April 12 tags of 2014- Tim Holtz

I so love the tag Tim Holtz has done for April 12 Tags of 2014. This has to be my favorite so far this year. This tag taught me a new technique, how to use the framework die and create flowers.

It is amazing how I think I am not going to buy a die as I don't think I would use it. The. Tim comes out and uses it and I have to get it.

Here is the tag I made for the 12 tags of 2014 for April.



Hope you like and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Momma B birthday card

My second mom had a birthday on April 24th. I wanted to make her a card that incorporated the new technique I learned from Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2014 April tag.

I love how this card turned out and am really becoming addicted to the frameworks dies Tim Holyz launched this year.




I can see that these were a great purchase and live how it looks in this tag.

Thanks

Sew birthday card

I started going to church again back in Nov13 and have enjoyed the people I have met in the congregation.

There is this sweet woman named Lois that is a quilter and crafter. I decided I wanted to make her a birthday card.

I decided to make the card by using the sewing machine and to have it resemble the look of a quilt (or try).


I also wanted it to have a vintage and sewing theme. Here is the card I created. I hope you enjoy.




Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Gram Burkett 84th birthday canvas

I made the following canvas for Gram Burkett. I wanted to make her a canvas that should could enjoy and love.

In this canvas I use a new technique is learned using tissue tape, distress paint, distress pads and water.

I used this in the background of the canvas and details on the technique came from Tim Holtz blog.






I really like the background, effect and overall layout I did. Sometimes I never know what I am going for till it is done.

March Dad's b-day canvas and card

This year my Dad's birthday I wanted to make him his own canvas and a card that he would love.

My father as a kid loved old cars and I remember him speaking of Route 66.

So the card I made I took the theme of vintage with a mixed media flare. Here is a picture below:


His canvas I made I tried to achieve a masculine distress vintage style. When making the canvas I uses tim holtz distress paints and stains to develop the background. I wanted to archive a shuttle pop of color that would show through in the canvas and remain masculine.

Here is the canvas and I love how it turned out.

Thanks,

March Artist Choice Tag swap

I am in a craft group called Createexchange and I serve as one of the admins for the group.   March 2014 was a swap that I was to manage and come up with a theme.   I decided for this months swap to make it the artist choice when making the tag.

My thought was so that it gives each individual the capability to create a tag that defines them as an artisit or show what they love.   Here is the tag I made and I had Kaz who provided me inspirtation when making this tag.   Kaz is a designer for Tim Holtz and I love all her design work.  

I wanted to tie in some new released items of Tim Holtz into my tag as I am a HUGE fan of Tim Holtz.   I probably own part stock in his company with the stash i have in my art studio on his products - LOL

In this tag I wanted to incorporate a vintage charm with elements of wood, sewing and distress.

Here is the tag and I am so glad that may partner loved the tag I made.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  If you have any questions on this project or what items I used let me know.

My niece Breanna had a birthday on March 27th.  I asked her would she prefer that I make her a canvas or buy her clothes.  An her response was that she would prefer a handmade project of mine.

So I wanted to make her something that really had a vintage feel and tie in an element of using the sewing machine with various stitches.

Breanna is big on family and I love her so dearly so below is a picture of the canvas I made her.

I used authentique paper and many other elements to create this piece.

I hope you like.

April Tom's B-day card

Good afternoon, I wanted to share the card I made for my partner Tom. I wanted to make a very special tag for him that incorporated the stitching from the sewing machine.

I have really started using the sewing machine in my projects to add that next dimension and affect to my projects.





In this card I took random pieces of patterned paper and stitched the paper together. I then took some ribbon the has a ruler print and stitched that over the paper.

I then finished it off with a few embellishments and word blocks.

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by my blog.
