Simon Says STAMPtember Oh, Frank! Is a very fun set for halloween or you can actually use it for other cards. This set was gifted to me, I'm always so blessed to have people that cares and loves me, so I'm very grateful for that. I've made a live video on how I've made a card with this stamp set, is very fun. There is PArt 1 and Part 2 so is long video but worth watching, so in the video you will see the card that you see her and another version of it. Go check it out!

Simply Wicked is a card I've made with a cool embossing folder that Tim Holtz release this past August 2022. The whole release was amazing but this embossing folder caught my eye, even though some of you might find it terrifying I find it very cool. The effect that the embossing folder does is crazy amazing, perfect detail and this embossing folder can be use for many other seasons in my opinion. Remember Halloween is my favorite time of the year, so often you will see this kind of cards for sale in my Halloween Section on my Etsy Store TatteredRoses41 . Are you working on your halloween cards? Well I am, also alternating with Christmas cards from time to time. So much work and fun, makes me happy.

I was a fortunate person to have participated this year on Tim's Live STAMPtember of 2022. It was a very fun live and not to mention the beautiful stamp set that he has release for this fun event that we only get once a year. The stamps are beautiful, allot of possibilities and many ways to play and create with this set, it came also with a snow stencil which is a addition to the stamp set. Tim's STAMPtember releases are only once a year and they will never come back they are limited edition, so you have to be alert when the times comes to be a lucky person to have one because they get sold out pretty quick. Last year was my first one, I didn't know about this cause I wasn't paying attention into what was going on on the crafting World. But Now I know, actually I've also got a halloween set from Simon Says Stamp will post in a future post. I've made a live video on how I did a card with this beautiful set, so there is Part1 and Part 2 showing you also how I play...

So it was time to me to start playing with Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste and Absolutely love it. I've explained and show this wonderful mixed media medium that will blow your mind. I don't have all the colors but the ones I've got are very fun.                        PART ONE PART TWO                                                                                                    

Yesterday was World Card Making Day, what a special day and what a better thing to share with you guys on a live video over at YouTube. This was fun even though it was more of a haul video showing all the goodies to keep making beautiful things. Now I have no excuse to not do something everyday and mainly have fun with all of it. I'm very blessed and I can't wait to make cards, Drawing etc. Today also is the start of InkTober, I mentioned this on the video but I don't know if I want to participate in this event yet. Anyway enjoy the video :)

Believe it or not I've bought this dies on sale like 10 years ago, a decade! I've never use them, they were sealed and brand new, until I said ok is time. I had no idea how cool and fun this dies are.  These are old school Halloween steel rule dies from Sizzix, how fun is Dracula, Frankenstein and Pumpkin for Halloween. I had so much fun making these cards and came out so cool, using Simon Hurley's inks made them pop. I love it!!! If you would like to buy any of these cards pleasae visit my Etsy Shop click here!

 These are precious! I've taken notes on Tim Holtz tips on how to use crepe paper on his release video of idea-ology products. I could not find the one that he came out for Halloween Season 2022 at the store so I found some at the Dollar Store and made some cool cards.

 There is nothing more fun than Halloween for me, is time for creativity to explode of fun ways to make cards and decorations for the house. I've taken out my Halloweenie colors and start doing some backgrounds with my Distress Inks and of course is so much fun to do. I think for most of my collection of stamps and dies is Halloween theme, making me more excited to make cool things. Here is my first card for the this fun season, lots of Distress Inks, Stamping and Copic Markers Coloring and boom cool card! If you would like to buy this card click here!

This week challenge is something beginning with an "S" if you would like to participate click here . So I've been wanting to use my Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed stamp set and in the stamp I've chosen you can see closer there is the word "sleeve", so it was just perfect.

So how can I forget, Pride Month in June. This is my part on my art process making an art journal page with Holbein Gouache and working with a Dina Wakley Stamps.  There is nothing more beautiful than a Rainbow embrace it.

Yesterday was father's day, I was thinking about my father. It's been a long time since he passed away and despite all the family problems, I miss him. I have made this Assemblage Baseboard in his memory, I've put a lot of thought on it and every item that you see here represents his younger life. Is quite interesting that I might be the only one in the family who knows more about him than his other children. Sometimes we spent a lot of time talking about his past with me and I've taken that with me throughout my life.  The Assemblage Baseboard was all made with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology the only thing that is not Tim Holtz is the picture, is not part of his photo booth and the mini bulb. It was a great experience putting all this things together to remember a person that was part of my younger life. I hope you are next to your father on a day like this, treasure him. And if your father is not around anymore just celebrate his life by remembering him. I've done a nice Ti...

 I've made this card following my Father's Day series, I've picked an old rubber stamp that I love using from time to time and took out my Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Tim's Distress Markers are something that I like to use, but because I've not use them in a while they are starting to dry out. The good news is that I've still got some markers that are working fine, the bad news is that these markers have been retired. The card came out beautiful just as I was expecting, using the markers is fun. I've stamp in Tim's Specialty Stamping Paper and use the markers with a watercolor brush to obtain that watercolor look that I love. the gold metal background gives it a nice touch. If you would like to get this card for a special dad, you can click here to go to my Etsy Shop TatteredRoses41.  Now I would love to hear from you: Are you creating Father's Day Cards? Have you use Tim Holtz Distress Markers? Nevertheless don't forget to subscribe to my YouTu...

I've done art journaling for years and there is nothing more satisfying than doing this craft. You can express yourself so much and your mind can go wild and creative. All you need is a journal book, paints, brushes, stamps and some magazine cut outs and your mind and world will change.  I recommend art journaling to everyone, will make you feel better everyday. I've forgotten how much fun and therapeutic it is. I've found lately that I'm not happy if I'm not doing any form of Art and for the past 3 weeks I've taken all my paints and many other art supplies out to start creating and I feel mentally much better.  Express yourself throughout art and life will be awesome!!! Do you artsjournal? Leave me a comment about your thoughts, will love to hear from you :)

Justin Bieber announced yesterday that he has Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, this could be a serious condition if is not taking care of. He was on tour and had canceled the shows due to this illness that he is trying to battle. Not only that a few months ago his wife was found with a small clog on her brain as well according to several reports on the media, sadly this famous young couple are going through serious problems and we all need to pray for them and wish them well.

My prayers going out to you and your wife. The World is listening, take it slow one day at time. Big hugs and a purple heart 💜@justinbieber

Playing with Tim Holtz idea-ology tags got me an idea for organization!  Organizing and classifying my Tim's Stamps from Stamper Anonymous is important to me. The idea-ology tags 🏷 came handy cause I couldn’t figure out how to use the labels in the bottom, nevertheless my idea came out just perfect and it was easy to do. Organization is key to be productive in your Art Studio or space, many times we abandon the idea to keep things organized and then kaos comes in and your creative motor stops because you can't find anything and it becomes a habit. Cleanup after you finished your projects, trust me you will feel good and ready for the next day to come and play with your supplies. Now I would like to hear from you: Do you have a organizational strategy in your art space? How often do you organize your art space?

I’ve found this little gem 💎 yesterday at a vintage store. I've done some research and it seems that this were done in the 90’s, I'm not sure but the cool thing about it is that it has that retro style from the 60’s, kind of like art-deco. It doesn’t work but is ok I like it for my studio since we got the #vintage vibe going on with a travel theme.  I absolutely love it 💛 and it makes a great vintage decoration in my art studio. Since I was very young I love clocks, but my love for vintage clocks is bigger because they are so cool, the house I've grew up in use to have those old big clocks that will have bell tones every hour or so. I've also owned the vintage Cat Clock that move the eyes and the tail when I was a kid, very creepy but fun! Now a days is very expensive to get.  I would love to hear from you: Do you like vintage clocks? Do you own Vintage clocks? Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more content EmeralDQueenTV

I've been having lots of fun going back to these tags that I've never finished. These were a challenge that Tim Holtz had for several years and they were very fun to make.  This tag is the one for May of 2014 and the tiling techniques is an amazing process to create a vintage look. Because I've gathered allot of the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology for years, making this tag was a breeze. I thought the outcome came out exactly like the tag says BEAUTIFUL!!!

We are in the month of June a happy month for me and to celebrate!  I've gathered a collective haul of my most  favorite maker Tim Holtz . This was very fun to do not only because I'm getting new products, I've also found things that are retired in a great prize.  Nothing makes me more happy than to have new paints, paper and all those goodies to create. So now my job is to continue to create and enjoy the creative journey.  Now I would like to hear from you: Do you like Tim Holtz Products? Ho often do you create in your Craft Space?

On February the 6th of this year 2022 her Majesty The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. To celebrate this unprecedented anniversary, events and initiatives will take place throughout the year, culminating in a four day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June.  The four days of celebrations will include public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflection on The Queen’s 70 years of service.   A special extended bank holiday weekend will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate the historic milestone. To celebrate her milestone I've made this beautiful tag, I was lucky to have the rights stamps and inks for the job. It was a very interesting project since I haven't done a tag since 2014.
