Make Everyday Count...

Hi everyone, I'm so glad you stopped by today!   The release date for the New Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 2 dies is here and I'm super excited to share my Creativation 2019 projects with you!  If you didn't catch it, Tim shows the entire New Chapter 2 release on a Facebook live.  You can watch it here on his blog. There's so many amazing projects from several designers that he shares, you won't want to miss all the wonderful inspiration.  I am super happy to see Tim looking so great and back doing what he loves!  Today I'm sharing a Tim Holtz Etcetera Tag, I made for the Tim Holtz Sizzix booth.

Let me walk you thru how I put it together. To start with, I pulled some small patterned paper from the memorandum paper stash collection. I trimmed down the pattern papers.  Then attached paper pieces overlapping some areas, to a small etcetera tag using collage medium.

Then I die cut the phrase "make every day count" using the Society Bigz XL alphabet and the Adorned Thinlits intricate scrolls from mixed media heavystock. The mini detailed butterflies were diecut using more of the memorandum paper stash. You know I was actually thinking, even though this alphabet is on a larger scale... I'm going to use it on some statement cards for various occasions. I'll let you know how it goes (wink).  I just love that font...

I arranged the wording and scrolls to my liking and glued in place using more collage medium and then went over the entire tag with another layer of collage medium to seal the surface and allow the distressed crayons to move much easier. I trimmed any paper pieces hanging off the edges.  I chose several neutral colors of distressed crayons. I smeared the various colors of crayon around the tag and moved the color into nooks and crannies with my fingers. Anything that I wanted to lift the excess distressed crayon from, I just used a dry towel on.

I broke the ruler and distressed it using some walnut stain distress ink.  Then attached the mini detailed butterflies and ruler with you guessed it more collage medium, I tell you that stuff is the best glue I use on everything! The tag received a small splattering of white (watered down) gesso.

To finish it off I dyed some crinkle ribbon with a few different blue hues of distress spray stain dried well and tied into a bow.

I hope you liked todays project.  Thanks so much for the visit.  I really appreciate it, have a wonderful day!  xx

Blessed Are The Curious...

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'm back today, sharing another fun card I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Booth at Creativation 2018.  For this card I used the bicycling trio from Tim Holtz "Theories" stamp set as my focal point.

To start I applied a thin layer of gesso to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheet of distress mixed media cardstock.  After dried I used several of the mini layering stencils from set 33 & 34, in combination with some bright colors of distress paints to create a fun mixed media background.

I adhered some vintage book paper to a strip of distress mixed media cardstock, then applied a wash of gesso.  I tied it off with a little Tim Holtz black craft thread.

I just love the scribble style to this stamp set, I will definitely be incorporating it into my art journal!  I stamped the bicycle image and phrase onto the smooth side of distress watercolor cardstock, using black soot archival ink.  I trimmed all paper pieces down to fit kraft A2 cardfront.  I layered with black classic kraft cardstock.

To finish it off I attached idea-ology star brads and an arrow wrapped with a little more black craft thread...after I had distressed them with a little mushroom alcohol ink.

 

I hope you give it a try.  You can find the supplies I've used via the links below.  If you have any questions please let me know I love your kind comments, I truly appreciate each and everyone of them!  I'll be back soon to show you another project from Creativation 2018.

12 Tags of 2016 {My January Version}

Hello friends!  Today I'd like to share my January version of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2016.  Tim Holtz has a wonderful tutorial on his blog with step-by-step instructions on how to create this fun technique here.  Love how Tim did an awesome remix of his Chalkboard and Industrious Metal techniques!  Since Valentine's Day is so close, I went with a "love" theme.

I went with a big #10 manila tag, so my typewriter would fit.  The top portion of the tag embossed beautifully, but the bottom portion was a little trickier.  Because I used a #10 tag, it's so large I can't cut a slit in the top of my embossing folder to run the tag thru the top, for bottom embossing.

 In order for me to have the alphabet in the upright position, I embossed a sheet of the foil with the backing still in place (not yet attached to the tag).

 Then I peeled the backing off of the foil and adhered it to the bottom of the tag.

 I gave it a flip so you can see the bottom part was not embossed.  A little trickery, but in the end you can't tell the difference.

 Love this Blueprint Typewriter stamp from Stampers Anonymous, it was perfect for my theme!  I was out of smooth black card stock or a black tag, so I improvised.  I took a piece of scrap Manila card stock and painted it with Ranger Black Tie paint...worked out great!

 I incorporated a few of the new idea-ology pieces.  I just had to give all my metal the grunge treatment with Mushroom Alcohol Ink.

 "Love" is die cut from the Celebration's Word Blocks die set...

 and the teeny tiny heart are die cut from the Shape Strips, both using Kraft Core card stock.
