Outside my Comfort Zone! Tim Holtz inspired Tag

2011-12-04T17:30:00.001-06:00

My Tag I created to go with the Knitted Gift I made
Click photo to enlarge detail.

Totally out of my comfort zone but I love the Tag

I LOVE the Tattered Pinecone die!

I cut out the Tattered Pinecone die 3 times and 1 Pine Tree

Using Distress Crackle Paint Clear Rock Candy apply a generous amount and let dry.


I used Faded Jeans, Dusty Concord and Picket Fence Distress Stains

I dabbed my colors... spritzed my Tag & Flowers with water & Swirled thru the colors

This is what it looked like after I was done Swirling thru the colors

I then Spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mist Perfect Pearls color

I cut SnowFlurries Border out of a Spellbinders Package and dabbed with Pearl Dabber

I inked my stamp with Dusty Concord Distress Stain and Stamped next to my Flurries border

I colored my boughs, pine tree and white Ribbon with Shabby Shutters Stain

After that dried I added Picket Fence Stain ontop LOVE THIS!

Then I assembled my pine cones (can make roses also out of this die)

Then I colored more white ribbon with Dusty Concord and assembled my Tag


I hope you love my Tag as much as I loved creating it

House Mouse, Copics, Glue Glider, Core'dinations Easel Card

2010-06-11T15:01:00.010-05:00

I used Basic Grey, House Mouse Design Of the Month July, Copics, Glue Glider Pro Kaiser Craft Rhinestones , Coredinations Core Armour, Tim Holtz Sanding Grip & Martha Stewart Daisy Corner Punch to create my first easel card.

I cut my Core'dinations Cardstock and sanded with the Tim Holtz Sanding Grip and punched with the MS daisy edge punch.

Colored my House Mouse Stamps with Copics and used a piece of sponge to dab Memento Rich Cocoa around the edges

Use the Martha Stewart Daisy Punch around the Page corner punch and put together with my Glue Glider Pro

This is my finished easel card!

TIM HOLTZ, KEVIN AND CINDY

2010-05-25T09:37:00.000-05:00

We spent a private day with just 18 of us and Tim Holtz

He is so AMAZING!

We learned so much we will teach and share with you!

Alcohol Ink Resist on Metal with Tim Holtz Texture Fades

2010-05-12T11:42:00.009-05:00

Products Used:

Tim Holtz Texture Fades Swirls

Craft Metal

Ink Applicator Tool

Alcohol Inks

Tim Holtz Tonic Scissors (LOVE THESE)

Ranger Heat It Embossing Gun

Ranger Archival Ink Jet Black

Emboss using Craft Metal in your desired Tim Holtz Texture Fades

I used Meadow & Purple Twilight Alcohol inks

Using the Alcohol Ink Applicator tool and a piece of felt

insert the nib of the alchol ink into the felt and squeeze different

colors on different areas of the felt.

Stamped well inked tool over your embossed metal surface.

You may add or layer additional colors or use lots and blow gently

for a mottled effect. Use Heat it Tool to dry ink.

This is what it looks like with the two colors I used

The final step in Alcohol Resist is taking the

Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black swipe pad across the raised areas.

This removes the alcohol ink and returns the raised parts to silver.

NOTE: This ONLY works with the Archival Ink.

You may need to gently wipe the raised surfaces with a cloth.

The results are stunning and the colors are so bright! I love

the New Texture Fades because they create a high detailed embossed

image into paper or metal.

Burnished Velvet, House Mouse, Copics

2010-03-10T14:53:00.012-06:00

I created this adorable card with the New House Mouse Flower Bed Stamp, Copics, Doily Lace deep edge Marth Stewart Punch, & Burnished Velvet Technique using Ritz Glitter & Be Creative Tape

Using the Doily Lace Martha Punch, I punched a Mask from the Be Creative Tape using the cover that you peel off to expose the sticky. (Be Careful NOT to touch any of the sticky part of the tape)

I used the 1 1/2" Tape. I also cut a very thin strip for a border

I laid my Doily Lace mask and the thin strip back on the sticky part of the tape. Again make sure NOT to touch the tape.... then carefully (I use tweezers) make sure your mask is stuck down well so no glitter can seep under your mask.

Sprinkle your Ritz Glitter then brayer over it to make sure its stuck down well.

When you remove your mask it exposes the other area of sticky. It shows your pattern for your 2nd color. Note: Make sure to do your darkest colors first always with this technique

I added my 2nd color of Moss Green. I removed my single line strip and use the Cool Highlight color which is a beautiful white for the strip The Photo does not do this justice. Ritz is a beautiful micro fine glitter and the Burnished Velvet is gorgeous with three colors.

These are the copic colors I used for the House Mouse coloring

I used the rectangle scalloped Nestabilities and Eclipse Tape to tape down before running thru the Cuttlebug. This way I get my image cut in the center perfectly.

I did not have the perfect matching ribbon so I used white ribbon and my YG67 and colored my own.

I used the Bow Easy to make my bow.

Then using my Copics I colored the Making Memories Deco Pins

After I colored them with my Copics

Post It Purse, Sizzix, Smooch, Basic Grey Magnets

2010-02-21T16:48:00.010-06:00

I created this with Sizzix Scoreboard Die Memo Holder

Using my Big Shot Express
Mat Board or Chip Board works perfectly

After cutting both the Chipboard
and paper, I used my Zyron to adhere it together.
Yes, the cute little flowers are part of the die.

I stacked the flowers together then found a cute little
brad for the center. My favorite storage for little
embellishments is Scraponizers Snap lock minis

Using Smooch Cherry Chocolate I put a dot of
purple in the center of the brad in the flower
then on the memo holder in the center of the flowers.

I finished it off using Basic Grey
Self Adhesive Magnetic snaps
I love them!
It took me less and 30 minutes to
complete this project!

Design Team Project

2009-10-18T20:56:00.007-05:00

I used Outlines, Swarovski Crystals, Spellbinders Fleur De Lis,

Classic/Scallop Circles, Martha Stewart Scalloped Combo 3 Dot punches, Coredinations papers and Scentiments Stamp Set.

All the Products I used
I punched the corners first then used the edger punch
I stamped in Memento Lady Bug Outlines Shiva Jewel
and then outlined in with Copic Spica pen in Red

I used my Quickutz Quickstick to pick up the jewels

and the Sakura Quickie glue pen to adhere them

Fast and Easy to do

I cut Fleur De Lis Spellbinders for my background

I really think it sets off the Shiva Ornament center.

The Swarovski Chrystals really set it off.

ScorPal, Spellbinders, Core'dinations, Outlines, Zing

2009-10-07T17:57:00.014-05:00

I made this card as a gift for my friend Kim Bush

in honor of her courage and battle with breast cancer.

The inside pops open and says Courage, Hope & Faith

I Adhered 21 3 x 1.5 inch rectangles see below

and 21 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 inch squares

with letters cut from Cricut Storybook Cartridge

The Card Opened
From the Top
Products used...ScorPal, Coredinations Paper, Spellbinders
Fancy Tags, Fleur De Lis Pendants, Classic Circles, Squares
and Scalloped rectangle, Zing Emboss Powder, Outlines Stamp,
Kaiser Craft Rhinestones, Ribbon and stamps
First you take a piece of paper12 x 5.5 and score with
the ScorPal every 3/4 inch along length

then accordian fold at scores. Take two 8.5 x 5.5 pieces of
Core'dinations cardstock score in half forming two 4 1/4 x 5.5 panels
Use ScorTape to adhere one accordian fold into the end of
each panel. (LOVE THAT TAPE) I used my Glue glider pro for the rest
What it will look like

Cut and sand Core'dinations Cardstock with Fleur Del Lis

Using Nestabilities scalloped rectangle size 3 x 1.5 inch

cut 21 rectangles

The Use Squares and cut 21 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" squares

I sponged pink on the edges and cut my letters

from Storybook and adhered

Stamp Outlines D890 and outline with Copic Spica

Clear

Adhere Rhinestones to stamped image

Using Cricut I cut 3 images out of stickey 3M laminating material

This allows me peel off the top and reveal the stickey

surface to sprinkle ZING GLITTER PINK on and heat emboss

Sprinkle on Zing & heat emboss for raised glitter look

Image after embossed

Card Folded and tie the ribbon!

Tapestry Calendar, Copics, Spellbinders & JustRite

2009-08-30T19:21:00.004-05:00

My September Tapestry Calendar Pages

I Created my Calendar pages with

the Tapestry Calendar which includes

one page of stickers. I also used their

additional 3D Embelleshment August/September,

JustRite, Copics, Spellbinders, Cuttlebug, Tim Holtz Rock Candy

Coredinations, Flower Soft & Happy Fall Stamp Set.
These are the Copics colors I used

The Rectangle JustRite allows for two side by side

Autumn Blessing Centers

I discovered this while playing today and I love the results!

I stamped in Memento Black, punched with

Martha Stewart Leaves Border Punch,

taped it down using Eclipse tape then cut it

out with Spellbinders Labels 8 largest die

I then used the Larges Maple Leaf from Spellbinders

& embossed with the Autumn Cuttlebug folder

This was my final product after Copics, I did use

the Copic clear spica for the berries and around the rim

of Enjoy the Days of Autumn for effect.

Then I stamped the leaves from my Happy Fall Stamp Set

& used FlowerSoft glue and Autumn on the leaves

Autumn FlowerSoft leaves....so pretty

I added some Rock Candy NEW Tim Holtz Distress SticklesLet it dry and the effect is soooooo Awesome!

I LOVE ROCK CANDY!

2009-02-18T07:04:00.005-06:00

I Love using Flower Soft (its tiny flowers you attach with a PVA glue)

I am so tired of snow I decided to do a spring card I just wished I would have put HOPPY SPRING instead. I also used Copic Sketch markers and Dew Drops for the center of the Dark Purple flowers.

Outlines, Petaloo, Core'dinations, Shimmer it, Stickles

2009-01-19T19:51:00.007-06:00

I Love this card! I used 4 different outlines stamps. I embelleshed and layered them with stickles, then painted with Shimmery Shimmer It, Embossed the red and pink with 2 different Cuttlebug folders and cut out the words with the Love Language Cuttlebug Card Combo kit.

I added the Petaloo Jeweled paper florettes with pop dots to really accent the card...Its hard to see here but the Shimmery Shimmer It really makes the card shimmer and I love bling!

Click on the photo to enlarge and see the detail and the shimmer.

Outlines, Petaloo, Spellbinders,Cuttlebug

2009-01-12T12:12:00.004-06:00

I used Bazzill Bling, Spellbinders Decorative Photo Corners, Petaloo Glittered Daisy Layers, Outlines I Love You stamp, Cuttlebug Dvine Swirls Embossing Folder, Red Stickles, and Card Scents, Sweet Valentine, to make it smell YUMMY

To get this look simply ink the raised part of the embossing folder and then run thru the cuttlebug it embosses and puts the color in at the same time!

All The Products that were used to create my card.

Spellbinders, Core'dinations, Glimmer Mist, Stickles

2009-01-04T19:14:00.007-06:00

I used the Snowflake Wonders Die, Core'dinations papers, Cuddlebug snowflake emobossing folder, Waterfall Stickles, Label Trios & Standard Tag Nestabilities, Hydrangea Glimmer Mist
and Bo Bunny Winter Brads to complete this project.....It is very hard to see in the photo but the
Glimmer Mist gives it a wintery, shimmery effect.

I first embossed a piece of Core'dinations paper and sanded it to expose the snowflakes

from the Cuttlebug embossing folder. I cut the largest oval from the Labels Trios from

Spellbinders next

Then I cut one tag from the largest and one from the medium sized Standard Tag Nestabilities and embossed them both in the Cuttlebug.

Then I used the NEW Glimmer Mist Spring 2009 Hydrangea and sprayed the tag and also the card front.

Its hard to see but the glimmer mist gives the tag a shimmery effect.

It is one of my favorite products to work with :)

Then I cut and embossed the Snowflake Wonder die from Spellbinders from two different Core'dinations colors and used the Bo Bunny Winter Brads and stacked them to make the snowflakes on the front of my card. I finished off the Card by using the Waterfall Stickles

for all the centers of the snowflakes and as accents on the cut snowflakes.

Bubbles Punch, Core'dinations, Cuttlebug, Icicle Sticles, Petaloo Jolly Christmas florettes

Take the Two Largest Nestabilities Standard Circles Large. Here is just a photo of most of what I used to create the 4 cards!

Use the largest Circle for the Basketweave, Victorian Lace and Graceful Heart Punches

Cut a Template and as many circles out that you want to punch

Use the next to the largest Circle for the Bubbles Punch and also make

one template and as many as you wish to punch

To Make your template for both circles simply fold in half one way fold in half the other way then into quarters so you have 8 equal pie shapes. I just used printer paper for mine.

Then hold your template in place with one hand on top of your cardstock and fold and copy all your lines without moving your template. Sounds difficult but its very simple

Then you have your template and your cirle....I write on my template which Punches work with it. It takes time to figure this out so I have done it for you on these 4 punches.

Then line up your punch between the lines you just drew and punch. Continue around the circle until the center falls out.

Nestabilities/Core'dinations Gate Fold Card Tutorial

2008-07-09T20:19:00.008-05:00

I want to teach you how to create Gate Fold cards. I touched on this in an earlier posting but I got a lot of requests to write the instructions. These card outsides are made using the Largest Petite Circle and Largest Square Nestabilities

These are the supplies I used.
I first cut my paper for both cards at 7 7/8 by 4.5 and scored at 1 15/16 from each side to create the gate. The paper will be smaller than your die. I folded both flaps in, making sure that they met in the center, and making sure that the die edges extended slightly past the cardstock on both sides. You need to keep a small area on both sides uncut so that you have hinges when the card is opened creating the gate
I then taped the outside edge of the die to my card to keep from slipping. You can also use the magnetic mat. I would have but I can't keep them in stock so I don't own one myself :(

This is what they look like after cutting.
YES this is the NEW SCOR PAL MAT that fits inside the score pal creating a work surface, self healing cutting mat. I love working on this surface. THIS is a PREORDER on my site for $15.00.

Then I used the plain Circles and Squares to create my layer. I embossed them both.
adhere one side then using a paper cutter or trimmer carefully cut to match up perfectly.

Then I added matching ribbon. I used the fiskars leave it to weaver first but in order to be able to open the card it would not work. I LOVE that punch

Then I ran coordinating CORE'DINATIONS cardstock thru the SWISS DOTS cuttlebug folder
Repeat the same step as above and adhere one side then carefully run thru paper trimmer to line up.
Then I used the Dragonfly and Butterfly from FLYING BEAUTIES SPELLBINDERS DIES. I embossed them as well
I used TIM HOLTZ NEW sanding block to expose the CORE'DINATIONS core color
I used GLOSSY ACCENTS to adhere one side of the butterfly and the dragonfly
and used pop dots for dimension.

Spellbinders & Core'dinations card

2008-06-25T16:53:00.004-05:00

I Used Black Magic Hocus Pocus & Spellbinders Butterfly Reflections Die

NOTE: The Pink butterflies are actually inside the card
on a piece of sanded Black Magic but I
don't have a pic of that to post :(
I will take one and add later :)

I lightly sanded the Black Magic, Used Vintage Retro Mod Squad & So Mod Papers for my card
I inked two of the buttons black and lightly sanded.

Cuttlebug,Core'dinations and Nestabilities Card

2008-05-16T19:41:00.003-05:00

I made this today for Kevin's Birthday...the Card is very simple to do
and I loved using the cuttlebug, nestabilities and Core'dinations cardstock!
Here are the instructions......

Make an 11 x 11 inch square then fold in half. Score at 5 1/2" & 3" from both ends
then turn and score once at the top at 3 1/2 inches. Cut out the corners where your score lines meet and fold all your score lines
Fold the end scores into squares and glue the front to the back of the card
EXCEPT YOUR FRONT FLAP Square as your flap has to tuck into it

Put Core'dinations thru the Cuttlebug hearts embossing folder then lighty sand
Sanding the Core'dinations exposes the light blue core color in the cardstock. I used the Nostalgia pack to complete this card the two blues and green are from that pack...

Using the Heart Nestabilities and Core'dinations then lightly sanding to expose the inside core color
