• Stamp the chick image with black ink onto white cardstock.
• Stamping on non-porous white cardstock helps the markers blend easier.

• Color in the edge of the chick with the light ochre marker.  Use the pale yellow marker to blend and fill in the rest of the chick.

• Line up chick die with the stamped image.  (cutting side down) I use a piece of removable tape on my die to hold it in place as I run in through the Crossover II Fabric & Paper Cutting System*.

• Cut apart the Nesting Tag Dies with craft wire cutters*.

Counting the Nesting Tag dies as 6 being the largest and 1 being the smallest…

• Using the largest (#6) Nesting Tag Die, and the 4th largest Nesting Tag Die, center and tape the two dies together to create a tag frame.

Shaker Tag pieces:

• Cut a large (#6) “blue skies” tag from the largest nested tag die.
• Cut a large (#6) green dot tag.  Cut a wavy line die on the bottom of the tag using a wavy line die.  (From the MSD209  Some Bunny Loves You Stamp and Die Set.)
• Adhere bottom of the wavy cut tag onto the blue skies tag.
• Cut a acetate tag from the 5th largest nesting tag die.
• Cut a large purple gingham egg, a floral cracked egg and several small eggs from coordinating scrapbook paper.

• On the back of the tag frame, add a thin line of adhesive around the inside opening of the tag.
• Remove the protective coating from both sides of the acetate and place it on top of the adhesive.
• Cut thin strips from the double-sided foam sheets.  Remove one side of the protective layer from the foam strips and place around the inside edges of the tag.
• Add shaker bits inside tag.
• Remove the second side of the protective layer from the foam strips and adhere to the blue skies layer on the inside of the tag.

• Glue the small floral cracked half egg onto purple gingham egg.
• Add foam to the back of chick and egg and add to front of the card.
• Punch a hole on the top of the tag using the crop-a-dile, add purple and white twine.
• Adhere ribbon bow to top of the tag.
