Tim Holtz Tag / Card holder  Have you all seen those glorious 'huge' Tim Holtz ETCETERA Tags...oh my! they are wonderful. I am going to be playing/experimenting on the medium size tag which measures 12 inches by 6 1/2 inches...and I plan to have fun!!! I wanted to make a tag card holder. Something that would look pretty and be useful as well. A place to store my handmade cards, something inspirational ! What I Used: *Tim Holtz Etcetera Medium sized tag *Maggie Holmes Handwritten patterned paper *Kaisercraft Flora Daisy Die  *Glue *Edge Distressing tool (my supplies) *a piece of cardboard 10 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches (my supplies to make a small box) *white gesso for edges of tag *Kaisercraft DIY Flora Daisy Die Set *extra bit'n'pieces you have laying around for decorations  To start, I made the box which is going to fit on the bottom of the thickboard tag. I used a piece of teal coloured cardboard 10 1/2 inches long by 5 1/2 inches high

Greeting Cards

Greeting Cards Welcome everyone to a brand New Year 2020!. I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and I'd like to wish you all many many blessings in 2020. At the start of every year, I like to get a 'jump' on my Happy Mail items and cards. I usually make about ten but they always seem to go so fast. You'd think I'd know to make more but hey,...I still haven't learnt!...LOL LOL... So, my first project for Aunty Vera this month is making some handmade cards that I can send in with my happy mail parcels. I wanted colour and circles!  What I Used: *Jane Davenport 'Colour is Hapiness"Stamp Set *White pre-folded cards *Tim Holtz Distress Archival Ink Set   -(fossiled amber, pickled raspberry, barn door and spiced marmalade) *a black marker *a white signo marker *a small 'Hello' stamp from my supplies *and some strips of masking tape for borders *a circle dabber *Black Stazon Ink To start I ripped some strips
