Creative Flare Cards: April tag - Steam Guy
http://creativeflarecards.blogspot.com/2015/04/april-tag-steam-guy.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. April tag - Steam Guy. This is my interpretation of Tim's tag for April. I've been looking for something to use the Steam Guy from Time Travelers on, and this turned out to be the coolest tag! The stamp sets used are Time Travelers (CMS 157) and Simple Sayings (CMS 155) by Stampers Anonymous. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Confessions of a Paperholic.

Creative Flare Cards: Cute and Quick Watercolor Card
http://creativeflarecards.blogspot.com/2015/01/cute-and-quick-watercolor-card.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Cute and Quick Watercolor Card. This card was inspired by "duck" tape (you can see a piece of the tape at the top of my craft mat). It had such cute and simple elephant designs, I decided to use that as a model to carve my own stamp. Because the stamp is a solid image, it works really well with the stain-to-stamp method of creating a watercolor look. ANY solid image stamp will work well for this technique. Any part of the image that does not stamp just right can be smoothed out ...

Creative Flare Cards: March Tag!
http://creativeflarecards.blogspot.com/2015/03/march-tag.html
Sunday, March 8, 2015. A fun tag for this month, and I have made a version of the tag using the same techniques and my own favorite colors and stamps. You can check out Tim's blog at. First, I created a collage on a #8 Manila tag using Idea-ology "Sketchbook" tissue tape. Next, I smeared Distress Paint onto my craft sheet and misted it with water. The colors here are: Tarnished Brass (my favorite for the week! Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Pumice Stone, Crushed Olive and Wild Honey. Sprinkle gold ...

Creative Flare Cards: February Tag
http://creativeflarecards.blogspot.com/2015/02/february-tag.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Here's a little copy-cat action for February! Tim Holtz's tag for this month can be found at http:/ timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2015-february/. Mine's a little different, but the techniques I used were the same, so I'll keep it short and just include a supply list. Background paper came from the "Lost and Found" and "Crowded Attic" paper stashes. Tissue tape is from the "Sketchbook" collection. Game spinner, fragment, and ring fastener. Clock stamp is "Clockworks" by Stampin' Up.

Creative Flare Cards: July 2013
http://creativeflarecards.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Hello, Lovely Make and Take, part V - the final chapter. Fortunately, we did not have any significant damage to our belongings, but the crate where I had all my Stampin' Success magazines got wet. While the property manager and maintenance guy were working on the house, I was sitting in the corner with my heat tool, drying out my magazines. Made me feel as if I was doing something useful, and the Stampin' Success collection will survive :). On with the show! This project is so f...

Monday, January 19, 2015. Copycat Tag of Tim's January 2015 creation. Tim Holtz has begun another year of tags, and January's had some fun techniques that I wanted to try and share with you. The link to Tim's tag is http:/ timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2015-january. I love Tim's work, but unless you're independently wealthy, hopelessly obsessed, or work for Ranger Industries, you probably don't have everything. That Tim uses on hand. Sometimes we have to go for the next best thing. Like Tim, give it a bit of s...

Tuesday, May 6, 2014. A little therapeutic "Tim Time". If you're not familiar with Tim Holtz, as a blog-surfing crafter you should be.
