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 baseContinue reading “Fun Journal”

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 neverContinue reading “Colorful Birthday”
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 knowContinue reading “Fun Flowers”
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,Continue reading “Mr. Rabbit and his eggs”
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 bunnyContinue reading “Bunny time”
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 IContinue reading “Galentine 2024”
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 coloringContinue reading “Love birds”
Autumn pumpkins
My best friend loves blue/green pumpkins, so as soon as I got this die set, I knew I’d have to make some. Of course I had to put them on a card! This project all started with the pumpkins. I made both an orange set and a green one, but used just the green onesContinue reading “Autumn pumpkins”
The Scarecrow
Despite the 100+ degree temperatures around here, I am ready for fall. Dreaming of cooler nights, heading to the pumpkin patch and wearing sweaters again. I fell in love with this scarecrow stamp by Tim Holtz for Stampers anonymous and felt it would be perfect for a little reverse painting. Products used: Instructions: First IContinue reading “The Scarecrow”
Anniversary
This was a gift for my lovely in-laws who celebrated an amazing 60 years of marriage June 30. I’ve covered their faces as they are not active on social media so I wanted to keep them private. I first traced an etc tag onto a sheet of mixed media card stock. This card stock wasContinue reading “Anniversary”
