Tim Holtz - March - 12 Tags of 2015

Hi all,

Some of you know that I am doing the 12 Tags of 2015 with Tim Holtz Blog. I decided to do this so I can learn new tip and tricks and new techniques using all of the fantastic TH/Ranger products I own. So each month you create a tag with instructions from Tim on how to achieve the same tag or a tag using the same technique that he has created with TH products, all year long.

So my tag did not quit turn out like I wanted, it's actually kind of plain but I did use the techniques he instructed on the blog for the March 2015 Tag. I wanted to give a different look to the tag and used a colored embossing powder with the Rays stencil (love that stencil) especially with Easter upon us, I wanted some bright color in it.

Well here it is:  Since I didn't have the products he used with his tag, I used what I had on hand.

First I applied inks broken china, seedless preserve, evergreen bough, spun sugar, spiced marmalade on top of the tissue tape. Tissue tape used was butterflies and dictionary words.

I used the #3 to symbolize March with the little March calendar popped up next it from the ephemera package.

Used a metal rose painted with spun sugar and a metal tag with twine.

The stamp is the Tim Holtz - French Flight it comes with the die cuts by sizzix.  Used the butterfly stamp and embossed with black embossing powder. I cut out a mask to place over the stamp image to apply the texture paste. (as Tim did in the tutorial on the blog)

The stencil I used is Rays along with the texture paste, applied cayenne embossing powder on top of the texture paste then used the heat gun to achieve the technique Tim used on his tag. (Tim used a gold embossing powder with his texture paste)

Well entering my March 2015 Tag into the challenge. 

If you get a chance to go by Tim's blog you should definitely stop by there is so much Inspiration, I am not even kidding. I love looking at all the tags that people do so many creative and talented people there. :D

Thanks for visiting. Hugs ~ Deborah 

A Tooth Fairy that Twinkles

Hi all,

Today I get to share a special gift I made for a special someone, my granddaughter. Although she hasn't lost any teeth yet, actually she's still getting her teeth in. lol   I got an early start on her little Tooth Fairy Box. This little box uses a stamp from Crafty Sentiments Designs Shop "Twinkle Fairy", she is just cute. Love this stamp, as I was using her idea's kept popping up in my head on how to use her. She is so versatile, you can use for cards, scrapbook pages and other crafting projects.

My Tooth Fairy box is on the Inspirational Blog so please stop by and leave a comment for me. I would really appreciate it. :D  If you want to see this stamp or go to the Inspirational Blog just click on the names the links will take you directly to the pages you want to see.

Well won't delay any longer, here is my box... I will list instructions on top of the each photo.

***Colored my images with copics and cut out image with Spellbinders die. 

The box I used is a wooden box from Michaels. I painted white then sprayed with 

Prima Marketing Color Bloom sprays and once dried went over it with a little

Distress ink faded jeans (not heavily).  

The stars are made with the TH Stars stencil and I textures paste mixed with

Distress Mustard Seed paint (mixed) and then apply. It dries pretty fast. After it 

dried I applied Stickles to the Stars. I drew some tooth images and 

printed out, then applied stickles around them. Used Wink of Stella Clear on her 

wings and outfit. 

***I placed some sparkles in her hair and around her***

To get the night sky I colored the stars yellow then heat embossed with clear 

embossing powder and then when over with my distress inks. 

The clear embossing prevents the ink from coloring the stars. 

To get my night sky I used TH Distress inks - chipped sapphire, 

broken china & a little seedless preserves. 

Applied lace around the box. 

***The box comes in two pieces. I adhered two hinges in the back so it becomes

one piece. I placed a little pillow inside for the tooth and I wrote a little

saying applied to the inside lid with pink string pearls, another tooth with

sparkles. I went around the saying with Distress Ink,

***Would like to give a special Thank You to Jennifer McGuire who shared her idea on how to 

make a Night Sky. Clink the link below her name if you would like see how she did hers. :D

Thank you Jennifer
