Wise Men Still Seek Him

These are some glass blocks I did for Christmas gifts.  I did them for dear friends that are really more like family.  I don’t get to see them very often because life is so busy, but when I do, my heart sings.
I got the glass blocks from Michaels.  The designs were cut on my Silhouette Cameo with designs purchased from the Silhouette store.  I put in indoor Christmas lights.  I just love how they look when they are lit up.  TFL!

This card was made with my Cricut Expression, Cricut Folk Art Festival Cartridge, cartridge, cardstock, ribbon, brad, Cat’s Eye Ink, bakers twine and a rubber stamp.  TFL!

Beautiful Butterflly

HPIM2538

Hi All!  All the cuts on this are from my Cameo Silhouette.  I just love my Cameo!  The butterfly is cutout of some fabulous and delicate pearlescent paper.  And it just cut out so beautifully on the Cameo!  The purple dots are “skittles”…if you know what I’m talking about…lol.  I also added some blue baker’s twine at the top.  TFL!

“Thank You!, Thank You!, Thank You!” painted card inspired by this months issue of Paper Crafts mag.  Fun and easy and pretty.  I added a bit of Pearlized mist over the top of mine for some glitz.  The painted portions are on watercolor paper.  The rest is regular cardstock.  TFL!

Tim Holtz Inspired Tags–Queen Bee and Butterfly

Butterfly close up

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!
