Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013-June

Above is Tim's tag for June.  Love the watercoloring technique with the distress pens. 

Here is my tag.  I didn't have Tim's dragonfly stamp so I used my InkaDinkaDoo stamp.  This stamp is so cool with the 3 bird designs inside of it. The rest of the stamps are Tim's except for the clock hands going down the left side of the tag.    Next time I will use less paint on the tag and more ink and stain.  My china blue paint kind of took over and it was watered down.  Well live and learn.  I do like the blue color though.  Looking forward to the July tag!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013-March

Hi Everyone and Happy Easter!  Wow it is a nice day today and in the 50's.  No flowers in my garden for Easter which is a first.  No Daffodils or Hyacinths yet. It has been too cold I guess.  But the Easter bunny has been to my house and left lots of chocolate and of course peeps!  I also found a few crafting supplies in my easter basket.  Yeah! 

Onto the tag.  Here is Tim's Tag:

Here is my tag:

I had all of the supplies except the stamp, the grass and banner die cuts.  I used an easter stamp I had.  For the grass I used my Cricut and Paper Doll Dress up cartridge.  For the banner I used my Cricut again and used the cartridge Artiste.  I did not have the distress paint either so I used Americana acrylic paints.  I enjoyed painting the metal flowers.  I will definately paint metal again on other projects. 

I made a tag for my Mom since she is crazy for Tim Holtz!  I put Mom's tag on her Easter goodie bag below.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter!
 

Vintage Valentine Card

Hi everyone.  Four posts in one day-a record for me.  I am glad that I finally have items to post and time to make them.  I made this card for my DH for Valentine's Day.  I used kraft cardstock and three different patterns of valentine paper from Reminisce.  I used a red vintage heart doily, cut out and  layered two hearts at 2.5 inches from the cricut cartridge-Victorian Romance.  I just love this cartridge and the victorian images it contains.  I used my cuttlebug and the Tim Holtz Valentine Backgrounds and Borders embossing folder with TH kraft core cardstock.  I stamped the Be Mine, Valentine stamp from Inkadinkado in plum Ranger Archival ink and adhered with pop dots.  I had this stamp for several months and had not used it yet.  I was waiting for Valentine's Day of course.  I added some bling to my card and I was finished.  Here is the card.  I am going to enter this in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge-The Stamp You Love (But don't use).  Thanks for stopping by.

   

Tim Holtz inspired Tag for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone.  Welcome to my blog.  Over the last week I worked on this tag that was inspired by Tim Holtz's blog from Valentine's day.  He actually made a card but I turned it into a tag.  I had most of the items already so here it is.  I hope you like it.

Tim Holtz-12 Tags of 2013-February

Hi again!  I am uploading my February tag to the Tim Holtz site for February.  I finally got my queen of hearts stamp on Saturday and could not wait to use it.  Although I did forget to order cash keys on-line so I had to use my cricut-Tags, Bags and Boxes cartridge and cut out an oval at 1.50 inches.  I also did not have the new embossed TH paper so I used my cuttlebug and the TH valentine folder to make the embossed black cardstock at the bottom of the tag.  For the embossed hearts, I used my black TH paper and a studio g mini heart stamp and added kraft paper behind it to resemble Tim's tag.  This was a fun tag to make.  Thanks for stopping by.

  

Tim Holtz-12 Tags 0f 2013-January

Hi everyone.  It has certainly been awhile.  Been working a lot of the last few months and not much time to craft!  Better late than never but here is my January tag.  I did not have the time pieces enbossing folder so I used a Darice Steampunk gears folder isntead.  I did not have the metallic stain for the gears so I used metallic paint instead.  I do like how the colors turned out on this tag.  I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by. In case you are wondering, I always make an extra tag for my Mom who is absolutely crazy for Tim Holtz.
