Another April Tim Tag and a Video

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· April 4, 2014

I finally finished the VIDEO for my April Tag for Tim's Tags of 2014 but…I couldn't let the day go by without showing you something new so I created a second version too. You can see the ORIGINAL TAG post HERE. The Video is below as well as a couple of Paper Flower Videos. You can Subscribe to my You Tube Channel for more Paper Crafting Videos. Thanks so much for visiting! 😀

Begin by prepping the tag as detailed in THIS post HERE.
Cut a piece of Chipboard using the TH Scrollwork On the Edge Die.
Paint the die with Broken China Distress Paint and allow to dry.

Sand lightly and apply Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the top and sides of the die. This will give it a distressed, almost rusty, look.
The rest of the tag was created using the same techniques as the Video Below.

Here's the Video for the first April 2014 Tag. (The Alternate Flower Videos Below as well.)

Lion Card in Shades of Tan and Brown

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· April 1, 2014

I've never been a "girly-girl" but it always surprises me that browns and tans are my favorite colors. I decorated my entire house in those shades! I find them inviting and soothing. I try to remember to use other colors in my Card Making and Paper Crafting Projects but it is tans and browns that make me the happiest.

I also love animal prints and lions. (I decorated my house in those too! LOL) In fact, I was roaming around my house looking for "props" to put in the photo and I noticed that the background of this card was very similar to the walls in my Living Room (which is my favorite room in the house)! I included a picture to show you. Funny!

Put a few different Distress Inks and/or Stains onto a Craft Sheet. (I used Gathered Twigs and Brushed Cordury Distress Stains and a Scattered Straw Distress Ink Pad.) Spritz with Water and swipe a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Manila Cardstock through the inks and heat set.

Drop a few water droplets onto the cardstock and heat set.

Stamp the Lion from the SU! Zoo Review Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip Ink onto the manila card.
Ink the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

Create a 1-7/8" x 3-5/8" Tag in the same manner as the card.
Stamp the sentiment from TH Life's Possibilities Stamp Set in Versamark Ink onto the Tag and emboss with Clear Embossing Powder.
Apply Frayed Burlap Distress Ink to the edges of the tag with a Blending Tool.
Cut a piece of Early Espresso Cardstock to 4" x 1-3/4" and punch the top with the Tag Topper Punch.
Punch the tag with the Tag Topper Punch, layer onto the Early Espresso Tag and embellish the hole with a TH Reinforcer Sticker.

Ink a couple of Salvage Stickers from the French Industrial Pack with Distress Ink.
Cut a piece of Burlap and pull a few of the strings out from the edges.
Cut a 4-1/4" x 11" card from Soft Suede Cardstock. Score and fold at 5-1/2"
Layer a piece of 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" Early Espresso Cardstock onto the Soft Suede Card.
Adhere the card front to the card. Attach the Burlap, embellishments and tag.
Cut a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock and sponge with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. Adhere to the inside of the card.
