12 Tags of 2013 - September

Hello world,

I can't imagine that it is September already. Time really flies.

This month Tim made it a joy for me to work the tag. I love layering stencil, I'm doing it for quite a while now. I even did a mirror with this technique once (click here for the mirror).

And even though I didn't get my hand on some Tim Stencils yet, I had a great time doing the tag.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Hello world,

Tim really took a simple principle and made a cool tag out of it with the most cool stamps. I love this stamp set it is very cool for making cards for men. You all know how hard it is.

Well I pretty much did the same thing as Tim did this time, except for the background where I used a bit other colours.

Her it goes, my edition of the August Tag:

Hello,

This month master of the Ranger universe Tim Holtz got out his Distress markers. I gladly put aside the project I'm working on to pull out mine, cause I absolutely love the Distress markers they are so versatile and easy to work with.

The background of the Tag itself was very fun doing too, using 3 different products of the Distress family (paint, stains and ink).

Tim used one of his favourite stamps, so I used some of my favourite stamps (no reason I should use Tim's favourite one when I have so many that I love too).

My choice of colours are mostly light colours to reflect the first rays of sunshine we are finally getting here in Belgium.

Thank you for reading, I hope you like my tag.

Hello World,

Finally I crafted again, after 2 months of health issues, I'm finally able to get creative again. And what better way to start then with Tim Holz's 12 tags of ...

So here I go the tag for May. (the March & April tag will follow soon).

I didn't have the remnant rubs so I substituted with some I still had in my stash. And the enamelled tag has been changed to an Idea-ology Fragments Charm.

Thank you for reading.

Hello everyone,

Today I finished my February tag. Tim made another very special and beautiful tag.

It got me thinking quite quickly because I'm not having all the supplies Tim used, actually I miss a lot of them. But that is ok. I take it as an extra challenge.

My final result

Tim used the heart queen stamp, I altered the Tim Holtz Birthday stamp to fit the Valentine theme a bit better. I didn't think that the candle did the trick.
I stamped on water colour paper and coloured it in with the distress markers and a water brush.
On the left you can see what the original stamp (CMS153 Birthday Blueprints) looks like, on the left a close-up from the tag.

To make the custom cash key, I didn't have the chitchat stickers, so I stamped one of the little stamps from the CMS100 Odds and Ends stampset by Tim Holtz. I cut out the words I wanted to use and adhered them to the red label with some gluestick before putting on the epoxy sticker.

 At the top of the tag I added some heart shaped rhinestones, they are very little and it is quit difficult to catch them on photo. The one in the middle shows it of the best.

I hope you like my version of this months tag.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful time.

First and foremost I want to wish all of you a very happy 2013 with lots of love and fantastic moments and a good health.

My creative year started already, no time like the present isn't it.

As I love the 12 tags of ... series by Tim Holtz I decided to do them this year. Here is my version of January.

 

12 tags of 2012 – may…

Here is my version of the may tag.  I must say the only tissue paper where I could stamp on was this pink one the others have a print that is quit busy so I couldn't use them.  This made the whole feeling of the tag. 

An other thing I learned is that stamping with really wet ink pads isn't the best as it bleeds a bit (or a lot depending on how wet it still is). So all in all I like what it has become...
