Fun Journal
This week I decided to share a fun journal project I started during a three day crop with the wonderful Richele Christensen. I’m not doing a step-by-step, merely sharing the pages for inspiration. I used a lot of Tim Holtz products, including stencils, collage paper, paper dolls, inks, ephemera, collage strips etc etc. The base…
Colorful Birthday
Many of us crafters have a stash of things that somehow we forget about or never find the perfect project for. We have piles of stamps that we forget to use. At least I hope I’m not the only one! This Happy Birthday frame has been in my stash for many years and I never…
Fun Flowers
I recently came across a video demonstrating an older technique using embossing folders and decided I had to try it with one of Tim Holtz’s 3D embossing folders. It’s such a fun technique and it feels like magic when you do the reveal. Hope you try it! Materials used: The most important thing to know…
Mr. Rabbit and his eggs
Mr. Rabbit has all of your egg dying needs! Had fun playing with this new stamp set along with some older things I’ve had sitting unused in my craft room. I started with a Tim Holtz framed panel (this size, approx. 6 1/2″x 9″, may be retired). I painted it with Black Soot distress paint,…
Bunny time
Easter is a little early this year so I thought I’d share a couple cards I made for my swap group. For this simple slimline card I used the Hipster bunny stamp set (THMM164). This set comes with a stencil that I used for the polka dot background, using Tumbled Glass oxide ink. The bunny…
Galentine additional photos
I realized after I published that some of the photos were omitted, so I’ve made this addtional post with a few extra photos for you to show a few more details. Hope these additional photos are helpful =)
Galentine 2024
This year my swap group decided to draw names and make special Valentine’s for each other. I happened to draw my best friend’s name , so I knew she would like this slightly grungy card with a matching candy holder. It also gave me an opportunity to use the new Vault rosettes die. Materials used I…
Love birds
It has been awhile since I’ve posted. 2023 was not my best year but I’m hoping 2024 will be better. I hope to start posting more regularly. With that said, here is the first card of 2024! I’ve been wanting to play with my die cuts and this card uses three! Products used I started by assembling and water coloring…
Butterfly Haven
I was making butterfly children from paper dolls and butterflies for a junk journal I’ve been working on and got distracted by one particular little girl who I thought looked adorable sitting on a toadstool. I decided she needed her own project. Enjoy! First, I glued a piece of paper from the Abandoned paper stash…
Lumberjack Valentine
Hello everyone! I’m back with an idea for your Valentine this year. I’ve seen several folks turn the Woodland Santa into a lumberjack and with the new wood slice die I thought he’d be cute as a Valentine. Turning Santa into a lumberjack, particularly if you are making several, is a labor of love, so…
