SQUEEZING IT IN..

 Hello everyone,

I have a tag to share today after finding an old die in my stash, slipped inside another set and I was so happy I just had to play..BUT!!

I struggled..


Here's the die and I planned on a shaker
so cut it out and glued acetate behind the openings..


so far so good..


then I fished out these papers and I have a huge amount of them..A5's.


This is where it went belly up..
I die cut the paper and added on top, over the glass..
added beads and shook  it, and the beads went all over the place..ha ha ha..
I sealed it wrong.


so here the beads were gone, so I added the die cut of the glass into the gap..




added a top tab and some inky edges with TH Ground Espresso ink..


then some glass bubble beads were glued on
the outside of the glass and on the tag..


So finally it was done...
with only minimal ear shattering curses..

Thank you so much for stopping by,
see you soon..

luv CHRISSYxx

  8. Well, for all the cursing, this turned out wonderful. I love the glass bubble beads, just as good if not better than a shaker. Great paper too. x

  9. Your finished glass tag design is very stunning! I love your idea with the glued on beads too! I know there are some people that struggle with keeping shaker bits inside, some have luck with a clear/cello style bag/envelope to help with it. But this turned out very nice!

  10. Oh I bet that was a shock when all the shaker stuff went all over. I think what you ended up with turned out great though, like your idea of adding the bubbles too, cool papers you got there.
