Tim Holtz Inspired Tags–Queen Bee and Butterfly

I have always loved Tim Holtz and his products.  But, I have only really recently started using them and trying to be creative with the Tim Holtz world of wonder.  These are a couple of tags I tried my hand at.  The butterfly tag is an interpretation of one of his tags of 2012.  The other is based on his paint dauber resist technique.  I gotta say one of my favorite products is the Distress Stain.  I used it to dye both the ribbon and lace on these tags.  Just so fun!  TFL! 

Floral Fun

This card was so fun to make.  I primarily used my Silhouette Cameo to make it.  The flower in the middle and the label shapes behind it are from the Silhouette Online store.  I added gold micro-beads and Recollections dots to the middle and wrapped some twine into a bow around the middle of the flower.  Most of the paper is from the DCWV Coral Couture stack.  The small orange and peach flowers are also the Recollections brand.  I inked the edges and used glitter pen here and there.  TFL!

Happy Birthday Flower and Banners

Just poppin’ in to post a card! Used my Cricut, an EK punch, Cuttlebug, some rubberstamping, a Reflections floers and some ribbon. TFL!

Valentine’s Day Decor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     So Valentine’s Day is coming up soon and I wanted to make some fun décor.  I made this with my Cricut and several cartridges.  I used the new and fabulous Victorian Romance, Fancy Frames, Martha Stewart Everyday Cakes, and CTMH Art Philosophy cartridges.  I cut all the base pieces of the frame with a light weight chipboard.  I covered the frame part with a piece of K&Co. patterned paper.  I used the same (double sided) paper to make the flowers from the CTMH AP cartridge and added a pearl in the middle.   I also added some gold smooch ink to the edges of the flowers.   I wrapped the frame with some gold twine and inked the edges with red rose Cat’s eye ink. 

     I wrapped the frame holder with gold twine.  I sponged it with ink and sprayed it with glimmer mist.  I designed the frame holder on my Gypsy and decided to leave out all the tiny pieces on this design to make it easier to cut.  I added some ribbon and another flower to the front.  The “Be Mine”  is from the Martha Stewart cart.  I added gems to all the corners.

The adorable little clown is from the new Victorian Romance cart.  I cut it at 2 inches and it cut great!  I added craft plastic to the frame to make it more real.  I also added a back layer and put pop dots between the front and back layer for dimension.  Thanks for looking!
