Poppies by Tim Holtz

This is a new fold for me and I used the flower stamps by Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.  They are colored with the Zig Clean Color Brush Tip Markers.

Tim Holtz Florals

I love this image of the daisy from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Florals.  It was colored with the Zig Clean Color Brush Tip Markers.

June Mojo class - stacks of cups

Mojo is coming next week!!  Remember the last of these classes will be in September!  This month we will be making two different cards with the Tim Holtz teacup die.  This one is made with papers from Our Daily Bread Designs.  Please be sure to let me know if and when you will be attending mojo next week!  Thanks

May Mojo Crazy Birds

Lovin' these Crazy Birds by Tim Holtz!!  I used the same stencil from yesterday's card but they look so different.  Bird and balloon is watercolored.   This card will be in the May Mojo class.  Let me know as soon as possible if you are planning on attending!

Hues of Sunset

 

Hues of Sunset is one of three cards in a series I will be teaching in my Blending Tool techniques classes in June. (Check my calendar for days and times) All three of the cards will be done at my gathering this weekend too!  I used the set 'Wildflower' (Stacy Stamps) for the cattails and Tim Holtz inks and blending tool for the coloring.  If you have not gotten one of these tools you should ... they are great and make coloring with inks so easy and fun. It you are interested in purchasing any of these supplies let me know and i will let you know my prices.

If any of my local customers would like to visit us at the gathering on Sunday from 1-3 that would be great.  You can see what a gathering is like if you have never attended, see samples for future classes, see samples, and shop in Pat and my stores. RSVP me by email before Friday morning if you are planning on a visit. Oh ... bring your scissors and have Mike sharpen them for you while you are there too!

I am on my deck writing this enjoying the beautiful sunshine!  Hope you are having a wonderful day.

November Mojo Class

It is time again for a Mojo class!  Here is one of the cards we will be making using Heartfelt Creation's Oak leaf background stamp.  I used the trio of new fall colors of Tim Holtz's Distress Inks for the background on white paper ... yes it is white not kraft!  I love the way it turned out.  I did not put words on the front but the inside has a Thanksgiving greeting.  Here is a close up look at the card.

Check out the calendar at the top for the dates and time for this class.  Please let me know by Sunday if you will be attending.  We will be making 5 cards for $15.  I will post one more of them tomorrow.

I will be at Lake Catholic this Saturday and St Pasquals the following for their craft shows.  I had a great time and did very well at my last one at St Gabs.  It was nice to see so many of you at it.

I am trying to see if there is enough interest for a Christmas Stamp-a-stack for the week after Thanksgiving.  Please let me know if you are interested by Nov 20 so I can decide if it is a go or not.  I just sent out a newsletter with possible dates on it.  If you did not receive one and would like to get my newsletters please email me at ritasangels@gmail.com.  Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Darling

Here is another Retro card, but this time I used the Tim Holtx Sizzix Textured Folder called 'Notebook' on white core paper and then sanded it to make the white show.  I added some lace which I ran my ink pads over to make it look older.  The die cut is Spellbinders Labels 18 Die which goes with many of the new stamp sets designed by Nina B!!  This frame set I used is called 'Fancy Labels', RN-18.  The woman inside the frame is a set I loved at first glance called 'Darling', T-3494, and so are the words.  The tag on the bottom is from the paper collection Reece SWIC.

In this picture you can see more of the words in this set which I stamped inside this card.  I love these words and can not wait till October to send this to my elementary school friend who I still see everyone month, who is older than me by 4 months!!!  I am always teasing her about that.  I carried out the button theme on the front with stamped buttons on the envelope and on the inside of the card too.  I am really like this card ....

I have been in a very creative mood the last few days with the high heat ... I hope it continues.
