Tim Holtz Embossing Folder Technique

Tim Holtz Rubber Stamps are due in this week.  This is Tim's Video showing the new Stampers Anonymous rubber stamps and the technique I used below.
Using a Sizzix Texturing folder and Ranger Archival ink, I stamped onto the texturing folder.
I used a TJ Designs Rubber Stamp butterfly image.
Next I used a tag in the texturing folder, and ran the folder thru the Vagabond.
I took the embossed tag and rubbed a Distress Tattered Rose Ink Pad over the embossed image. 
See how the butterfly is behind the embossing.
Totally easy and fun!

So Many Reasons to Love You

A sweet and fun layout by Julie Tucker-Wolek using a mix of the beautiful "Crush" and "Crazy Love" lines from Bo Bunny!

Julie says this about her layout: "Last week, I shared that I love die cut papers, and usually I cut them up to make them go throughout my pages, for this layout, I didn't cut up my die cut paper, since its a heart, I wanted to have it whole! But whether you cut up die cut papers, or keep them whole, using them gives your layouts so much beauty! I also used some of Bo Bunny's tulle and made a frame around my photo, it really added some dimension to the photo and made it POP! :):):):):)"




 "I really love Bo Bunny's stickers! They add so much to your pages!"

Color Love

A beautiful and subtle layout be Rahel Menig!
Here is what Rahel has to say about her layout: "To make a layout feminine, airy and sweet I like to choose a white background and only add light colored items like the yellow clouds, the white butterflies and the pearls. Also the pictures need to be light or otherwise they might give the layout too much contrast. To change a picture like that, I edit them in Photoshop and adjust the brithness and/or contrast."
 Love the way Rahel uses white space in her layouts!
