A Good Day Flower Shop (Stampin Up) Here’s To A Good Day Card

I woke up this morning and it is such a grey and dreary day. So I figured I needed to bring in some brightness on my own! So I came up with this card.. using Daffodil Delight and the A Good Day and Flower Shop stamp sets and a little bit of string and some bling to finish it off.. this little card sure has made my day brighter.

Alternate Paper Pumpkin February 2018 (Stampin Up) Project Ideas

I received my very first Paper Pumpkin, a Stampin Up monthly subscription kit. (See the unboxing here!)

Before I thought outside of the box, I followed the instructions and made one of each card from this months Paper Pumpkin.. 

 

  

That was fun... but I wanted to see what else I could come up with!

Here’s what I created...

Jar of Love (Stampin Up) For You Card Set

I was looking through the Annual 2017-2018 Stampin Up Catalog, and I saw an adorable card idea on page 28 that used the Jar of Love stamp set, so I had to give it a try! 

I decided to make a set of cards I could give away as a gift. 

When creating this card I would ink up my stamp, stamp once on a piece of scrap paper and then stamp again (without inking my stamp back up) on my card base. Using the same color I would ink up my layering stamp and stamp on top of the first image. That is what creates the “layered” look. While I only used 3 different ink pads to create the flowers, it looks like I used 6!

 



This is definetly a beautiful, fast and easy card to make... as long as you remember to layer!

Dream Tag

I am a member of a Tim Holtz fan group on facebook, a few of us decided to do a tag swap inspired by all things Tim Holtz. Using my distress inks as well as some oxides, stamps, and dies... here's what I came up with...

My little dream tag was inspired by IzzyBee Craft Creations. I think the little tag made a perfect addition to my big tag.

Feminine birthday card

I was so in love with the format and look of the masculine cards I was inspired to make a similar version for my mother. I think it turned out very beautiful and although the same general theme and colors we used it turned out very different.

Vintage Inspired Photo Clip Display

I created this little photo display using a vintage photo I had, a vintage book page, distress ink and embossing powder on a piece of cardstock (that I ultimately mounted on a heavier piece of cardboard)

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - OCTOBER

***UPDATE***

Tim picked my tag as one of the October winners!! How awesome it that!! For winning I was sent a new Christmas stamp set as well as a distress crayon!! So awesome!!!

Hello October 12 Tags of 2016!!! 

So here it is, my take on Tim's "October remix challenge" 

This month Tim did a technique remix and used Patchwork Collage and his Sizzix Monster on his tag... 

Since Halloween is my all time favorite I decided to give it a go.. 

I don't have a Sizzix Monster so I made due with what I have... Tim's Topphatted Skull stamp.. So I cut him out, cut out his eyes and added him to the tag to give it some depth. Added some inked crinkle ribbon and die cut a tattered flower to add a little extra to his hat and there it was. 

I added a little bit of patchwork with Tim's Halloween ephemera and added a nice layer the crazing medium to give a nice crusty look. 

I am totally in LOVE with all of the Tim Holtz Ranger clear rockcandy and the crazing medium!! 

So.. there it is, I hope you enjoyed looking at my tag as much as I enjoyed making it :)

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - AUGUST

Welcoming August in with style is a new Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016 challenge.

Last month I decided to give the Tim Holtz 12 Tags challenge a try, and it was fun so I decided to do it again!! 

So here it is, my take on Tim's "Augusts remix challenge" 

He uses Frameworks to add style and the Brayered Stain technique to add random blots of color for the background.   

Over all I am pretty happy with how this tag came out.... 

I used Chipped Sapphire with the brayer to create a random streaked background and added some distress browns to grunge it up a bit. 

I also used the honeycomb framework cut from grungepaper to add a few focal points to the tag. I painted the honeycomb framework with distress paint before I added them to the tag. I filled in the negative spaces with mirror sheeting as well as rock candy crackle paint or some clear texture paste over pieces of coordinating scrapbook paper.

I die cut some wildflowers on black and white cardstock. Before I added them to the tag I used a distress tool to add some blue ink to the white flower and embossed it with clear embossing powder to add a bit of extra texture. I also embellished the tag with some words cut from an old childrens book I have, a bit of the story that I thought matched perfectly with the look of the mirror tiles on the tag.

So.. there it is, I hope you enjoyed looking at my tag as much as I enjoyed making it :)
