Shaker tag for gift of blu-rays

This is a fun themed gift tag for some blu-ray discs, using the Tim Holtz Retro TV die.

First tag, using the purchased dome:  I cut the steel rule die using a variety of paper in dark shiny silver, gray, brown, and black.  Next, I assembled the pieces of the TV.  I stamped on the “screen” and built a shaker using the matching Sizzix shaker dome.  I placed all of the pieces on a custom tag 4 1/4” wide by 6” tall.

Second tag, building my own:  I cut the steel rule die 19 times in brown cardstock.  I stacked 16 copies of the die, holding back three.  I used two to build the back, sandwiching the stamped message and image between them.  I used one to build the front, attaching a clear piece to make the screen.  I used Foundry Wax to make the legs golden and partial embossing to make the antennae silver.  I filled the well with shaker elements before attaching the top layer.

The sequins and other shaker elements are stored in 4 ounce Ikea spice shakers.
