Video: Tim Holtz Happy Birthday Tag

Hello Crafty Friends!

I have been playing with some Tim Holtz goodies lately.  I have been having so much fun getting my hands dirty and playing with paint. I will be sharing those projects with you in the weeks to come.  

One of the things I made is a Happy Birthday Tag. I used 3 different Tim Holtz Alterations Thinlits die sets by Sizzix and some new Distress Paints and Ink Pads.

You can also watch a video on how I made this tag.

I hope you enjoy and please tell me what you think.

Tim Holtz Tags of 2015: February

Hey crafty friends.

I have a Valentine's tag to share with you today. I used lots of Tim Holtz products and I'll have a link on the supplies at the bottom of the post.

 I used a #8 Manila Tag and I made a collage using from the Ephemera Pack.  Before adhering the paper pieces to the tag, I inked up the edges using Walnut Stain Ink pad and a blending tool. Then I adhered the pieces using gel medium and a brush. Then I cut the edges that were sticking out and I also applied gel medium all over the tag to seal it in.

 I was listening to some old songs the other day and the song that I that got stuck in my head was "Cherish" from Kool and the Gang.  So I thought I'd made it the sentiment for my tag. The words are from the Chitchat sticker collection and before I adhered the words to the tag, I stained the edges with Walnut Stain ink pad and a blending tool.

For the heart, I die cut one of the hearts from the Mini Movers and Shapers Hearts.  Then I crumpled a small piece of tissue paper then adhered it to the heart.  I cut along the edges and inked up the heart using Fired Brick Ink Pad directly.  I used the Industrious stickers for the oval frame and the corners at the bottom of the tag.

The arrow and the word stick were painted with Distress Paint in Picket Fence and adhered just above the lace.  To look more distressed and grungy, I used a brown Faber Castell PITT brush marker on the edges of the each adhered piece and blended it with my fingers.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014: December

Hello Friends and Crafters!
I have a Christmas Tag to share with you today. I used a lot of Tim Holtz's products in this tag and I had so much fun making it. The supplies and products I used to make this tag are linked below.

I started with a #8 Kraft Tag and a piece of tissue paper from the Melange Tissue Wrap Paper and I used the part where there were musical notes or a music sheet on it.  I crumpled the tissue before adhering it to the tag.  I wanted to have that texture from the wrinkled tissue. Then I trimmed the edges and inked the whole tag with Chipped Sapphire and the edges with Walnut Stain.  I then used the Bubble Stencil and some white embossing paste and applied it to the top half of the tag.

Here you can see the Tim Holtz dies I used (listed and linked below). For the poinsettia, the smaller/inner petals are from the Mini Movers and Shapers while the bigger ones are the smallest from the Tattered Poinsettia die. I used white hand made paper for the poinsettia then I used a dauber to apply the ink (Fired Brick and Peeled Paint) Then I spritz some water so the ink can absorb then I squeezed it out, open up the petals and let it dry. Then I added some elements from the  Festive Greenery die cuts to add to the poinsettia.

I used a piece of grunge board for the reindeer and stained it with Walnut Stain. The holly on the reindeer's neck are left overs from a previous project.  The bell, lace, burlap and hemp are from my stash.  To give shimmer to the reindeer I used Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen and some 

Glossy Accents to the red berries.

Finally, I used the Christmas Word Bands the sentiment.
