hat gives you a great watermark like effect then stamp in a darker color the bottle image stamp the entire tag with versamark ink coat in embossing powder and heat until the powder is set into a glossy finish and that s it aren t they lovely my plan is to use these on some packages for the holidays just adding a monogram sticker or something simple and a note on the back perhaps i jus adore these bottle stamps so fancy and the coordinating text stamp is going to be used a lot around here as well i m sure i just love this process for making quick sturdy fabulous tags that could act as page embellishments adorn gifts or even be for a card what s even more fun i m going to give a set of pink persimmon stamps away aren t they so vintage chic i love them but i m going to share that

standard i don t have a ton of share able pages in my december daily album at this point there are a lot of text only printed recipes and visually boring things at this time there are no photos as i ve not developed any up until now not a lot of craftiness either ah but yesterday s trip to san francisco and our visit with santa made me want to play i took the photo and scanned it first so i have a digital back up in case something happens to this one or the paper which i can t belive is super high quality fades and the photo is ruined somehow in doing so i realized that the top of the red paper frame has a slit and that the photo can come in and out of it so i removed the photo mounted the red frame onto kraft cardstock and got to playing i cut out some foil mounted on grunge paper embossed and painted it with my new precious jenni bowlin paint dabber in seed packet a la tim holtz enameled metal technique then well then i got greedy added other colors and generally made a muck of it but that is ok i just die cut a deer and stuck that over it a bit to cover for my craptastic effort it works i took my new embossing powder just plain clear snowflake tim holtz stamp for a test drive since i do not want anything messing with this photo i put plastic into the photo frame when stamping emboss powdering so that none got in the photo area and gunked it up a little heat later i did 3 snowflakes some green patina mist i also stitched around the very edges because this is all about the creative play then i just attached some trim felt shapes and my die cut and ink edged reindeer foiled heh embossed foil and it was done a 30 minute crafty session and yesterday s visit to santa is already in the books no adhesive is touching the photo so it can still be removed if i so desire or need oh and i edged the red frame kraft edge with gold dabber paint i swear i use that on everything these days supplies tim holtz snowflake stamp tim holtz vintage holiday texture fade tim

scrapbooking classes 9 comments dec 9 day 16 tim inspired tag posted on december 9 2011 by mflaum standard i adore the tim holtz 12 tags of christmas it s like taking 12 mini tim classes in awesomeness i always come away with new ideas and techniques i m reminded to do more often that said as i mentioned in yesterday s post this is a time of year when multi tasking is a good idea and time is as short as daylight is so my solutions are several the first being that i wanted to play so i mixed matched some techniques from tags 4 6 and 7 mix match works great as well because i don t have a lot of the things tim uses so it allows me to play without frustration of wishing i had the right thing to make stuff happen true story i am awful at remembering how to what happens every single time is that i think i remember it right set off on my own then end up changing things because i mixed up ideas or products whoops sometimes ahem my attempt at tag 5 it ends in disaster and frustration other times i end up with something unique and made of awesome my snowman falls luckily into the awesome category i wanted to do the painted foil technique tim did tag 6 because i love that foil sheet stuff and i thought i could combine that look with the die cut within a die cut tag 4 so here s what i did how it went down foil placed face down on cutting mat grunge paper set on top and pressed firmly onto it then die cut in snowman shape then i ran it back through the die cut machine using my brick texture fade i wanted to use snowflakes or something christmas y but alas i do not have any that would work ok i love it just like that ah i m such a fan of the foil anyhow i wanted to do that awesome enamel paint thing so i pulled out paint err except my paint is pretty much all neutral colors so i did pearl silver which is a darker silver than the foil but i also dotted a bit of blue alcohol ink on as you can see it ended up blending becoming a bit too subtle too that s ok i have a plan first i die cut a snowflake out of him then i sanded him lightly to get some of the foil showing back through the sanding block worked fine for this will be totally doing the technique again ah but here s where i wanted to keep kicking it up more notches what i really wanted was more blue but distress ink really ain t gonna stick here oh wait but i could cover it with utee and then it would be sealed in i know tim talked about this in one of the tag posts but it wasn t enough so i did it again with distress stain and re coated re embossed above you see the before heat gun gets involved version now we are talking i added some kraft paper glossy accents inside behind the die cut area and set frosty aside to dry time for the tag i just did the usual put inks on craft mat swipe damp tag through classic tim holtz technique i then stamped a flourish with pearl dabber paint there wasn t quite as much color on the background as i wanted so i splatted my distress stains a bit on there roll with it bam there you have it my finished tag the snowflake that got die cut is up at the top along with a metal charm i used snow cap blue alcohol ink on and then sanded my trim was white i used faded jeans stain water to dye it three tags into one and in a way that is uniquely my own love that i can t suggest enough that you read up www timholtz typepad com for ideas tutorials and videos from this series it s a seriously awesome christmas gift from him that i enjoy every year now i just love the color texture i wound up with on this tag here are links to the
