More Projects

Several weeks ago I participated in a “Slumber Party” with one of the groups I belong to.  I played along with most of the projects. 

First, I have an ATC that we were to make and use the number of our birthday.  I couldn’t think of anything for 23 but I did have this Tim Holtz stamp with ALL the numbers!!!  I used some of the techniques that I learned doing the 12 days of Christmas tags with Tim Holtz.

I made this card for a challenge that night as well.  She gave us a long list of items that we were required to put on the card.  It was hard to get them all in and still make the card pretty but I think I succeeded. 

The final one is a tag.  The challenge this time was to use a Tim Holtz technique.  I did the technique where you put drops of Distress Ink on a craft mat.  Spritz it with water and then lay you tag on the ink.  My tag didn’t turn out as well as I had wanted.  I stamped the sentiment in Black Soot Distress Ink and added embossing powder but the sentiment still doesn’t stand out as much as I had wanted.

I love making tags and should do it more often!

I used a lot of Tim Holtz dies, inks and stamps as well as some other miscellaneous stuff I had around the studio.

That’s it for today!!!

What I’ve Been Up to Lately

I have been creating a lot lately.  My sister, Rose, was here for over a week.  She went home last Friday but we did so many things while she was here. 

When my mom and sisters used to get together, it usually revolved around shopping.  Every once in a while someone would suggest something different like a drive in the mountains to a place we would go as children.

But lately, when we get together we make art!  It has been so much fun!!!  One day my mom and Rose came over.  I had set up everything outside on the deck and helped them in making some collage art.  This is a new type of art for them.

Another day, we all met up with at my mom’s including my niece, Alicia and of course her bee-bee, Landon.  We all painted faces following along with Willowing’s Art, Heart and Healing.  This is the third face that I have painted following along with lesson 1.  (I’ll share those when my girls get some hair!)  I think it’s now time to move on to lesson 2.  I'm going to have my mom over so that we can work on lesson 2.

Anyway, today I’m sharing an art journal page I did while following along with The Greeting Farm’s He-Art Journal classes.

I used Tim Holtz Sizzix die for all the hearts.

The theme this week was wings.  The page says “Spr(e)ad Your Wings and Fly to where your heart tells you.”  (Yes there is a spelling error.)  This has special meaning for me because I have recently started volunteering with our Organ Donation Registry, “Yes Idaho”.  I can’t wait for our first project.

I also had the great privilege of getting together with some wonderful women, the Design Divas.  They are a group of local women that get together once a month.  Each month, one of the members is responsible for putting together a project for everyone to make.  I’m kind of a slow crafter so I didn’t get mine done but I work on it a bit while waiting on other projects.  I can’t wait to share that one.  I’m hoping that they will invite me to join them again.  I love sitting around with people who love to create as much as I do!

I have so many things to share with you.  I’m going to try really hard to get on here and post a little more often.

Blessings,

Christine

Numbers ATC

Do you like Artist Trading Cards?  I love getting in on swaps for ATCs.  It’s so much fun to see how everyone interprets a certain theme.  If you would like to swap with me, the first four people to comment that they want to swap, well, let’s just do it!!!

I made this ATC for a challenge.  Maybe I’ll give it away but probably not because I cheated a little.  Technically, ATCs should be able to be slipped into a baseball card holder.  With the large flower I attached to this one, it would never fit in a baseball card holder.

Most of the items I used on this ATC are Tim Holtz’s products—lots of Distress Ink, two Sizzix Tim Holtz dies, that little stick pen that attaches the ticket, a Tim Holtz stamp set and Distress Embossing powder.

That’s it for this week.  Don’t forget that theirs a big going out of business sale in the Paper Maniac store.  Everything is 30% off and they are flying off the shelves.  You better hurry and get yours today.

Blessings,

Christine

******************

I love the new fashion of these drop charm necklaces and decided to make one with some Tim Holtz Idea-ology pieces.

 

Supply List

I decided to use various items from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology line.

1. Salvage Stickers—Crowded Attic—so many things to choose from in this beautiful book.
2. Word Sticks—I love adding inspirational words to my projects.
3. Facets—these are gorgeous and really give the piece a professional look.
4. Type Charms—I just had to include my initial!
5. Swivel Clasps—this item is what started the whole thing.  Ever since I first saw these clasps, I’ve wanted to make a piece of jewelry with them.
6. Sprocket Gears—love these but the piece ended up without it.
7. Word Keys—more words but on a beautiful key!
8. Philosophy Tags—and even more words.

Items not pictured:

1. Clear packing tape
2. Ranger Matte Accents
3. Paper piercing tool
4. Other various jewelry supplies

 

Assemble Type Charm

The Type Charms come with all of the alphabet letters and a little adhesive bubble for each of the charms.

 All you need to do is add your initial and then put the bubble on top of that.

 

Create Facets Charm

I chose this lovely 50s lady out of the Salvage Stickers—Crowded Attic booklet to use for my charm.  You can use any type of paper you would like to create your charm.

I wanted to add a little color so I colored her simply with my Copics.  This is where you need the packing tape.  This particular paper is a sticker.  Turn your paper over and apply a piece of packing tape to the back.  The packing tape will add some stability and strength to the charm.

Using Matte or Glossy Accents (I think Glossy Accents would be a better choice), apply some to the entire back side of the charm.  I did this on the reverse side of the Facets packaging so that I had the charm on something stable so I could move it out of the way into a safe place to dry.  For me, this is very important.  I’ve ruined more than one piece before it’s dry. 

I put this lovely lady aside to dry overnight.  Trim around the charm.  I used Tim Holtz Tonic Studios Scissors.  You will also need to pierce a hole in the top of the facet.  I took photos of these steps but when I checked my camera, they were gone.  Sometimes when the battery is low on my camera, the photos aren’t saved.

 

Assemble the Drop Charm

I took photos of this step as well but they went missing!

I decided to add the items with color onto the Swivel Clasp so that I could change things up depending on the outfit.  I added the remaining pieces to the chain on the Swivel Clasp. 

When I make a drop charm I like to add it using an alligator clasp so I can attach it to any necklace I want.  This one contains silver, copper and gold so I will be able to use any antiqued color chain I would like.

So, what do you think this necklace would cost at the department store?  Here’s a breakdown of what it cost me to make.

• Salvage Stickers     .01
• Word Sticks           .50
• Facets                  .67
• Type Charms          .50
• Swivel Clasps         .25
• Word Keys            1.43
• Philosophy Tags      .42

I had these supplies on hand.  The price of each is negligible.

• Other various jewelry supplies
• Clear packing tape
• Ranger Matte Accents
• Other various jewelry supplies

That’s a total of $3.28.  You definitely wouldn't be able to purchase it for that and this one is customized to my own artsy tastes.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial.  Now go make some jewelry for yourself!!!

Blessings,

Christine 

Urban Flight

Hi all!  I’m feeling a bit better today.  On Tuesday, I was so tired I could hardly even think!!!  I went to bed early and slept 12 hours!  Yay!!! 

I have another project using some of my favorite GCD papers—Artsy Urban from the Paper Maniac store.  I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Fanciful Flight die to layer up two of the patterns from this stack as well.  I added a sentiment from Unity Stamps June Store Kit.    I mounted the butterfly to a row of Webster’s Pages Bloomers.

That’s it for this week!  See ya’ soon!!!

Blessings,

Christine

On the Wings of Love

Hi!  It’s my turn to post on the Paper Maniac Inspiration blog today.  I used Tim Holtz/Sizzix Heart Wings die.  I colored the wings with Ranger Snow Cap Paint Dabber and I colored the crown using gold Alcohol Ink applied with an Alcohol Ink Applicator.  The bottom layer of the heart is colored with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.  I colored the top heart with craft paint and then applied Rock Candy Distress Stickles using my finger.  The beautiful paper is Basic Grey Curio.   As I most always do, I colored some Kaisercraft pearls with Copics.

I’m driving down to Utah today.  I have an appointment with my dermatologist to have a couple of things removed.  Since I’m on immunosuppressants he wants to do them a week apart so I’ll be gone for a while.  I’m taking my mom down with me so we’ll be having some fun mother and two daughters (missing one) time.  Mostly, we plan to create.  Of course, we’ll have to make some time to hit my favorite thrift stores plus, I really want to hit the Pepperidge Farm cookie store!

That’s all folks!  I’m off to bed so I can get up bright and early at 10:00 am!!!  Well early for me anyway!

Blessings,

Christine

Scribbling with Tim

Posting quick so I don’t miss the deadline for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge by Linda!!!  Back in a bit for details!

I’m back!  I made this tag on the day after the challenge was posted but was so busy with everything at Christmas time that I totally forgot to post it.  I saw a project on someone else’s blog yesterday and still almost forgot!  Yay, but it’s here now!!!

The challenge this week is the Scribble Stain technique!!!  I love this technique but you can’t really see it much on my tag.  I only have two colors of distress reinkers and not good ones for this technique to really show. 

More re-inkers are definitely on my wish list for 2010!  I’ve been buying a paint dauber every time I go to my lss but I think I’ll start adding reinters to that list!!!  There are just so many things that you can do with puddles of distress ink!

I’ve been working on a lot of fun creative projects this week and will hopefully have something to share tomorrow! 

Did you work in your Art Journal today for Art Journal Everyday?  I worked on a couple of things but not one of my art journals.  I’ll be making time for that between now and when I start on my project for Paper Maniac Inspiration this week!

See ya’ later alligator!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Tim Tag 8

I guess I did get tired of tags because I had tags done that I didn’t get posted.  Or maybe I just wasn’t in a talkative mood here on the blogo!!!  Well, I’m back now with tag 8.

I didn’t have hardly any of the supplies for this tag.  I didn’t have the masks that Tim used so I cut a sleigh and reindeer with my Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge.  I also didn’t have Tim’s house edge die so I cut the houses out with the Winter Wonderland cartridge.  I’m going to be getting that house die.  I love that one!!!

I used an old watch part instead of Tim’s Idea-ology clock faces however, I’m going to go get Tim’s clock faces and replace this one.  I just don’t like that look.  Tim used a label maker for the sentiment but, once again, I don’t have one of those so I just generated it with the computer.  I used Vintaj corners instead of Tim’s as well.  It’s kind of fun to dig around the stash to find the things I needed!!!

In case your wondering what the back of my tags look like, I used the same background on the back as on the front.  Normally (but not with this one) I created a background on each side and then used the side I liked best as the front.  I do that with most tags I create.

Now, if you stuck with me for this long, I have some news for you.  My blogoversary is in just 19 days and I think I have a fun way of celebrating.  Come back on Christmas Day to find out what you will need to do to have a chance of winning the goodies!!!

Have a good Wednesday before Christmas, okay?

Blessings,

Christine

Tim Tags Re-Do with Paper Maniac

I know, I’ve been a bad blogger lately, but with the new year, I promise to start blogging more!!!

Today I’m sharing my creation for Paper Maniac Inspirations. I made a tag inspired by Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas.  This year I played along with all of Tim’s tags although I haven’t quite finished the last three.  For my project, I decided to use my favorite techniques and stamps inspired by Tim and create one more tag.

I used some of my favorite Tim Holtz products from the store.  Of course, I used Tim Holtz stamps and Distress Inks, plus Idea-ology embossed with Distress Embossing Powder and of course, tissue tape for the ruffle on the bottom.  I love everything Tim Holtz and Patti carries so many of his items in the store!

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas week with your family and friends!

Blessings,

Christine

Are Ya’ Tired of Tags Yet

I’m actually getting a little tired of them but I’m pushing through.  I really want to get them all made because I know that I won’t finish them up if I set them aside.  I’m actually close to finishing.  I have nine tags done and parts of the remaining three.  Yay!!!

So, without further adieu (I really dislike when people use that phrase), tag 7.

It seems that everyday the tag that Tim put on his blog was my favorite tag.  This one remained one of my top favorites.  I just don’t know where Tim pulls his ideas from but I just can’t believe how creative this one is.  This poinsettia is actually made from his Tattered Floral die.  He had us cut the petals apart and then basically crimp the top part of the petal and glue that part down onto the tag, leaving the middle pointy part as the petals.

Once again, I made some changes from Tim’s original tag.  He used a wood grain embossing folder which I don’t have but probably wouldn’t have used anyway.  I chose to use another of Tim’s folders to give more of the shabby feel that I like.  I cut the “Joyful” out with my Cricut.

I have scheduled a post for tomorrow with the card for my Paper Maniac Inspiration blog post so check back for that, okay?

I hope your week is going well so far!!!!

Blessings,

My Least Favorite

of the Tim Holtz tags—well so far anyway.

But I think it might be salvageable.  I’ve tried really hard through this process to stick to the “spirit” of Tim’s tags which, to me, is the techniques that he teaches with each tag.  Since I didn’t have the products, or even similar products, that he used, I went with making it look about the time.

Tim used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the trees and used his die (of course) to cut the deer out.  I have neither of these.  I really like how it turned out until the deer.  I cut the deer (and trees) out with my Cricut and it just didn’t turn out to be the right size.  However, there’s another deer that I will be able to cut out and use instead of this deer.  I figured that out after I got this card finished.  I’ll probably cut a new one to replace this poor little guy!!!

Of course, Tim has all 12 tags finished now.  I’ve got four more to go and will be working on those  tonight and tomorrow!

I had such a great day yesterday.  My sister and niece came over and helped me get some Christmas stuff out and then we all went shopping.  We stopped at the Salvation Army thrift store to drop off the toys we had purchased for needy children but didn’t find much there to purchase.   Then we headed out for some fun shopping—even going to the mall.  Yes, our town of over 300,000 has ONE mall!!!  I try very hard to stay away from that neck of the woods at Christmas time.

I have some really WONDERFUL news to share with you.  Do you remember my niece’s wedding I blogged all about in August 2009?  She’s pregnant.  I think she’s only eight weeks along and we are all so very excited for her!!!  We’ll have another baby in the house at Christmas next year!  I’m an over-the-top excited!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Another Tim Tag (5)

Yes, another one! 

I’m loving making these tags, not only because they are beautiful and fun to make, but Tim is teaching us so many techniques along the way.  Some of the techniques from today’s tag I have already learned from the Compendium of Curiosities challenge.

This is the tag where I realized that my tags weren’t the correct size.  I didn’t have Tim’s label die so used a smaller on from PTI and it didn’t even fit.  I had to cut it down a lot.  I also changed the colors on this tag to better fit my style.  I colored Santa’s face with Copics.  I also added a little homemade flower soft to his hat!

I’ll be posting number 6 pretty soon but I need to get going on 7, 8, 9 and 10.  Whew!!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Tim Tag 3

I had what Tim used this time (with minor substitutions), except the tree stamp.  However, I wanted to put a real branch (off of my butterfly bush) on my tag for the birds to sit on so I didn’t need the tree stamp!!!  I also added a little chipboard bird from GCD Studios.

Instead of using a sticker, I had to use a piece I cut out of the Holiday stack.  Weird, but I ended up using the exact same design, however, the paper is bigger than the sticker so I had to cut it down a bit.

I really need to get caught up (he just posted tag 8 and I love it!) so I’m going to try my hardest to get at least two tags done tomorrow.  I’ve got my M5D card made for Thursday’s release so I can really concentrate on the tags.  Plus, I really need to get back to my ornament making. 

I’m kind of waiting for things to dry up a bit outside so I can go out to the shed to get my tree and stuff but it doesn’t look like it’s going to.  Maybe my sis will come over and help me out on Saturday.  We can spread out a tarp in case we have to take some boxes out to get what we need.  It’s pretty crowded in there!!!

So, I’ll be in my studio ALL DAY tomorrow.  How fun is that!!!  I might take a side trip to Archivers because I need some supplies for Tim’s tags.

I’ll be back tomorrow!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Tim’s Tags–Day 1

I finally made a chance to work on Tim Holtz tags.  I was planning on going to the store to get some supplies for my Christmas ornaments but then I woke up with a migraine.  Since I had to take some pain killers, I couldn’t go to the store.  Working on Tim’s tags even took my headache away!!! Yay!

Here’s my version.  I don’t have the dies that he used so I cut out my own house, used a wooden fence from my stash.  I made what was supposed to be a tree using the Martha Stewart fern leaf punch and then made a cute little bow with real vintage bias tape—the bright green.  Then I put a little bow on it!!! 

Love this tag.  I love things with houses (that’s a Brave Girl thing) and my life word (I just made up that term) is “BELIEVE.”  Just love it!!!

I got two of them done today.  I’ll be scheduling the 2nd one to post tomorrow.  I’m hoping to get the 3rd one today—it’s my favorite one so far.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I’ll see you tomorrow!!!

Blessings,

Christine

The challenge at the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge is the double distress technique.  Loved it!!!  As usual, I’ve been making a tag for the challenge.

Beautiful, huh?  Glitter and distress!!!  As I said before, I love doing tags because I just kinda’ fly by the seat of pants in putting them together!!!

Imagined Life

I made this tag for the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge that Linda from Studio L3 hosts, but once again, I’m too late and once again, I promise I’m going to start the challenge earlier this time!!!  The challenge this week was the Perfect Distress technique.  I loved it, especially with this image because it gives the wet, rainy look to this image!  It’s made of Distress Ink, Tim Holtz stamps and Perfect Pearls with a little ribbon from my stash thrown in!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp and Show--Favorite tim holtz stamp

Numbers Tag

Just a quick post tonight for my project using the Compendium of Curiosities challenge and the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge.  Once again, I was able to combine these two wonderful challenges.  Thank goodness that the CCC challenge was for two weeks because I didn’t get a chance to work on it last week.  Plus, I had a heck of time with this technique and tag—it’s a triple try!!!

I won’t get into details here and bore you but this is as much work as I have put into a simple little tag!  And to top it all off, I couldn’t get a good picture.  I only  brought a few supplies with me so I had to make do with what I had.  I went and raided my sis’ craft supplies to find the yarn to use in the tag!

I’m very sleepy tonight so I’m going to keep this short.  I’m getting up early to put some chicken soup on.  I’m going to make chicken and dumplings for dinner for when the girls get home tomorrow.  With it Columbus Day on Monday, everybody is still off work until Tuesday so no one will have to be rushing home!

I hope you all have a beautiful and peaceful Sunday!!!

Blessings,

Christine

All supplies are Tim Holtz stamps, Distress Inks, Fragments.

Wishes

Once again, I was able to play along with Linda’s Compendium of Curiosities Challenge.  While I was at the store the other day, I picked up a couple of Tim’s masks for the current challenge, Masks Basics but do you think I could find them when I was ready to make my tag. No-ooo!  But I used some butterfly stencils that I had instead.  I am loving Linda’s challenge because I’m trying a lot of things that I wouldn’t normally do.  I decided to make a tag this time because I wasn’t really sure what I was doing so let’s just start small. 

I started by sponging Victorian Velvet Distress Ink over a couple of butterfly stencils and then some Spun Sugar around the butterflies.  Then I inked Tumbled Glass on the surrounding areas with some more Victorian Velvet around the edges.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and then used Distress embossing powder.  Some of the embossing powder stuck to the butterflies and other surrounding ink that was still not quite dry, but it was a happy accident.  I really liked how it turned out.  I made a couple of rosettes out of wrinkly rayon seam binding with a MS butterfly and button.  For a complete “fly by the seat of my pants” creation, I really like how it turned out.  Isn’t it great when that happens!!!!

That’s all for now!  I hope your weekend is going well so far!

Blessings,

Christine

Spooky

I got a slow start on the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge hosted by Linda at Studio L3, but I’ve participated in every challenge since.  Well, I was late on one.  Only by an hour or two, but it had closed anyway!  So, this weeks challenge is to use the Grungepaper Flowers technique and her is my try at it.  I almost blew it but I had a happy mistake.  I pulled out what I thought was my gel medium and started attaching small pieces of book print to the grungepaper.  Well, guess what?  It wasn’t gel medium it was gesso.  So, I decided to go with it and applied the Distress Ink anyway and cut out the flowers.  Yay, it worked great.  It gave an even more grungy look because the layers on the flowers came apaprt a bit. 

I typed out the work “spooky” in a scary looking font, colored it with Copics and then attached pins to the letters using Glossy Accents.  A lot of Glossy Accents to fill in each pin top.  I stamped some Tim Holtz stamps with various colors of Distress Ink and used a little Foilage flower to the center of the grungepaper flower.  I really like how it turned out!!!  A fun Halloween tag!

It has worked out that I have been able to combine my Compendium of Curiosities challenge with the new Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge as well.  The SSSS challenge is to make a project for one of the upcoming holidays.  What a perfect wat to combine the challenges!!!

Blessings,

Christine

I can’t believe that I hadn’t found grunge board/paper before now.  But now that I have, I only have one complaint.  It stinks!!!  I mean it has an unpleasant odor!  But, it’s a dream to craft with!  Plus, I love another thing Tim Holtz related.  This bird cage die!!!  It even works with butterflies.  While I was working on the lawn today, I found two butterflies that were having a hard time flying.  I brought each one onto the deck and placed them on the table and when I got back, they were gone.  I sure hope they were okay!!!

Happy Labor Day everyone.  I hope you have some fun plans!!!
