Happy Birthday, Tim Holtz!

 

Here is my card to wish

 Tim Holtz

 a wonderful

and "magical" birthday!

 

To celebrate this there is a challenge at

Studio L3 for

Grungy Monday 31 to make something

for Tim Holtz's birthday.

On my table where some leftover pieces
and did not want to dump them,
so I made this card with it:

 

 

Have a creative day!

Here is my contribution for  the challenge 

over at Grungy Monday.

We had to use a technique from the 12 tags

of Christmas by Tim Holtz of 2007, Day 3.

You can find all about it HERE.

And there is a prize to win from 

Simon Says Stamp

I wanted to make a St. Patrick's Day tag

with a clover background, so I searched if there

was a clover embossing folder, but no.

So I had to make my own. What do you need:

a punch ( this time a clover)

glue stick

left over paper

card board

 Punch out a lot of clovers. Cut a piece of card board

card size (4,5 x 5,5 inch) and arrange the clovers

how you want them. It is best to layer two or three

on top of each other and glue on card board.

Use them in your embossing machine.

I use it in the cuttlebug with a B plate, double embossing foam and

another B plate to have good result.

 I was having such a good time making the tag,

that I made two out of the plaided paper I had made.

The subway art I used on the first tag is a freebie

you can find HERE and the sentiment on the second

tag is by Create with TLC.

Have a creative day!

Challenges

At this moment, there are so many challenges

going on, that I really like that I made this card and tag for.

First I took up the new challange at

the Tim Holtz blog:

You can read all about it HERE.

I also made this for the challenge at

Studio L3: Grungy Monday 36

were one is asked to make 

a Valentine themed piece using

Tim Hotlz products and or technique

to be able to win a prize

at www.SimonSaysStamp.com

So here we go: this tag was totally inspired

by the tag on Tim's Blog, but because I had

chocolate in mind for my man on Valentine

I made a tag and card in chocolate colors.

The heart is covered with a lot of glossy accent

to look like a real chocolate heart.

I made this tag of kraft-core paper

and embosed it and sanded it to reaveal the letters.

The card to go with the chocolates is also

inspired by Tim's tag. The bacground is done like shown on Tim's blog, but

instead of cupid I added some love birds here.

The cage and the birds are done the same as

cupid, only I chose frayed burlap distress ink

and vintage photo stickles on top.

Because I did not have the honeycomb paper

I cut out 4 hearts and glued them in a 3d way together to fit on the

heart with the tissuepaper.

Glossy accent and silver glitter is added to the heart.

The sentiment and the tags are by Create with TLC.

Hope you all had a fantastic V-day!

Have a creative day!

Love ATC for GM 35

These ATC are my contrubution for

Grungy Monday 35:
A Hotz-ian ATC

meaning: use at least one Tim Holtz product

or technique that you can find on T!im's

website: http://www.timholtz.com/

I used the new cupid die and painted them with

rock candy distress crackle paint.

When it was dry I brushed some victorian velvet

distress inkt on top. The hearts are also done

with the same crackle paint..

For the background I used Kraft core paper

and a Tim Holtz atc sunray embossing folder.

I love using the tickets and on one i stamped part 

of a text from "Good Thoughts"cling stamps.

Buttons with wax thread and glitter

fibre finish of these atc's.

Have a creative day!

Valentine tag

 

On Studio L3 Grungy Monday Challenge 32

Linda is clebrating the 12 tags of Tim Holtz,

his techniques and his products.

The question is which of the technique is your

favourite and do something with it.

Well mine was the metal tag which is

tag 6 and you can read all about the

technique here on Tim's Blog:

Tag 6 by Tim Holtz

I used this technique to make a Valentine tag.

I know I am late in posting for the challenge, 

but I want to share the result with you anyway.

As you can see I used the Gadget gear die,

the heart  and the crown die for this tag.

The embossing folder is a new one I just got

by an unknown brand.

The tag stamp is from the set Odds and Ends.

At the bottom of the tag, I used the

Vintage Lace die strip.Cut out a piece in silver

paper and used silver wire and red beads

to fasten the strip.

Have a creative day!

Happy Birthday, Tim!

Tomorrow is thebirthday of Tim Holtz.

Happy birthday!

To celebrate this there is a challenge at

Studio L3 for 

Grungy Monday  31 to make something

for Tim Holtz's birthday.

I just couldn't make a birthday card,

it had to be something special, because Tim is so special

with all his inspiration.

I came up with the idea to make him 

and Mario an nice cupcake to celebrate.

I found these nice free cupcake wrappers

online (which you can safe with a right

mouse click to your own computer).

It took me two times printing to find the

right size that I wanted to use.

I printed the wrappers on the back of  a piece of Kreaft Resist paper

and cut it out with scissors. I used a pearl acryl dabber to

color the paper and stamped on it with stazon and a stamp from

the Purely random stamp set.

 I used all the sizes of the rosettes.

Also out of Kraft Resist paper and added some vtage photo

distress ink and stain. Than I glues them together with my hot glue gun.

 Tim is done with the Vintage letters and glued with glossy

accent on a piece of wire. The man stamp is also from the Purely Random

stampset. Stamped on kraft paper and colored with pencil.

 The ticked is from the Odds and ends stamp set.

The sentiment is from a clear set from my stash.

 

Here you see theother cupcake.This time I added

a few sticky pearls in the stamped motive.

 

On top a ruggled flower is glued with a little hot glue.

Thank you for looking
and have a festive day!
