Christmas Vintage tag

I thought I would share a vintage tag that I made for a swap I was in. I used a size 8 tag that I cut out with the Tim Holtz die. I then embossed it with the Tim Hoptz Christmas embossing folder.The paper I used is from the Tim Holtz Seasons paper collection. I dded distress ink from the Tim Holtz winter collection. I used a strip of green Coordinations paper on the bottom of the tag and embossed it with a border from, you guessed it, the Tim Holtz Christmas embossing border collection. I was in a very Tim Holtz's frame of mind. The poinsetta on the bottom is from Making Memories and the tiny rosebuds are from a swap I was in over at a LSH. I used a Tim Holtz's fragment and made the pendant on the top of the tag. The paper is from the same paper pad as the rest of it. I cut out some of the vintage snow images and popdoted that to the tag. I have a box of those flakes in my Christmas stuff from my Great grandmothers Christmas stuff. I have it all wrapped and protected and NOT opened. I added some ribbon to the top that I believe is from Stampin' Up but dont quote me on that. For the back of the tag I stamped a Tim Holtz image in the winter collection distress ink and added a Merry Christmas stamp to the top. I made a border at the bottom of the tag with Tim Holtz's tissue tape. I loved the images on them so left them as is. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the true Reason For The Season.

Frames and Things

I have been busy getting stuff done and just plain crafting. My kids are gone for most of the day and so I have plenty of time to get stuff done.

This is a frame I made for a craft night at church

I made this frame for my friends daughters new room.

I made this Christmas frame with punches from Martha Stewart. I love this snowman punch so much!

This little guy door hanger was a make and take at my Close To My Heart consultants house. I think he turned out fabulous and I hope she makes one in Santa for Christmas.

ATC cards

Here are a few of the projects I have been working on. I have been sick for a while off and on and its really cutting into my crafting time. I handmade the sequin flowers on the top. The punch is a Martha Stewart Butterfly. I stamped the sentiment that says Celebrate the Day. I used a Seal for the gold flower on the bottom.
For the second one I glimmer misted the card in Vintage Pink. I embossed the Eifle tower stamp in copper embossing powder. I inked the edges in walnut stain distress ink. For the adage ticket I distressed the whole thing in worn lipstick. I added popdots to the back of the tag and added a Tim Holtz memo pin to the backside of the ticket before I put the popdots down. I stamped the image and inked the edges in worn lipstick and added it to the memo pin. I finished the second ATC off with a vintage cream rose in the bottom corner. Thanks for looking.
