Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 - September



Hello Friends,hope you are having a great week...it's flying already.

 

Last week I got my mini bluprint stamps and used them to play in the 

12 Tags of 2012. Love these stamps!

 

 

I have been trying to get a better photo of this tag and struggled. So in the end I decided to post this photo anyway or it will be October!!! LOL.

 

Loved the way the meatlwork showed up but thought something was wrong with it......

My metal snowflake had fallen off!!

 

I made my faux riveted tag and decided to make it 'the earth'.

Off to secure with glossy accents!!

Thanks for looking.

Planes,Trains and Automobiles

Hello Everyone,hope your weekend was great.

Today is a new challenge over at FCCB.

#128 is Trains,Planes & Automobiles - use your cricut to make a project with

some form of transportation.

 

Here is a card I made for my Dad's birthday this week.

Do you remember when pink furry dice were all the rage?

 

I made them beige!! Pink didn't seem appropriate!!

 

Recipe

Nate's ABC - car cut at 4"

Shrink plastic and whimsy sentiment for car badge ...washi and shrink plastic kick going on!!!!!

My Creative Time stamps for the dice - flocked.

Glossy accents for lights

Acetate for windscreen

Lots of pop dots.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Planning some catching up today!

 



                                                          

Shirt shaped Card and Fantabulous Crawl Winner

Good Morning Crafty Friends.

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2. My very sweet and talented friend,Stephanie, is host and

has chosen a shaped card as our theme,using any cricut cart.

 

I have a plethora of Dad cards to make for next week (ok...maybe a slight exageration...but I need

a couple at least!!)

 

 

 

Photo removed for publication.

 

 

 

 

I used CTMH Artiste.

My card is cut at 4.5" and envelope at 4.75".

I cut the envelope slightly bigger because I add so much dimension to my card.

#1 Dad cut at 2"

Papermania Happy Days DP

Papermania Happy Days Urban Stamps

What wonderful projects!! I love the file folders - perhaps as I was hunting for something like that for my desk at work!! Nothing I found came anywhere close to yours! Great pencil box too!

My favourite stationary item is little notepaper - especially when it has a sweet little picture on it.

 

 

Congratulations Kate!

 

Thanks for stopping by.



DIY Washi tape Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend.

 

Part of my My Creative Time order arrived this week which were from Emma's

latest release. So I have been busily making lots of variations of tri-fold cards and envelopes.

 

I used washi tape on one of the cards I made and  really liked the look.

 

 

 

So decided to have a go at making my own!

 

 

 

 

 

Basic masking tape placed on my glass mat...you could use a craft sheet.

 

I stamped in archival ink.

 

I wiped a corner of my distress ink pads onto the glass mat, added water and coloured in.

 

I attached them to acetate to store.

It's very addictive to make!

 

 

 

 

 

It's so easy,this will be fab for Christmas packaging!!!

 

List of supplies:-

Card Sentiments,3 x3 Fancy envelope Die,Stitched Scallop and Circle Die,

All Around Halloween,All Around Everything and Accessories - My Creative Time.

Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints

Masking Tape

Distress Inks

 

Thanks for looking.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

 



                                                     

BBTB2 - Back to School

This is my second post of the day, for the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl

Back to School,click here.

 

The wonderful Brenda over at BBTB2  has given us a

Back to School cricut challenge.

 

Here is my card...

 

I used Wild Card 2 for the note book card, cut at 4.5".

 

The sentiment and scallop stitched circle is from My Creative Time.

 

My son starts senior school next week and his tie is maroon

and silver..my crafty stash didn't have that colour ribbon so I made it

pink and brown instead!

 

 

I have to say we are so very proud of Ossian,he won the highest award he

could get at the end of last term - The Clanfield Star award.

Only given to one pupil at the end of their junior school years.

All his mates and teachers signed his t-shirt!

 

Also..sorry ,one last thing...

 

CONGRATULATIONS OSSI!

 

He started playing golf at Easter  and he won the

 Golf Club Junior Championship on Saturday.

He's 11 years old.

 

I think I ought to start scrapbooking!!

 

Thank you for indulging me a proud Mum moment!

 

Now,back to the challenge.There's lots of  inspiration from the amazing

Design Team over at BBTB2.

 

As you know I am on the DT for FCCB  and BBTB2. They both are cricut challenge blogs and this week they have the same challenge,so do enter both.

 

There is blog candy on my FCCB post as it is a blog hop. So do check it out.

If the winner of my blog candy has submitted a project at both FCCB and BBTB2 then I will add an

extra surprise to their candy! Leave me a comment on this post so I know.

Just a reminder..BBTB2 is now a weekly challenge.

The paper clips are from Fabulous Finds.

I had forgotten how many wonderful things were on this cart.

I used cuts for my Suitcase from this cart too.

 

The labels are a punch and Paula Pascual stamps.
