Wednesday Gel-a-tins - Doggie Treat Bag

This is my Wednesday Gel-a-tins Post. This week I used the Cosmo Pups stamp set to create this treat bag. I plan to make these for Dusty's Birthday party at the end of the month - she'll be 12 on Leap Day!! For all the details check out the Gel-a-tins Blog.

Tim Holtz February Tag 2012

This tag was inspired by the tag Tim Holtz made for his new 12 Tags of 2012. I am entering it into the Grungy Monday 36 Challenge. I'm also entering in the Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything Goes Challenge. You can get the materials used on this tag at www.simonsaysstamp.com.

The background was embossed in white and then covered with Distress Inks. The Distress Inks I used were Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Victorian Velvet and Festive Berries. I also used Worn Lipstick Distress Stickles & Embossing Powder on the heart. On the Cupid I used Festive Berries Distress Ink and Barn Door Stickles. I died the ribbon with Spun Sugar Distress Stain. I cut the letters out of the Seasonal Papers Pack. The velvet trim is from Crate Paper. I heated the Distress Stickles on the cupid and he got a little bumpy - but I'm doing that Tim thing of "embracing my imperfections."

For those of you who have asked about the Yahoo Group I am in called All Things Tim - just go to Yahoo and search for it and ask to be admitted into the group. You can tell them I sent you. It's just a fun place where people who love to use Tim Holtz products get together and discuss crafty things. Thanks for taking a look!

CAS Hero Arts Card Set

I am now going to be teaching card making classes at my local stamping store called The Stamping Place & Scrapbook Station. I wanted to come up with a CAS set of cards that students could make in a couple of hours. I used the Hero Arts/Sizzix set called Playful Flowers & Butterflies. The sentiments are from the Hero Arts set called Essential Messages. All the images have dies which makes it so much easier than cutting them!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Grungy Monday 35 - Holtz-ian ATC

This is my second post of the day. If you're looking for the winner of the Blog Candy look at the previous post.

I finally got some time to make a quick ATC for the Grungy Monday 35 Challenge to make an ATC in the style of Tim Holtz. I made one with this grunge board heart and crown and a Tim Holtz flower. I colored the canvas with Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet and Milled Lavender Distress Inks. Thanks for stopping by!!
