Although Tim has now completed his 12 tags, I am slowly working my way through them! Here is my version of Day 5. I had the wrong fragments for this one, I didn't have the charm ones so couldn't make mine look quite like Tim's! Also I didn't have any white rub on greetings and couldn't find my white embossing powder so had to use gold!
Ink. We are up to I on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog and this week we have to use Ink on our work. Well I always use ink so this was easy! I used Distress Ink for the background and Adirondack for stamping the ivy on my atc.
A Christmas card for a friend whose favourite colour is black! I cut the large snowflake on my Cricut and the smaller one with a MS punch. The backing paper is Dovecraft. She liked the card!
Here is my version of Tim's Day 4 tag, a bit of a challenge as I had none of the things he used to make the little house embellishment so had to improvise completely!
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Christmas Foliage. I used my Penny Black stamp for this card, and some HOTP backing paper. I cut the mats on my Slice and edged with Gold Krylon.
Here is my version of Tim Holtz's Day 3 Tag. This one took ages! After several attempts at making the plaid background with alcohol inks, I finally had one I liked. Then after stamping the Santa and whilst splodging Pearl Dabber around to make the snow effect, I managed to drop the brush on it leaving a very large splodge!! I was not going to start all over again, so I improvised and put a grungeboard bauble over the spot and hopefully managed to disguise it. I inked some string with Distress Inks and edged the tag with a bit of silver to pull it all together. It isn't one of my favourite ones but I had a go!
This card follows the sketch on Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge blog, plus it is for the weekly Christmas card challenge on the Magical Crafts forum which is to use a Santa. I have also entered it for my Anything Goes Challenge on Craft Swap Forum, which this month is also to use a Santa on our work, and Creative Card Crew Challenge, which is Christmas, and Stampavie which is also Christmas. I used my lovely Tim Holtz Santa stamp and coloured him with Distress Inks and Pearl Dabber for his white bits! The backing papers are HOTP and all edged with Gold Krylon.
Here is my version of Tim Holtz's day 2 tag. I don't have his metal photo corners and flowers so improvised by stamping corners and embossing in gold, and using a gold snowflake instead! Also my frame stamp is an Anna Griffin one but I think it substitutes very well! I loved flicking the Perfect Pearls around the tag - and everywhere surrounding it!!
House! On this week's Alphabet Challenge Blog, Linda is asking us to use a House on our work. I have made another atc for my A - Z book using a Christmas cottage stamp, inks, ripped paper for snow, and all edged with Silver krylon.
Tim Holtz is doing his 12 Tags of Christmas again over on his blog, and I am going to be making them again. This is his 3rd year, I made last year's ones but not the first year, I may even go back one day and do those too! Here is my version of Tim's Tag 1. If you click on it you can just about see the effect of the Rock Candy Crackle Paint!
I made these atcs, Winter, Autumn and Summer, for my good friend She who sent me some lovely ones. I will make a Spring one in due course and send that too to complete the set!
The theme on My Time To Craft is Winter Pals. I am not sure if I like this card now I have done it! It was quite a big image and I think I should have put it on a bigger card with some pp's but never mind! The image is coloured in with Copics and Marvy Le Plumes.
This card is for 2 challenges. The weekly Christmas Card challenge on Magical Crafts Forum is to use Ribbon on our card, and the new challenge on Something Completely Different is to use Red, Green and a Snowman. I used my cute Patchwork Pals Snowman stamp and DCWV paper for my card.
Green and Gold! We are at G on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog, and the theme this week is to use Green and Gold on our work. I have made another atc for my book, and used an Elusive Images Geranium stamp on mine, coloured with Copics and edged with Gold Krylon.
Last year's blue one!
I made a Matchbox Advent Calendar last year and liked it so much I have made another this year. This year's one is in reds and greens, and I used Cosmo Cricket Christmas papers and some HOTP together with some CC chipboard shapes to decorate. I think I will make one a year and build up a collection!
I am entering this for the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge as I have just seen their challenge is to make a calendar, which can be an Advent Calendar!
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Very Vintage. I used Rustic Gems paper for my background and stamped and gold embossed an Anna Griffin swirl on and another to stamp my LB Crafts lady on, it might have been K & Co but I am not sure!
The next challenge on Ready Steady Stamp for our banners, is to use our chosen colours, a Christmas tree, eyelets, Cut' n Dry stamping and Kraft paper. I didn't like doing the Cut 'n Dry stamping and don't think I would use it much again, I tried several objects to press my heated up piece of Cut 'n Dry into and eventually settled on a Christmas tree charm, but I am not keen! I used a Technique Tuesday tree stamp and stamp and embossed it onto some Kraft paper, adding embellishments including the eyelets, and edging everything with gold Krylon.
The new challenge on Something Completely Different this week is to make a Christmas card with Blue, White and Snowflakes. I wanted to try out my new Cricut and so made this quite simple card by cutting 2 snowflakes with it, the backing paper is DCWV and the message is from Personal Impressions. I finished it off with a brad and some Liquid Pearls.
Flowers this week on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog. One of my favourite themes. I used my LB Crafts Secret Garden stamp for this and water coloured the flowers and rubbed chalk ink over the background, and the small flowers are Tapestry stamps.
The current weekly challenge set by Liz on Magical Crafts Forum is to make any sort of Christmas card - so I used my lovely House Mouse Ho! Ho! Ho! stamp and cut some mats with my Slice and embossed snowflakes with a CB folder to make this quite simple but I hope effective card!
