Time for another challenge from Cut it Up! This time around, we’re asking you to create a tag. Our awesome sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, sent us some dies to work with. We’re so appreciative of their generosity. I got the Scallop Tags and the 4 Petals Fri-Dies! I had so much fun creating with them.
I knew I wanted to make a shaker tag. There are two Scallop Tags that come connected by thin metal pieces, and they happen to be perfectly centered to one another. So before I cut them apart, I cut out one patterned paper and several green papers. That way, I didn’t have to add any foam or anything to make the shaker. You can see the layers here. 
The pretty flower is made with the 4 Petals dies, and the sequins inside the shaker are from CAS-ual Fridays, too. They’re the Sistahood Sparkle, Limited Edition, and no longer available.
All the papers are from my scraps file. The sentiment is from the Hope Ribbon collection, also from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. It’s a breast cancer awareness set but this sentiment is universal! 🙂
Well, after I had cut out all those green layers I had lots of cute little green scalloped tags left on my desk. 
I couldn’t waste them!! and the 4 Petals dies could very easily make poinsettias and I could always use Christmas tags . . . So – and here’s the clever part – to save some time, I didn’t disconnect the two petal dies; I kept them together and taped red and green paper together. That way, I cut my cutting time in half!! 🙂
The stamps used on the tags are from the Tags, Glorious Tags set from Unity Stamp Company.
We hope you make a tag or two and link it to our challenge. You have until July 11th – two weeks – to link up. You could win a $15 gift certificate from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!

I made a million of these sleds from Create a Critter 2 (and still have many left) so I decided to put them to good use on a couple of Christmas cards. The snowflakes and scallop border are punches.
