TIM HOLTZ JUNE TAG 2015

Tim Holtz June Tag 2015

Tim is just sooo talented....He doesn't have to TRY to hit

something spot on.....it just happens.  I'd say this tag is just

right...ya know...PERFECT!

If I had to do a project that needed this coffee cup..this is

what I would go for.  And what a great idea for a gift too....

sticking that little gift card behind it...

Tim just thinks of EVERYTHING!!!

 For me though, I am not a daily 

Starbucks visitor. I might meet a girlfriend there every now

and then, or if I'm on a road trip, I would definitely have 

a Starbucks Stop....especially for their frappuccinos.....YUM!

I would much rather have my coffee at home every morning out

on the deck and save my sheckles for more scrapbook supplies.....

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the starbucks coffee die has not been on my long list of must 

haves...but as with anything Tim has his name on..I usually gotta

own it.

But as of right now I don't own that die and I don't have a close 

friend that has it either, so I got out my favorite coffee cup and

my graph paper and drew my little cup with it's large 

heart on it, cut it out and and decided it would be

PERFECT for me for my June tag.

So here's my take on Tim's June Tag...

Morning Love...Homemade

Do you ever have one of those days when you are trying

to complete a project and you feel as if nothing is working right???

I usually just go with those little mistakes and let them roll 

right off...must be left over from our stay in the hospital in May.

I'm thinking I wanted to redo my background, I felt my ink

was too much, but then my heat tool broke so I stuck with my first go.

Then, when I tried to sew, my little ole machine was cranky

 ...I won't tell you how many times I had to cut out my little coffee mug cause

my bobbin was being fussy. 

But I stuck with it and I "LOVED" how this all came together.

I look at it and think back to my coffee -

my favorite is Keurig - K - cup Tully's Hawaiian blend, I have with my favorite

creamer -"SWEET ITALIAN"  and it makes me want to have 

another cup.  

My "Blend" of Supplies I used different from Tim

Paper Scraps:  Heidi Swapp - Vintage Chic - Just Dots,

Core'dinations - maplenut,

Red, White, Black and Butterscotch card stock

Vellum

Chipboard 

Cotton Ribbon

Wired Burlap Ribbon

Black Hemp Cord

Material:  black ric-rac

Distress Ink - Antique Linen, Barn Door, Festive Berries, 

Fired Brick and Walnut Stain 

 Dies - TH - Artful Arrows, Love Struck

Sizzix - Love Flourish

I used a Teresa Collins punch for the sun but if I had 

thought about it more, I would have used Tim's Labels Die #660060.

That has the graduated sizes and I wouldn't of hand cut 

the larger one....but no worries...it may have taken me longer, 

but I got it done and got the look I wanted.  I distressed and inked the suns.

Black Sharpie - I backed the heart with chipboard and went around 

the chipboard with the sharpie.  I then backed the heart with black 

card stock and hand cut that out so it would shadow the heart and 

help it to "Pop" off the cup.

I made my cup out of white card stock and backed it with chipboard, then 

inked it with antique linen.  

I hand cut the banner of the days of the week and
the sun (I punched the heart,
 backed it with red card stock
and glossy accented the heart and stamped  it with love).
I also distressed and inked the banners and the tag.

 Typewriter 

Fiskars - small heart hand punch

Tim's Tiny Attacher

Making Memories - mini shimmer alphas - black metro

MSE: My Sentiments Exactly Stamp - love

Making Memories Metal Charms- Amour - 32570

 Glossy Accents

Beacons
Pop dots

I am so glad I didn't have a "redo on my plaid background."

 The background colors stand out really well on the tag...
...Mmmm..I would love to have some paper like that...
Ohhhh I can do that...I know how...because Tim taught me...
