tv…


It truly was fun digging through old patterned papers, Tim Holtz dies and Tim Holtz stamps to create this card.
The base card is black card stock with layers of patterned paper for the wall paper and the rug.
I used dies from Tim Holtz Sizzix RETRO TV Bigz Die and “Vault Fright Night” with card stocks to create the TV and ghost.
Stamps came from Tim Holtz “Halloween Sketch Book”, Tim Holtz “Christmas Cartoons” and Picket Fence Studios “Not Scared? You should be!” sets.
All were glued and foam taped to create the finished card.

you…


For this tic-tac-toe I chose diecut-my choice-watercolor.
The base card is blue card stock.
The background piece is watercolor paper that I made a water color using a stencil, Distress inks and water.
With more blue card stock I die cut the sentiment from Tim Holtz “Bold Text #1” and glued it to the card front.
With Hero Arts “Autumn Messages” set (2021) I stamped the sentiment using Gina K Designs ink in the navy!



bliss…


You may look at these leaves and wonder…what the heck are they?
Well the base card is kraft card stock.
It is stamped with the sentiment from The Greetery “Autumn Bliss” set using Memento rich cocoa ink.
On more kraft card stock I smeared Ranger grit paste crypt mixed with Distress inks to match the challenge.
Once dry I cut them out with the Greetery co-ordinating dies.
These I glued to the card front with thick glue dots.


trick…


Washi tape was just what I needed for this sketch.
The base card is black card stock.
Next I used my favorite,very old, ghost punch with white card stock to punch out the ghost.
The washi tape was applied as per the sketch tucking the ghost in the upper washi tape.


thanks…

How deep and rich these colors are.
The base card is blue card stock.
On water color paper I stamped the Tim Holtz “Pressed Foliage” stamps with Distress inks like the picture.
Next I “smudged” them.
That means to stamp then wipe in a circular motion with a dry paper towel.
I applied that to the base card then cut a strip of card stock and applied that to the front of the card.
To finish I die cut more of the blue card stock using a die from Tim Holtz “Bold Text #1” and glued it to the card front.
