A Joyful Christmas Snow Globe

This layout was completely inspired by @cityscrapper's "Twinkle Bright" snow globe scrapbook layout. I have linked her video tutorial in the supply list. I never thought to create a shaker card on a scrapbook layout before so I thought I would give it a try.

I found an old SEI NOEL paper collection in my stash that I knew would be perfect for this layout. I used the Winter Chill glitter accent page as my background. To create the snow globe, I used my EQ Success Curvy Cutter to cut a large circle out of the Iced Ornaments paper to serve as the background for the snow globe. I also cut a circular piece of acetate and a circular silver foil frame to adhere to the acetate. For the snow globe base, I cut a piece of wood-grained paper and backed it on silver foil cardstock. I glued the photo to the center of the snowglobe and embellished it with a snowflake sticker from the paper pack. I customized several colors of sequence for the inside of the snow globe, include some snowflake sequence. I used foam strips to adhere the acetate to the front of the snowglobe. I used craft foam to adhere the snow globe base to the background paper.

To embellish the layout, I cut pine needles from my Cricut machine and used VersaMark ink to emboss them with sparkle embossing powder. I made an arch of pine needles at the top. I also placed a few sprigs on the base of the snowglobe. I fussy cut some ornaments from the Iced Ornaments paper. I cut ornament hangers from silver foil cardstock and attached these to the ornaments so that they would hang from the pine needles. I popped some of the ornaments up using craft foam, while others were glued directly to the background page.

I used a few more glitter stickers from the paper pack to embellish around the snow globe. The date was die cut using Tim Holtz's Circle Words Christmas Thinlits. I backed the date onto the Chilled Berries paper and glued it to the snow globe base.

I absolutely love the look of this layout. I really enjoyed combining the use of this paper pack with the Tim Holtz dies. A special thank you to @cityscrapper for the inspiration.

Lost in the Inky Darkness

Today's card features a few of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix and Ranger Halloween products. I could not wait to use the Tim Holtz Skulls 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder and combine it with Distress inks and spray stains. I started by inking the flat side of the embossing folder with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink. I sprayed a panel of water color paper with water and carefully placed this paper into the embossing folder. I ran the embossing folder through my Sizzix Big Shot 3 times. I took the embossed panel out of the embossing folder and cleaned the embossing folder with StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Next, I sprayed the panel with Tim Holtz Decayed Distress Mica Stain. This gave it a green tinge with a hint of sparkle. I decided to seal the card panel by dipping a foam blending pad into Distress Micro Glaze and dabbing this onto the card panel. I glued a black cardstock matte behind the embossed panel and adhered it to a white card base. For the sentiment, I used the &qu

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set. The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing. Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder. I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel. I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint. I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder. I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel. I added a black matte behind this embossed panel and adhered it at an an

First Day of School

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 3. I decided to focus the layout on a photo of this year's first day of school. The layout has several sketched circles. I decided to break out the sewing machine and sew a few black circles using a variety of stitches. The Scraptember challenge combined with this sketch was layering. So I grabbed the Simple Stories Smarty Pants collection and layered up a bunch of the branding strips and the patterned papers found on the journaling cards. I used the letter stickers from the collection to create the title. I also used some of the stickers to embellish the title and photo, and also to create an embellishment cluster in the upper right corner of the layout. To finish off the layout, I splattered it with black ink. I love the 30 Days of Sketches because it is a great way to use up older collections and challenges me to utilize techniques that I don't often use in my layouts. First Da
