Tim Holtz Pocket watch cards and grunge tag card


Finally i got the new pocket watch die from Tim Holtz and i had to try it out for some cards and tag :-)


Here i used black cardstock and foil tape and went over with TH texture hammer and black staz On.
Chain punch from Ek succsess 


Used the new movers and shapers circle die to cut out the middle part so it can be used as a frame for the receiver . Fastened with a magnet and embellished with gears from TH and spellbinders


This card is made for a confirmation boy


This is the same card but in more grunge style



Inside the cards is place to write a personal message and also a pocket to put in money
Magnets are hidden with gears 


Grunge tag made of the packing of TH supplies. Embossed with Sizzix clock embossing folder  and painted over with distress paint. Then used distress ink over.
The wings are cut out from the love stuck die.
Chain is painted with distress paint. Love this new paint! Perfect for metal :-)
Distressed jute twine 
Spellbinder gears


Fastened with magnets
The card with wings can be opened to write a message inside


Made this card for my son who loves sudoku :-)
The sudoku is also fastened wit a magnet and behind i made a pocket to put in a prize that he gets when he has solved the sudoku



Thanks for stopping by and have fun creating :-)
