Once every year hubby and I get together for dinner with two of my oldest and dearest friends and their hubbies from high school. Seems everyone is always so busy with work and family nowadays but we've made a promise to each other to meet at least once a year to catch up on each others' lives. I usually like to bring along a homemade treat to share, this time I filled these take out boxes with cereal mix and added a fun shaker tag.
I came across lots of very cute shaker tags on Pinterest last year when I was learning to make shaker cards and thought, "Oh, I want to try that too!" So here we are, my first attempt at shaker tags. I created the tags with heart window using Make the Cut design program and filled the shakers with pretty pink iridescent heart confetti.
Then to represent the three of us, I used stamped images from
Dandelion Designs. These kawaii kimono girls come from the "Tea Time" and "Friends" cling stamp sets. These shaker tags are fun to make and I'm tossing around the idea of maybe doing something similar in a holiday theme for my Christmas treat boxes this year... well maybe, if I get started early enough!
And here's what went inside the boxes..."Furikake Crispex with Macadamia Nuts"...a sweet treat for my very special friends!
Eeeeeek! Eunice these are SO cute!! I absolutely love them! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving me sweet comments! I really appreciate that! I know how busy we all are! Thank you for sharing another amazing project.Shakers are a lot of work but so worth it in the end. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Tina
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great way to give treats to friends. They are very lucky that you took the time to make shaker tags to go with the box. I love the use of the images and sentiment. Sometimes to make the tags 'keepers' (since they do take so much time) I attach a calendar so the recipient will keep the tag for at least a year. This works well for holiday tags on hostess or office gifts.
