I am loving Day 3 of Tim Holtz' 12 Tags 2011! What do you think? Not only the letter press style, but also the custom stamp color technique is creatively fun and efficient for mass producing holiday cards and tags this season.Today's tag is a simple design that lends itself to loads of creativity and introduces great techniques! We are really enjoying seeing what everyone is making on their own and linking to inlinkz at the bottom of each of Tim's daily blog posts. SEE TIM'S BLOG FOR DAY 3 HERE. Remember, Tim is keeping the link opportunity live ALL MONTH long so you have loads of time to enter your posts. It's a fun way to share your art. Please consider participating, I think you'll find that you love the 12 Tags project even more (if that's possible!)
At Simon Says Stamp, we strive to be your one stop shop.... sooo you will see that we also have the jingle bells, jute twine, and clear gemstones that Tim used on today's tag. YAH! We absolutely carry EVERYTHING TIM HOLTZ in stock, but you can get so much more too! With Free shipping to USA & Canada for orders over $75, we offer one stop shopping at its finest. If you are a member of the yahoo group for ATTH (All Things Tim Holtz) we are vendor of the month and group members have a special coupon code for an amazing free Tim Holtz gift..... for more information see the bottom of this post.
Be sure to check out Tim's blog for the step by step instructions. He also posted an incredible video to YouTube of his appearance in 2004 on The Carol Duvall show. Tim's encouraging folks to comment on the video because he plans on showing Carol...

***A SPECIAL NOTE FROM the All Things Tim Yahoo Group (ATTH)
We belong to a Yahoo! group named "All Things Tim" , which is made up of over 2600 members from the U.S. and Internationally, who are fans of Tim Holtz and his techniques and products. "(AND, Simon Says Stamp has a special sale for all members right now, so it's a wonderful time to join!)"
A couple of our members and our Group owner, Gloria started planning a fund raiser this summer to benefit the group's postage fund. Gloria has always sent out prizes to group members and was paying the postage costs mainly out of her own pocket.
We decided to plan the fund raiser and it was decided that we would request donations of products for prizes from our fabulous vendors that are members of the All Things Tim Yahoo! Group. We also decided that we would have a better group member participation if the fund raiser were also to benefit an organization. That is when it was decided that A Place To Bark would be the beneficiary for the fund raiser. "A Place to bark is a wonderful organization run by Bernie Berlin. It is an animal rescue that Bernie single handedly started out of her own pocket and has rescued thousands of animals and put them into great homes"
When we contacted Heidi at Simon Says Stamp! to request a donation of product for the prizes the response we got literally blew us away! Heidi's suggestion was that, rather than donating product for a prize, Simon Says Stamp! would match the funds raised, up to the amount of $2000, for the donation to A Place To Bark. "Simon Says Stamp is actually named after their family dog, Simon and the business and its team make donations to A Place to Bark as frequently as possible."
We concluded the sale of tickets for the fund raiser prizes and we're thrilled that we were able to exceed the dollar amount needed to enable Heidi to make the $2000 donation.
We are so thankful for Heidi, Simon Says Stamp! and all of the other wonderful vendor sponsors of this event as well as our wonderful members who rallied to this cause.
Thank you again Heidi for making this such a huge success and we hope that the $2000 donation to A Place To Bark will help Bernie continue to do the wonderful work that she does! Check out Bernie Berlin on Facebook and see more information about her great cause A PLACE TO BARK HERE.
Sincerely,
Gloria, Deb & Laurel, Co-Chairs
All Things Tim Yahoo! Group Fund Raiser Committee
Our THANKS TO Gloria, Deb, Laurel and the amazing All Things Tim Yahoo Group for coming together for great causes! Thank you for your hard work! - Heidi
So, as you can see, people are touching people - and animals - far and wide! We hope you join in the 12 Tags fun and post whatever you've created onto Tim's Blog HERE and share in the fun!
Have a great day!
Heid

i won't be making tags because I already made some, but I will definitely enjoy looking at tim's and other people's... :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the tags so far. I need a lot of tags, so this is a great way to get me moving on making them!
ReplyDeleteThese tags have been amazing! I'm relatively new to cardmaking/paper crafting, so this is the first year I have actually heard about this project, and am not perpared to participate, but it's definitely something I'm thinking about for next year!
ReplyDeleteI look, awe and love the tags, but I am knee deep in other projects. I want to try the techniques on cards though!
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for Tim's tags all the year!! And now I'm creating inspiring by Tim! He's great!
ReplyDeleteI think his tags so far are stunning, I'm definitely going to be giving some of them ago!
ReplyDeleteI am watching but not playing along. I have way to many Christmas cards to make:)

THANKS for sharing and for the chance to win a set of Seasonal Distress inks!! What a AWESOME PRIZE!! Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
I'm not sure I am going to play along, but I will definitely be looking at all the tags and some of what people link as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that ATT exceeded the amount needed. Thanks so much for being there for our purchase of Tim's goodies.
ReplyDeleteI am Loving the tags each day, and will be making some this weekend, I hope! Sometimes life gets in the way of craft time!!
ReplyDeleteI have been excitedly following each day. Grabbing my morning coffee and checking out the new tag for the day.....unfortunately I haven't been able to actually make any of them ....yet! Hope to have time real soon. Thank you for the chance to win a set of the TH seasonal inks.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely will be making the tags and following along. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWonderful tag by Tim today! How wonderful that Simon Says donated the funds to the animals!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm playing along with Tim's 12 tags as well as creating ones in the style of Wendy Vecchi. Should be a fun, creative 12 days!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching, but not playing along. Those Christmas cards won't make themselves. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI was touched by SSS contribution to the place to bark fundraiser. You guys never cease to amaze me with your generosity. :)
I admit, I haen´t gor started yet, but I´mplanning to make them all up, when I hopefully has finished my new craftroom this week-end, and I´ve saved all the entries, so I can follow them and make them all. I just love Tim´s tags, they´re so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think that Tim's "simple" is just ingenious!
ReplyDeleteI have been playing along, making each tag as closely as I can with what I've got.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
Cool and fast assembly line type tag...great for gifts!
ReplyDeleteOh, love these tags. My inspiration is far far away, can't find it anywhere. So,no tags for me this year. But i love looking around on all the blogs.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Yvon
Its only day three and so many great ideas have been sent my way that it will take me some time to try them all.
ReplyDeletekarenajo
Awesome tags Such cool ideas!
ReplyDeleteKaren F
I do read the posts, but I will not play right now with it.
ReplyDeleteJust uploaded day 3 http://www.lisasomerville.com/2011/12/12-tag-of-christmas-day-3.html
ReplyDeleteive been playing along, this one is my favorite so far!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to these tags every year!
ReplyDeleteI have so many projects going on right now that I don't know if I will be able to try any of Tim's tags. I am in awe of the beauty of them. His techniques are amazing. He truly is the best!
ReplyDeletegorgeous tag. Love the color.
ReplyDeleteI would love to play along but I don't do all that well with tags, lol! It's still amazing to see what he does with them though!
ReplyDelete- April W
Such a simple idea to stamp two tags at once with that clever little twist. Definitely something to try at home kids!
ReplyDeleteKudos to SSS for supporting Bernie's charity.
I'm not making the tags but learning new things w/products I've not seen!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to play along. Have not gotten the time yet. I still enjoy following along every day!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie
Unfortunately I have no time right now to actually do the tags but I do check his site every day.
ReplyDeleteI will try to make something. Tim Holtz makes me want to quit my day job and stay at home and make stuff. Not possible, but I want to.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to make any tags yet but am sure enjoying seeing them! I was so interested to read that Simon Says Stamp made such a wonderful donation to the Place to Bark fundraiser! It really makes me appreciate y'all more. I love to buy from companies who do good things like that. How fun to learn that your company was named after your dog, Simon--we had a schnauzer named Simon. He passed away several years ago, but was such a sweetheart :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you Heidi for your generosity to Bernie and A Place to Bark.She is doing such a wonderful thing.If all the rest of us would just make a small donation each month,it would really add up!
ReplyDeletethese are such beautiful tags...enjoy looking at them so much:)
ReplyDeleteI am checking the tags daily but I am just swamped with getting ready for X-Mas that I will not be able to play in my craft room until January.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting Tim's blog daily to see and read the instructions on how to make these fabulous tags. I am pretty new to all of this, so it will take me a while to do it. It is a good thing that I can use the blog as a reference when I finally get around to making these tags.
ReplyDeleteReally great tag today. Loved seeing all of his tags last year as well. Always learn new techniques! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKatie B.
I am planning along. Just started today though.

ReplyDeleteYou betcha! I've been playing along doing Tims tags since the beginning. I have quite a collection now. I just can't seem to part with them LOL
ReplyDeleteLynn
I play along every year but have trouble keeping up with Tim. I wish I had time to make the tag each day it comes out but work and life always get in the way. But every year I still try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this . Love the tag! xxx Marianne MW
ReplyDeleteThis tags are beuatiful. Every year I look forward to learn about.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm playing along for the first time this year, instead of being a passive onlooker. So far I've really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at all of the posts and drooling but I haven't played along yet. I'd like to but it may be well after the 12 tags are all posted.
ReplyDeleteI'm following along everyday and hope to post my tags for the first time this year!!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I just received the Winter set...so looking forward to more inspiration from him!
ReplyDeleteTim never disappoints with his creativity! I wish there were more hours in the day so I could play along everyday so I will try to play when I can!
ReplyDeleteReally like the simplicity of this tag and the great colors!
ReplyDeleteI think its fantastic what the ATTH Group and the vendors have done. And yes I am trying to follow-up along with Tim's tags this year. Although I am way behind - LOL!
