Tag time

While waiting for Tim Holtz to start

making his 12 tags of Christmas,

I started my own.

This tag is made with the cloisonné circle accent

and sentiment by Michael Strong

and the bauble punch by Stampin'Up!

For the background I used Suede glimmermist

and a tattered angle mask.

Festive Berries  and  Brushed corduroy distress ink.

Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations

mini paper rosette

and tattered banners.

The cloisonné accent is embossed with gold

embossing powder and the tag

is finished of with some ribbons

and a metal wish tag.

Have a creative day!

TSSC 200

 Can you believe it? Sketch #200 over at

Techno  Stamper.

This time when you play you can ecen win a prize,

so give it a try.

It is such an easy and fun sketch, that I made two cards.

 Card # 1 is with Tim Holtz new Christmas stamp.

I stamped it in the two new special winter

distress colors and then embossed it wit

clear embossing powder. When all was

drie I used the snowflace embossing folder.

 I am totally in love with my Stampin Up! owl punch 

and all the things you can make with it. 

Here is my Santa Owl.

 The second card is with the trees of Michael Strong

stamped with a multi colored inkpad. When done

I ran it through the cuttlebug with a snowflake

folder and added some white ink.

Here I used the SU! owl punch again to make a

reindeer out of it holding the sentiment (by Michael Strong).

 

Have a creative day!

More notepads

Just made a few more of these

notepads today.

You find the tutorial {HERE}.

Fot this notepad I used the middle size

tree stamp by Michael Strong

and also the word stamps.

The reindeer is made with the SU!

owl punch and a branch punch.

For this one I used the middle size tree 

metal die by Michael Strong

and also the word stamp.

Here I used some more punches for the

reindeer to make him hold the sentiment.

 Have a creative day!
