12 Tags of 2013 January

Tags of 2012 was a succes,

so Tim Holtz decided to do it

again in 2013.

All info about the 12 tags of 2013

you find here:

http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2013-january/

And this is my contribution for January.

I did not want to copy the tag,

but tried to use same techniques and

elements as shown on  Tim Holtz Blog.

I used the sewing room as a theme

instead of time.

A embossingfolder of button's is used for

background and colored with

ice spruce, rusty hinges and walnut stain.

I stamped the text on the

tailor's dummy and added

a little lace stamp for decoration.

With real buttons and buttons from

grunge board colored with metallic stains.

I did not make a tag, but turned this into a card.

Thanks for looking!

Have a creative day!



Abdication

I think Paulette of Create with TLC

had some inside information,

when she posted this

FREE sentiment on her blog:

http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.nl/2013/01/sunday-freebie-word-art.html

 

Tonight the Queen of the Netherlands

announced her abdication after being

our head of state for 33 years.

On April 30 we will Have King Willem Alexander.

It was a total surprise that

this was happening just now.

The Netherlands is taken by surprise.

 

The picture I googled on the internet

and found by typing Beatrix art.

 

Have a creative day

and 3 cheers for the Queen!

 

TJ Shimmer Glitter Sparkle & Shine BLOG HOP

Welcome to the

Technique Junkies

BLOG HOP

for the new CD

that makes your cards

 

 

You have arrived here from

the wonderful creative  Shelly

and weren't here projects awesome?!!

 

I have three sample for you with two

of the many techniques

that you find on this new cd.

You can check out all these

tutorials here:

http://www.techniquejunkies.com/Shimmer_Glimmer_Sparkle_Shine_Index.pdf

The first card is done in the

Distress Shimmer Resist technique

that you find on the center panel

of this card made with Tim Holtz

Stampers Anonymous stamps.

It is a pity you cannot see all the glitter

 and glimmer on the pictures,

but it is really there!

 For the background I used a

variation on the Antiqued Wallpaper technique

from the June 2010 TJ Newsletter.

Instead of spraying the embossed

and colored paper with water,

I sprayed it with pearl colored glimmer mist.

Here you do see the shiny background.

 

The next card show you

the BLENDED GLIMMER MIST technique.

 These are the colors I used for

spraying the background.

 Here you see the finished background

matted onto black paper.

And this it the card with the pannel

done in the distress shimmer resist

technique.

 

Stamps used:

on the pannel: Stampers Anonymous

background: SU! French Script

 

last sample with the same

BLENDED GLIMMER MIST technique:



 Here you see the background I created

for the last sample card.

I used the cloisonné mini star by Michael Strong.

 Here you see the finished card.

The sentiment is printed with

the computer.

Valentine inspiration from Create with TLC

 

With Valentine around the corner

Create with TLC has some wonderful

digital images and for such low prices.

 

Paulette has asked me to make some

cards to inspire your to use this set:

Love love amore

 

For the first card, I printed

the cuped image on pink paper.

Behind it you see a large heart

cut out with spellbinders.

The background is a piece of scrap paper.

 Inside the card I  used the sentiment

and added a piece of the same scrap paper.

 

 The wings of cupid are covered with

glitter glue and the body with

glossy accent.

 On the second card I made the cupid image

look like a tile. First it is printed on

a piece of white paper and  colored

with a blending tool with distress ink

worn lipstick and fired brick.

 

The background is a piece of scrap paper

stamped with SU! French Script.

 

The number are cut with the cricut.

Ribbon and little sticky pearls

are used to finish the card.

 And the last card is a square card

with the circle sentiments.

 The center sentiment is not on the front

of the card, but a cirtcle is cut out and

you see this sentiment is inside the card.

All circles are colored with  a blender tool

and distress inkpads.

The roses are colored with distress markers.

 



The branches on the front of the card are made

with a die and little sticky gemstone

flowers are added to the branches.

 

Have a creative day!

Valentine Elephants

 

With the beautiful cloisonné Elephants

by Michael Strong, I wanted to make some

Valentine cards.

For the first card I used the Mojo Monday sketch
and you can find out all about it here:

http://mojomonday.blogspot.nl/2013/01/mojo-monday-276.html

My friend Paulette from Create with TLC
send me the sentiment to use with the elephants.
Check out her blog for everyday freebies!

 

 

 The second card is below. Here is used some scrap papers

in combinations with the large elephant and

Michael Strongs small cloisonné heart stamp.

 

 

 The elephant is stamped on a background of distress stains

with vesamark and embossed in silver.

 

Brushed pewter, festive berries and picked rasperies

ink is put on a craftsheet and with ranger tag paper

I swiped it onto the paper and dried it with a heatgun.

After I stamped the elephant and

the heart on this paper, it was cut out with

scissors.

After the paper was gliues to the card, the heart

 and the elephant were added with a piece of foam tape

for some dimention.

 

This is the inside of the card.

Have a creative day!
