Tim Holtz February tag challenge

Hi everyone!

This is my tag for the Tim Holtz 12 tags challenge. I didn't have all the materials he used so I improvised.

 I used paper from Tim's Wallflower stack and scraps from my stash to create the collage.
I cut 2 hearts from a scrap of fabric and glued them together. I used "festive berries " re-inker to add color to the heart and the arrow is an ideology sticker. I glued the heart to a resin frame that I colored with Distress paints.
I was feeling lazy so instead of sewing I used a stamp to create the stitching around the tag.
I created the corner piece by cutting a metal jewelry finding I had in my stash and I colored it with alcohol ink. I also colored the small heart brad on the top corner of the tag and the small heart that hangs from the metal key.
I found the hearts lace in my stash and it was a pale blue color , so I used my inks to distress it a bit and add it to the tag.

Flowery mini album

Hello!

Today I' sharing some pictures of a mini I made for my brothers' wife.
She loves lace and flowers and I tried to make the mini as girly as possible. I used Spellbinder and Sizzix dies to make the frames and tags and lots of pearl trim.
She is not a scrapbooker so it is mainly for pictures and not very interactive.
Let me know what you think and have a great day.

 

All the butterflies in the album were cut out and glued to the page by adding glue only to the center part. This leaves the wings free to fold up and create dimension.

 

The rectangular frames have removable tags.

 

 

The frames have removable tags. The butterfly on the right is glued onto wire to make it as if she was flying.

 

 

These tags are also removable and the frames have acetate.

 

 

 

This was my first time making a slider and it was quite fun.

 

 

Thank You Tag

Hello,  Today I'm back with a cute tag.

I used the Stampendous Regal Bird stack art kits.

I began by applying gesso to all the chipboard pieces then painting them.
Next I stamped and embossed  the backgrounds. I added glitter and mica to the crown.
You can't tell from the picture but I added some glitter to the embossing powder I used.
I added flocking to the bird's body and I used a stamp and embossed his small wing.
I used liquid pearls for his eye.
After assembling the pieces, I embellished with some leaf ribbon and I created a small spray using tiny flower beads on a wire. I added more Liquid Pearls to the centers of the flowers to cover the wire.
I painted the seam binding for the bow with 2 colors of distress paint.

These are the materials used:

Stampendous Fran's Stack Art Kraftboard kit - Regal Bird
Stack Art Stamp Kit - Regal Bird
Stampendous Elements Kit Fusion
Tim Holtz  Distress paint - Crushed olive
Seam binding


Enjoy.

Gate Fold Card

Hello;

Today I'm sharing a gatefold  card I made for my brother's birthday. I used papers from the G45 By the Sea collection.

 

 

I am entering this card in the Simon Says Transport It Wednesday Challenge.

Bloom Girl Cards

Hello,

Today I'm sharing my collection of Bloom Girls.
I got the inspiration for these cards from Cari Fennell on Live with Prima. This is such an easy way to make cards and a great way to use these large stamps.
I started by stamping my Bloom girls on white cardstock and coloring them with my Prismacolor pencils. Next, I used color cardstock to create a 5x7 card. I cut each girl 1/4 inch smaller than the card and adhered it to the front of the card and I was done.

 

You could also make these cards smaller or embellish them. I kept mine simple.

Gelatos & Bloom Girl Tag

Hello;


It is late, I can't sleep so I decided to craft.

I just finished this tag and wanted to share.
I created the background with Gelatos then used a Prima Stencil to add the details.  It was super easy and fast. Next I stamped my Bloom Girl on cardstock, used my color pencils then added her to the tag.
The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz stamp set.

Enjoy.

 

Bloom Girl Tee

Hi!

I bought this blouse recently and I decided to use one of my new Bloom Girl stencils to embellish it.
I used fabric paints and tried not to use very bright colors. I'm not a teenager anymore, but the temperature here is sometimes so crazy that this is the proper attire.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
