Mickey Boo!

Hello and welcome, 

Here comes a card with the cute Mickey figure made with dies from Spellbinders. I have been waiting a looong time for these dies to arrive in Sweden. 

I am a Mickey and Minnie fan so these dies was an absolute must have. 🙂. With inspiration from Tim’s live with these dies and his free watercolor Christmas class together with Simon say stamps I made this shaker card.

I started with the Mickey figure. I colored different pieces of Watercolor cardstock with Distress inks, and cut out all the pieces. Inked all the edges with Scorched timber DI. Glued the pieces together with Distress collage medium. Then I stamped the pumpkin from CMS250 Mini bird crazy & things on Watercolor paper and colored it with Distress inks. Fuzzy cut the pumpkin and inked the edges. 

Then I cut out a piece of Watercolor cardstock and die cut the “BOO!” word. I inked my craft sheet with Distress inks and sprayed some water. Dipped the paper, dried between layers until happy. Then I stamped the webs with Distress embossing ink and used black embossing powder. Heated with embossing gun. Inked the edges with Scorched timber DI. 

I made a shaker card with inspiration from Tim’s Christmas class with Simon says stamp. I used die cut bats in my shaker card, (an inspiration from a friend). The eyes and highlight on the wings are made with a white Posca pen. 

I inked the “BOO!” word with Distress inks and sprayed some water. Inked the edges and then glued it to the acetate. I also diecut a spider from black cardstock, gave him a pair of eyes with a white Posca pen and glued it to the card. 

I adhered Mickey to the card with 3D foam for dimension. Then I mounted my card to a cardblank.

It was a very fun card to make!🤗🙂

Trick or Treat

Hello and welcome,

The Halloween making has finally started🎃. I have used Tim Holtz products for this card. 

The background is inspired by a background Zoey Scarpelli made some weeks ago, an embossed background with Distress paint on top. 

I painted a piece of Mixed media cardstock with white Distress paint, dried, then stamped some images with Distress embossing ink and used Clear embossing powder, heated. Then painted Ground espresso paint over, let dry a bit, and used a lightly damp piece of paper and swept over the background and embossed areas. All edges on this project are inked with Scorched timber Distress ink. 

I glued some old book pages to Distress Mixed media cardstock with Distress collage medium, then diecut the pumpkin. I colored the pumpkin pieces with Distress Watercolor pencils and Distress inks. 

The piece in the very back is a black piece of paper that I have used Grit paste glow on. 

I diecut some leaves from Watercolor cardstock, inked with Distress inks. Dipped and dried until happy. I inked some cheesecloth as well.

The “Trick or Treat” is diecut two times, one time in black cardstock and the second time in Mixed media heavystock. Then I inked the Mixed media one with Distress inks in orange and red Distress inks. Inked the edges with Scorched timber DI. I glued them together a little bit off set. 

I diecut two bats and a spider and used a white Posca pen to give them some eyes. 

I will try this card in a challenge over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge - Add some text.

TV-shop/service tag

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have a tag to share. When Tim released the small tv-die I knew exactly what I was going to make! 

Here is the result:

I used an Etcetera tag as a base for this tag.

I used some Tim Holtz designpaper as a background, and then I used stamps and stencils on the paper. I used my sewing machine around the edges. 

As it was when these tv:s were in the shops there was various kinds of “frames”. For example tree, plastic or metal. The customers could choose from different colors and also if they wanted a black/white tv or a color tv. 

I used wood veneer in various colors on some of the tv:s and metal or paper on some of the frames. I also used photos of the “test piqture” that was shown between the programmes on Swedish television when I was a child.  There was only two channels to choose from, and if you wanted to change channel you had to switch on a button on the actual tv, no remote controls. 🙂

I don’t have the small mat box die that fits with this tv-die so I made the boxes myself. 

I used overhead plastic for the glass on the tv:s.

Metallic paper for some of the antennas. And some hardware heads for the “sign”.

I used etcetra trims as shelves for the tv:s. All metallic paper used on this tag is sanded and then inked with Distress ink Scorched timber.

I will try this tag over at Simon says stamp - Monday challenge - Add some metal

Birthday card for a friend

Hello and welcome, 

Long time since I publisehed here now. 

But today I will share a birthday card for a friend who turned 60.

I started with the background, Watercolor cardstock. Inked my craft sheet with Distress Oxides in Bundled sage, Shabby shutters and Peeled paint, sprayed with water and “dipped” the card. Dried with Heat tool and repeated until happy. Used a stencil THS183 Deco feather than Distress ink Peeled paint on the stencil and some water. Then I did a mono print.

Then I used the same DI and the same stencil and used a blending tool through the stencil.

Then I used another stencil THS138 Bubbles and some crackle glaze. Inked the edges and stitched the edges with my sewing machine. 

I stamped “60” with CMS483 with Hickory smoke Archival ink, then I offset the stamps and stamped with Archival ink and then used clear embossing powder. Heated with heat tool. 

I stamped some images from CMS396 Field notes and CMS 448 Eccentric on the background as well.

I used CMS 463 “make a wish” stamp, Distress embossing ink and black embossing powder to make the decor circle. I fastened it with a Ideaology Tiny clip.

I stamped the one of the flowers from CMS479 Abstract florals on Watercolor paper and colored with Distress inks. Fuzzy cut and inked the edges with Scorched timber Distress ink. 

I cut a piece of cardboard, inked the edges with Scorched timber DI and mounted the background. Then I used a piece of “greenish” cardstock with 3D foam between layers. Finally I made a black card base.

I will try this card over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge - Happy Birthday!
