I told you this was going to be a Timmy week....and I am sticking to it.  You are probably thinking..."what is the difference, she always uses Tim Holtz Distress inks"....and this is true, but I am going to be using the embossing folders and as many OTHER Timmy things as I have in my arsenal of goodies.....so be prepared!

Materials:
     Paper: WorldWin cardstock
STAR: cut out from a Tim Holtz Journaling tag
NESTABILITIES Star and Labels 1
Brads: Spare Parts
WORDS printed from computer
Tim Holtz Tissue Tape
Ribbon: Melissa Frances
Tim Holtz for Sizzix embossing folder
Cuttlebug: "Measure by Measure" embossing border plates

Ok, did I get enough of his stuff on here?  I think I did ok!  This woodgrain embossing folder has been begging me to use it....literally...lol. Ok, no, not really, but I have been begging for time to use it and I have made it a priority this week to do so.

I embossed the paper with the folder and rubbed the ink over the raised image to get the nice dark color.  Then I took my craft sponge and dabbed a little along the sides too.  Working with the Tissue Tape I put strips of it on a piece of cardstock and then cut out the shape I wanted with my Nestabilities.  The star was cut out once I had my words lined up on the tag and put through the printer....let me tell you THAT was a task, but well worth it.  Brads and ribbon round out the finished product on the front.  On the inside I wanted to keep with the star theme and decided to break out my new mini stamps from WeR.  Super cute stamps at an affordable price....$1...can't beat that with a stick.  Those little tiny starts are stamped out down the left edge of the inside.  My Just Rite stamps are also used in the bottom right corner.  You know I don't go many days without using them.  Top that off with the star embossing border from Cuttlebug and I am in STARS heaven...and with the 4th of July speeding its way toward us....it is the prefect time to use them all.

Stick with me this week while I break out more of my T!MMY goodies.
