Tim Holtz Creative Chemisty 2 Online Class

Tomorrow starts Tim Holtz Creative Chemisty Online Class 2. Here is a little project I've been working on this weekend getting ready for another exciting Tim Holtz class.

Make It Monday #134: Repeat + Lift

A few months ago Nicole Heady created a project that used a technique she like to call Repeat + Lift.  The technique involved generation stamping (repeat) and then adhering the coordinating die cut on top of it with foam tape (lift).

Supplies~ PTI Orange Zest, Scarlet Jewel ink, Scarlet Jewel CS, Wonderful Words BIRTHDAY and die, sequins.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

September Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

 

The holidays are just around the corner and in any store you stumble into the aisles are decked out with new decor, including wreaths. Papertrey's August Blog Hop challenge is to dig out a favorite wreath stamp set, layer small die-cuts & punches or even use unconventional materials like buttons or rhinestones to create a wreath on the front of a festive card.  Make a fall-themed card, embrace the upcoming holidays or just something pretty to use for an everyday greeting.  Have fun experimenting with fun color combinations and layers of texture!  We look forward to seeing your creations!

My card for this month's challenge uses the Birds and Blooms anniversary set,Holiday Wonderful words "peace", vintage music paper, Tim Holtz glassine paper, Chevron horizontal CP and gold embossing.

Thanks for stopping by!   Enjoy Papertrey's September Blog Hop.  Have a blessed day!

Make It Monday #131: Striped Embossing

This week's MIM technique was to use multiple embossing powders on the same embossed stamp making a striped design.  I'm not sure this is one of my favorite techniques. I could not see the embossing after I stamped the image. This is definitely one of those techniques I will need to practice more and improve on. But it has been such a busy week at work that I'm glad to be getting this card submitted under the wire, and I need to be ready to order some PTI later this evening!

Supplies: PTI Autumn Pattern Prints, Wonderful Words BIRTHDAY, Birthday Bash, Embroidered Blooms. INK~ aqua mist, classic kraft, blueberry sky, hibiscus burst, hawaiian shores, Zing embossing powder.

SAF "Sprinkle of Salt"

How much fun is it to add salt to stamping! We all have grown up with someone saying "Watch your salt intake". Well I'm here to tell you no more! I added salt to each strip of re-inker as I painted so the salt would stick to the paint and paper while it was still nice and wet. After letting it dry for about 15 minutes I rubbed off the excess salt and had this fun salt splotchy look to my card front.

Ingredients: PTI re-inkers in Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet and Raspberry Fizz(old formula).

The card base is Raspberry Fizz with a Lemon Tart painted topper, and the sentiment is from Birthday Bash in Versamark Black.

My second card using salt and Elmer's glue
