Tim Holtz April's tag

This is my take on Tim's tag this month As usual I do not have all the supplies he has to hand, so we all have to make do with what we have. Most months I treat myself to what he uses in the tag, but, with just coming back off our holiday, and spending far too much in Disney, I had to make do. Overall I think I did a good job.

I used the Sizzix Moroccan card front die, I tried to cut the Grungeboard with it, but it wasn't working out, so just used some thin chipboard with distress inks on it. I used the die to cut out the mirror, which was a very thin sheet mirror-card, I had some glitter card, including that too. The cork would have been too thick to used with this thin die. I stamped the background as did not have his tissue tape. I also used my Martha Stewart pine punch, and the Stampin' Up flower die my friend had. So having her cut a few for me, this allowed me to play around with it. I added the little owl charm at the bottom, as I though he was cute. I really love how it turned out.

TimsMarch Tag

I have finished Tims March tag

 
I decided to make two tags to show the different techniques you can get, but I must say that I like the first one much better. I used Tim's stamp set that I purchased as I love it and I thought I can get some use from it for making my Easter cards. I just used some wool that I had for the bottom edge. Also, I made my own bookplate as I did not have Tim's one. I did not have the tape that Tim used either, so I stamped onto some tissue paper cut it up into strip and glued it on , I really like how it turned out. March is done, onto Aprils!

Happy crafting!

Tim Holtz February Tag


Hi, I finished February tag from Tim Holtz. I just love hearts I have loads of heart items dotted around my house. I was so excited about this tag but I didn't have the stencils I wanted, having to order them before I could start it, I also didn't have the stamp he used but I used some of his older ones. Another thing I didn't like or have was the strip along the bottom, so added a little bit of vintage flower lace instead to make it a bit more girly. Either way I am very happy with the way it turned out. I have never tried the chalk technique but I think I like it.

Happy crafting!
