Tim Holtz inspiration

 

Tim posts a new tag on the 1st of every month.  Junes tag is full of lovely ideas.  For his step out photos of how to make his tag, click here.

Below is the tag Belinda made using the same techniques, but changing it up to suit her stamps.

Two ways to use one die

Belinda has created two different cards using the Tim Holtz Brick wall die as a base.

The first one she die cut acetate with the Brick wall die and then inked through the die cut to get the base of the card.  She then used her old Sizzix dies to make the rest of the embelishments and the Martha Stewart 5 blade scissors to make the grass.

 On the second card she die cut the paper with the Brick wall die and used double sided tape over the whole base of the card to keep the little bricks from falling out and then added the Couture Creations window on top.  The lace was added between a layer of packaging from the die itself and foam tape.  The roses were hand cut and rolled.

 

Scrapbooking using a Sticker Sheet

Alison has done this page using only a sticker sheet for your inspiration as well as the card below.

 The sticker sheet above is the one she used and then there is a matching alphabet one below that you could incorporate.

Land Ahoy!

Here is the first card Belinda has made for you this year.

She used the Tim Holtz embossing folder as a background which she inked with walnut stain, peeled paint and chipped saphire Distress inks.  Stamped (with archival ink) the Prima set of the ship, compas and anchor onto white cardstock, cut it out and inked it.

 

She did the same with the "Explore" bingo stamp from the set by Kaisercraft.  The ships sails were first covered with Glossy accents and left to dry, before the background colours were added.  On the small stamped compass, Belinda added glossy accents after she had inked it to add dimention.  She then pop dotted all the cut out stamps onto the embossed background, glued the front onto a kraft card and added some bakers twine as a final toutch of colour together with the shiny anchor at the top of the card.

These stamps and embossing folders, etc are currently available in store.
