Happy Halloween!

This tag features another stamp from Tim Holtz's 2019 Stampers anonymous set along with four of the sentiments in the set. I fussy cut around this guy and added shadow with colored pencils. Hopefully you're noticing my awesome faux candles made out of cardstock, hot glue and twine. They really came out cool. For a step by step video head over to Tim's Facebook page.

Cocoa Daisy Tag Album

Several years ago I subscribed to Cocoa Daisy's monthly Travelers Notebook Kit Club and had a ton of fun documenting my daily life for almost year. Recently I subscribed to Cocoa Daisy's Planner Kit and thought I would clean out my stash of Cocoa Daisy Products before my new kit arrived. I used leftovers from one of their beach themed kits to create this cute tag album.

Tag Birthday Card

I've had this tag sitting in my scrap pile forever and had never thought of using it on a card until recently. The butterfly was a last minute addition to what was meant to be a masculine card. Happy Birthday Chip!

Bridge Card

I purchased this stamp from Etsy for another project and thought it would make a great masculine birthday card stamp.

Anytime Card

I recently subscribed to Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine and used this sketch for what I'm calling the Anytime Card. If you haven't checked out their website you're missing out. I would highly recommend subscribing to the magazine (it's so beautiful), you can also download it from their website. What?!

Random Tag

This morning I watched Tim Holtz live on FB and was inspired to create this tag. I'm not sure when or where I got this magazine photo but for reason I kept it in my stash.

Happy St. Patrick's Day Tag

After watching Tim Holtz live on Facebook over the weekend I was inspired to do a St. Patrick's Day tag. Hope you have a great one.

Monster Reunion Tag - Zombie Spell

Here is another tag made with Tim Holtz's Monster Reunion stamp set. This one is for my niece.

Monster Reunion Tag - Someone Say Candy?

I haven't made tags in such a long time but I couldn't resist these stamps from Tim Holtz. Although I missed out on Monster Reunion 2 during Stamptember this set is still pretty cool and perfect for my 12 year old nephew.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Dec)

Happy December! Here is my twelfth and final tag for Tim's 12 Tags of 2016. As with previous years, I relied on my stash and improvised as needed while still trying to stay true to Tim's style. For this tag I used ephemera, inks and sprays from Ranger, poinsettia paper and punch elements from SU, and burlap from an old place setting. On January 1st I will be posting all twelve tags as part of a Year in Review. Hope you enjoy!

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Nov)

Twelve down and one to go...another great year of tags in the making from Tim.  As usual, I did not have all the supplies needed but I had similar products and utilized Tim's techniques. The rub-ons are just random images from my stash but I really liked the resist effect it created. Unfortunately my letter dies were far too big for the tag so I used a wood embellishment which actually worked well with the fall theme. Now on to Christmas and winter. Yikes.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Oct)

For this month's tag from Tim I used a printable mummy skull that I found off of the internet and created my own industrial look using an eyelet tool and foil tape. I applied alcohol ink directly to the pieces of foil and just let it run wherever it decided to go. For the background I distressed some newsprint collage paper to match Tim's patchwork collage technique.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Sep)

This is definitely a twist on Tim's tag for September.  As you can see I did not have the embellishments or the stamp that Tim used so I decided to go completely outside the box and use Tim's Crazy Dogs stamp set while still using his techniques.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Aug)

This has been a hectic month to say the least but I finally got around to making August's tag from Tim. As usual, I had to improvise and do a lot of handcutting since I did not have the honeycomb or the wildflower dies. Hope you like it.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Jul)

For this month's tag challenge I wanted to use patriotic colors in honor of 4th of July and I thought Tim's compass would work well while still staying true to the theme. I covered the stamped image with glue-n-seal instead of micro glaze and it seemed to be a good substitute.  In place of the word die I used flower dies to expose the watercolor paper underneath. The sentiment is from SU.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Jun)

Here is this month's tag for Tim's challenge and what a challenge it turned out to be (i.e., many versions into the trash). Since I did not have the dapper design die I had to go searching my Silhouette library for something manly...a golfer. Next the plaid and what to do without the striped stencil...a ruler and markers. Definitely a dad worthy tag.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (May)

For this month's tag from Tim I used a Victorian era printable off of the internet as the focal point and a flower punch in lieu of the rosette die.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Apr)

Well this month's tag from Tim was by far the most labor intensive and time consuming tag that I've ever created. Since I did not have the pre-made mosaic pieces I created my own using magazine clippings coated with crystal effects. The rooster is from Silhouette. Of course, in the end it was all worth it.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Mar)

For this month's tag from Tim, I used cardboard to create the texture and tore away pieces to expose the corrugation. For the texture within the butterfly I opted to use an embossing folder and markers. Since my butterfly die was so large I had to turn the tag horizontally which I believe is a first for me.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2016 (Feb)

This month's tag from Tim features a really cool 50s era vintage photo and a coordinating background made with a lace stencil. I decided to switch it up a bit by using a dark SU patterned paper with a current selfie made to look vintage.  The sentiments in the background are Heidi Swapp and embossed with gold SU powder.  The flower is handmade.
