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!

CTlc Calendar Girls Blog Hop

 Here we are presenting the new Design Team of

Create with TLC.

This hop is all about calendars

and when you visit all the blogs,

you collect 12 FREE calendar page images.

(Click on the image and save it to your computer.)

 What can you do with these calendar images?

Well, you can use them on a birthday card and circle the date of

the person's birthday.

Here I used it for a Valentine card. Made a heart around the date

of Valentine. The sentiment is also by Create with TLC 

and the owlis a punch by Stampin'Up!

 

My 2nd page I used to share with you my idea: 

for a desk calendar.

 

(Click on the image and save it to your computer)

 The desk calendar is an easel card with

a post it notepad and a pen at the bottom.

 

The image of the girl with the hat is also

by Create with TLC.

Here you see how the card is constructed..

The base of the card is 5,5"x 11.

And for the pen there is a ribbon attached to the notepad

before gluing it to the bottom of the card.

 

The calendar is fastened with a bookclip

so you can change the month every time

very easily.

Now I am sure you want more images to finish your

calendar and get even more inspiration.

Please follow your way and go

to the wonderful SARA and see what she

has for you. Click HERE.

If you loose your way go go back to 

Create with TLC.

Thank you Paulette for all your wonderful images!

Have a creative day!

Valentine inspiration

 More cards with images from the 

Febuary Club at Create with TLC.

I printed the main image on a book page.

The sentiment is also from Create with Tlc.

The hearts are the mini cloisonné hearts

by Michael Strong and they are embossed in gold.

 For this card I used the same image,

but I colored the hears and the lines differently.

Sentiment is also from Create with TLC.

On the doths of the swirly pattern some red

gemstones are added.

The banner is made with the banner punch by SU!

and all the flags are tied together with wax thread.

 Here a close up of the banner.

I stamped the mini hearts again in distress ink (frayed burlap)

and added the letters on top (a clear set I have).

On each letter there is a little gemstone.

Have a creative day!

Some creations

 Here are some cards I made today.

All are made with digital images by 

Create with TLC.

Paulette has a wonderfulk feature: The Club.

You can subscribe for a few dollars and get lots

of digital images in your mailbox.

Every month there is a new Club.

 

This bingo card is made with digital images

of the Febuary Club. Lots of Valentine

and birthday images. 

I printed them on kraft paper and on white.

The boy and girl are colored with copic markers.

This winter card is made with some of the free images you can find on

the Create with TLC Blog.

I printed out the winter words and then I used a 

snowflake embossing folder. I used a little blue

distress ink on it to make the snowflakes more visable.

The mittens are colored with copic markers.

For the background i also used the same snowflake embossing

folder and the icicle embossing folder.

First I added some white ink and after this

a used clear embossing powder to make

it look very icy.

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!

Babushka

 I just love using my Stampin'Up! owl punch.

 

This one is so versatile, you can make almost anything

out of it. I love to surf the web and see what others have 

done with it. One day I came across this: a BABUSHKA

and made a pregnancy card out of it.

If you like to see the original,  click on HERE.

All you need to make this is three punches:

the owl punch

a 1" circle punch

and an oval punch.

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

 

Have a creative day!

Cheers to the New Year

The New Year has begun and already I used my

first pictures for my first scrapbook page of 2012.

This page is made with

- papers of Club Scrap Aurora Borealis

- numbers by Michael Strong

- sentiment by Create with TLC

The "oliebollen" en "appelflappen" are Dutch delicacies for the end 

of the year. Oliebollen are a kind of doughnut balls with raisins inside

and appelflappen are apples with a sause around it fried in oil.

I stamped the numbers with versamark and embossed them

with gold embossing powder. Added a little gloitter sticker to go with the sentiment.

 

The sentiment is printed on the paper, cut to size and

some glitter stickers added.

Have a creative New Year!
