Christmas shaker tags with the fuse tool!

Hello!!

Today I have some shaker tags  which I have made using the We R Memory Keepers Fuse tool.

It is such a fun tool...once you figure out how to use it!!

Here is a really good video showing you how to use it.

I found its good to let it get really hot before using it. 

It works best of soft plastic folders..like the one shown below.

I haven't had any success on acetate.

It comes with a steel ruler which can be used a s a guide to seal the plastic. 

I tried to make  circular tags...but found them very difficult.

So, after many attempts, I decided to make simple rectangular tags.

These were really easy to make. 

I started by placing the embellished tag inside the plastic sleeve and sealing it on three sides. 

I left one side open to fill with the shaker elements...lots of gorgeous sequins from A1 Craft supply!

I then sealed the fourth side, punched a hole and added a rivet and twine to finish the tag.

I also added some embellishments and sentiments on the top of the tags for interest.

I used the We are Memory Keepers 123-punch board to make a little box to hold the tags I made. 

I followed Jennifer McGuires video to make this box.

I hope you are inspired to try out the Fuse Tool and the 123 envelope punch board from 

We are Memory Keepers!

and 

A $25 gift voucher from Winnie and Walter

Here is some inspiration to get you started....

To make this card I decided to use NEW stuff from my stash. Something I have never used before!

The gold glitter patterned paper is a free down load from Winnie and Walter, as are the Cheers die and the confetti cutaways.

I added some pretty pink posh sequins to add some more cheer and sparkle.

To make the shaker tag, I used NEW shaker pouches from Impression Obsession. They are just fantastic to use...so easy and simple!
I had two squares cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched squares left over after making my Christmas cards. So I decided to use them to make a tag.
The stamps are from the Avery Elle birthday animal stamp set and the sequins are from my stash.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! It's an exciting start to the new year isn't it?
