to make into tags similar to the other botanical ones I made. With these I folded the paper in half vertically and die cut an aperture. Using some small floral stickers I had in my stash, I stuck these onto some tracing paper and sandwiched them in between two layers. I then glued this inside the folded paper to make a tag.

Shaker Cards
I was recently watching a YouTube channel where a lady had made TN inserts ready for sale and added a shaker card to each of them so I thought I would have a go, as I have not made one for ages. I will put her name and a link to her channel below.
The first one I did following her instrucions was a square one using the celephane from a card bag and some offcuts of card from a recent project (which I may add this to it). I cut out the card long enough to fold and added an aperture using a die from my collection then made a frame to go around the aperture to add some interest. I cut the celophone and adhered it to a square of card and filled it with some leaves, beads and micro beads as I didn't have any sequins. I sealed it up and stuck it to the folded card and sealed it all down.
Not too bad for a first attempt, but it seemed quite a longwinded way of doing it to me so I attempted to cut down on a couple of stages to see if it worked. Instead of taping the celophone to a separate piece of card I taped it to the back piece of card on the shaker and once I had taped the sides down I filled it again with the beads and sealed it up. Yes! it seems to work well but to be honest it was still fiddly and I dont think it saved much time but still looks good. I actually like it with the small beads they make a nice satisfying beady sound and the micro beads come in lovely colours too.
I tried a few with various aperture shapes made with different dies and papers and am pleased with the first results (and the cut out apertures can be used in your journals as tuck spots or small jouranlling spaces).
Then I thought to myself "why not try and make a shaped shaker card?".... So bravely venturing on into the unknown, I cut out two oval shapes with one having a cut out in the centre for the shaker window. I adhered the celophane to the front part and added thin tape all around the edges of the shape. This was very fiddly I have to say and took a bit of time. I didnt think it would work but bravely carried on. I left part of the oval open so I could fill it with beads and then sealed it up and "voila" a shaped shaker card. I dont know if anybody else has attempted this but I haven't seen any so far. I should have chosen a larger shape as it would have been easier to bend the tape around but it looks quite cute.
