Make It Monday # 172: Rainbow Medallions take two

I decided to try out a tag for a change. I really wanted a bookmark so I made this.

I used one of the Mighty Oak leaves for my rainbow medallion that Dawn shows us 

how to make on this weeks MIM. A few different Tim stamps and I played with a couple different techniques.  Any questions, don't hesitate to ask!! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Make It Monday #115: Beyond Paper with Impression Plates

You would never believe me if I told you I jumped for joy when I saw this week's MIM .
I have a recycle/reuse/re-purpose drawer that is bulging at the seams. When I saw that I could get rid of a few things I was ecstatic to say the least!

 For my first venture "out of the box" I decided to use a piece of packaging I saved from a wallet my
hubby got for Christmas. It was the perfect size and already had the stitching done for me, hurray!

Here's the Father's Day card I made:

I embossed the leatherish piece with a Tim Holtz Texture Fade Folder. Die cut a Mat Stack 3 out of kraft CS. Stamped a tree from Father Knows Best as well as the sentiment with Classic Kraft ink. Colored the leaves with various markers and used a heart punch for the "apples" which I had to make shiny with glossy accents. Tied a little twine around the Mat Stack and adhered it with some foam tape. I also adhered the leather piece with foam tape onto a piece of Rustic Cream CS. Pretty simple I guess.

Hopefully I'll be back with some sort of remnant from something else, after all, I can't throw anything away!!    Thanks for looking!

You Make Me SMILE

I'm having a ball over at The Play Date Cafe. Please come and join us! There's still a whole day left to celebrate and add YOUR projects!!  I wanted to do a CAS(clean and Simple) card but it did not
turn out exactly as I planned. Oh well, that happens I guess!!  I incorporated the Make It Monday into my card by die cutting letters out of fun foam and using them as stamps just like Heather showed us on the video. A little challenging stamping them. Rather than use bottle caps like Heather suggests I used Perfect Pearls and other little jars of stuff I had on hand.  I don't need to add another item to my small crafting abode!!  Thanks for looking!!

Rickety Old House lantern

I first want to tell you that the quality of this picture is terrible and I apologize.
Another project for the celebration going on over at The Play Date Cafe . Having a ball with this!

The color is Aged Mahogony by Tim Holtz and it really looks awesome but you can't really tell.  Anyway, I die cut some card stock(grunge paper was an after thought) with the Rickety House by Tim Holtz. Embossed it with a brick Texture Fade. Inked it up and used a bit of Black Soot around the edges. Secured it around a battery operated tea light. Tied a bunch of twine together for some smoke and stapled it in place(with tiny attacher) and glued the chimney together. I die cut the letters out for the MIM challenge and then stamped them using blueberry Sky ink which came out like a true navy blue. Added some googly eyes and that was all.
Sits on the table all crooked too! I really like the way it turned out. I may make more of these with Grunge paper so they will hold up a bit longer. Thanks for looking!

Make It Monday(on Tuesday) #85: Glitter Tabs

 

 

Another take on the MIM , even though it's Tuesday. You have all week long to play along!

Dawn showed us how to glitterize our tabs and add them to a project.
Here is a tag that I made.
A little Martha Stewart glitter on the journaling tab that I added with a little scor-tape
and a glue pen.  I also die cut the parisian doily out of some black tissue paper. Added some
flowers and some tattered angels mist on this first side.

 

On the second side I inked it up with
some Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet and Seedless Preserves. Then I finished it off with Gathered Twigs.
A little washi tape and some miscellaneous recycled pearls I had from something.
That's about all for now.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and I love your comments, THANKS!!
