TH 12 Tags: April

 

Today my envelop from the

Vagabond promotion on the

Sizzix Blog arrived.

Thank you so much.

You want to know where my Vagabond is?

I am # 215.

Today I had my vagabond out

to use my bird cage die for

the April tag of Tim Holtz

12 tags of 2012.

 Here is my version of the April tag.

It took some thinking of what to do without the

bird on the branch die.

But i do like the April Shower idea, so I got the

ubrella man stamp out.

 The bird is from the birdcage die and colored with 

distress ink. The crown is out of metal with the little

crown die (one of the little shape dies).

 The umbrella man is stamped in archival black on

kraft paper and covered with glossy accent. 

The text is printed on kraft paper with the

computer and colored with distress ink.

I love the use of the embossing folder and the 

mirrored stamp. It gives the background such a great look.

Thanks Tim for another great tutorial.

Have a creative day!

Birthday Girls

 Needed some very little girl's birthday cards.

So here are some very cute ones.

The little princes is a digital stamp by Bugaboo

and the subway art is a FREEBIE by Create with TLC

The little punched out flowers i had left over from my Sunday post.

The number stamp embossed in pink is from

the punch&spell  numbers by Michael Strong.

 This one is with the same princess and I made her skirt

3d and added pink glittery stickles and gemstones on her crown.

The pink embossed hearts are also by Michael Strong.

Have a creative day!

Happy Birthday Paulette

 Surprise!!!

Happy Birthday Paulette!

This is a blog hop for you

from all of us from the Design Team of

Create with TLC

We all made you a birthday 

card with a wonderful image from you.

 Want to know how I did this?

I started with saving (right mouse click) this wonderful

image to my computer.

It was here for 24 hours (now you can buy it in

the Create with TLC digi shop HERE)

 Next  take a few distress stain colors and a non-stick

craft sheet. Put some drops of the stains on the sheet.

Hold the printed side of the paper towards the sheet

and wipe some ink on the paper.

This is how it looks. If some parts are not covered wipe it again.

 

When satisfied, dry it with your heat gun.

Take a brush and use some left over drops to

give the flowers and the leaves some extra color.

With a drop of bleach i colored the dove white.

Also the hearts of the flowers.

 From a piece of cut of some small flowers are punched

for the dove panel in the image. They are added to

the branches with little brads.

The next card you will find on

Gift Purses

 Very often people want just money as a gift.

It is not very creative to just give it in an envelop.

Than i found thes cute little purses to make

and they have room inside for money and

a little card.

 For these purses I used Stampin'Up! design papers

and images from 

Create with TLC

 If you use double sided paper 

even the inside is nice and it is

a pleasure to open the present.

 You can make these gift purses for any kind

of occasion: birthday, new home, baby or wedding.

There are a few samples her to give you an idea.

 

Below you find the instructions I found on the

internet and this tutorial is so easy to follow.

Enjoy!

Have a creative day!

Pesach Cards

 Not only is it Easter soon,

also Passover is around the corner
(April 7 until April 13)

and Create with Tlc has some great

Passover Subway art FREE on the blog.

Subway art is so easy to use on a card.

You can even make it as large as a card and 

your finished, or frame it and hang it 

on your wall during Passover

You can make a straight forward card, like above

or add a picture and color it.

 I googled the picture of Mozes as a coloring page

and wanted to add it here on the blog,

but I just cannot find it again. But I found another

cute picture to color. You can just click

on it and safe it with a right mouse click to your

computer and print it in a small size if you

want to use it for your card.

 

The sentiment "Chag sameach"

(meaning Happy Holiday) I typed and printed 

with the computer in a typewriter font

I found on Dafont.com (type right!)
