Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2014 (Aug)

This month's tag from Tim is a collection of all his favorite things and techniques. For my tag I used a vintage sewing pattern image placed over embossed letters and tissue tape (i.e., in lieu of texture paste).

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2013 (April)

I was so excited when I saw this month's tag from Tim since I love dragonflies. Other than the stamp, I used all Stampin' Up! products along with an overhead transparency, my silhouette to cut the gears and the number 4, and a random blue brad to adhere the wings.

I started by applying layers of ink to distressed copper metallic cardstock. I then stamped the dragonfly with versamark ink and embossed with black embossing powder. I used two pieces of washi tape from the This and That kit to adhere the newsprint designer series paper and finished off the tag with more embossing powder randomly sprinkled over the tag. The wings were stamped with StazOn and the arrow is from the new Hung Up Cute Clips set.

Happy 2013 and welcome to my blog. Once again I will be posting my version of Tim's 12 Tags of 2013 made from all Stampin' Up! products (unless otherwise noted).  For this month's tag I chose to go with Not Quite Navy card stock and the new Honeycomb textured impressions embossing folder. I distressed with matching ink and added silver ink highlights with water. The gears and the text were cut from Crumb Cake cardstock using a Silhouette. The ticket tag is also new and from the set called That's the Ticket. (Note: the filmstrip is not Stampin' Up!)

The theme of this month's tag is faux industrial metal.  Using all Stampin' Up! products, I applied multiple layers of copper embossing powder until it was thick enough to stay warm and accept a rubber stamp impression.  I applied black StazOn to the edges of the tag to give it a worn or dirty look.  Since I didn't have any actual gears to attach I used a gear stamp both in the background and on a black piece of cardstock.
