Tim Holtz Christmas Tag Day 3

Oh no! Not another day where I have to be inspired again, LOL. Well, I do not have anything but the die again from this days tag! So I started digging through the seasonal stash paper pad and when I saw this paper I thought it would be perfect because I could cut out letters. Just added glossy accents. Made my own ribbon using the paper tape. Can't wait to see what is in store for tomorrow.

Tim Holtz Christmas Tag Day 2

This tag just about did me in! First of all I had only the deer die and it is the mini one, so everything else was improvised. But I loved his original tag so much I had to try. The hardest part was that I did not have the kraft resist paper, so I tried to make my own using Utee however I could not find my Christmas stamps from last year or my white paint.

     Okay so here goes, after the 4th try I die cut a tag out of just plain kraft cardstock, glued 7Gypsies music tissue paper to it, ran it through the machine in the Merry Christmas folder then mixed floating medium with cream colored paint to get a translucent look and swiped the whole thing with a baby wipe to get off the excess. Found one stamp set so I stamped the holly and Merry Christmas added distress stickles for berries. Sprayed with pearl mist and pretty much followed the TH one. Oh yeah, had to use a pipe cleaner and changed the color of an old MM happy holiday tag using some gold Adirondack mixative stuff. Also could not find burlap which I know I have somewhere in an unpacked box so instead used this beautiful hand died silk ribbon I have been hoarding since 2005 when I picked up a bunch of it in a gift shop in Colorado. See ya for tag 3 tomorrow.

Tim Holtz 12 Days of Christmas Tags Day One

Ok here is my rendition of the tag. I first gathered up all things TH in my scraproom, this made it a little easier. I dod not have his kraft core card stock but I did have the distress paper pad so I used a color out of that and hit it with brushed cord. distresspad and it kind of looked like kraft color. then I embossed it with a folder, Uteed it and then swiped picket fence crackle paint over the top because I could not find any of my paint since the move.
     I used the flourish die and the M&S 25 die cut from grunge board then covered in glitter, the rest is the same as the original except that I had to hand cut the banner. Love, love, love the pinecone sizzlix die.
 Not bad for 4 hours of work, haha. See ya tomorrow
