Bewitched

Today's Halloween card uses a variety of Tim Holtz Halloween products including the new Distress Mica Stains.
I started by placing a circular mask onto a panel of watercolor paper.  I sprayed the panel with a variety of the Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  I took off the circular mask and sprayed the white area with Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain and water.  I dabbed off the excess with a paper towel and let the panel dry.

I die cut the witch, cats, some bats, and the tattered banner out of black glittered cardstock.  I sprayed a small amount of water color paper with Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain.  I used this paper to cut the word "BEWITCHED" and to cut small pieces to place behind the cats' eyes to make them glow. I folded in the edges of the tattered banner and adhered the word "BEWITCHED" to the center of the banner. 


I cut out two fence pieces from black and silver foiled cardstock. I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the card. I centered the tattered banner across the middle of the fence.  I glued the cat to the top of the fence.  


I glued the witch to the center of the moon and adhered three bats around the witch. I glued the watercolor panel to a black card panel.  The black card panel was adhered to a white card base.

On the inside of the card, I die-cut a border shape from silver foil cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment onto the shape using StazOn Jet Black ink.  I die cut and assembled the witches broom and placed it underneath the sentiment.  I glued the second cat on top of the handle of the broomstick.


I really love the combination of the glittered cardstock die cuts with the Distress Mica Stains.  It was so much fun to mix and match the different Tim Holtz Halloween die sets.

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 emboss...

I'd Cross the Ocean For You

I just received the Seas the Day stamp set by Dare 2B Artzy and I couldn't wait to use the images and sentiments to make some ocean-themed cards.   I started out by stamping the manatee and shells and colored them with Copic markers.  For the card front, I used Pixie Spray on the back of a mermaid scales stencil and adhered it to a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock.  I blended 3 colors of blue Distress Oxide Inks to make it look like the ocean water was getting lighter near the surface.  To add a little bit of sparkle to the water, I splattered some glitter ink on the stenciled card front. I decided to make this a shaker card, so I used a scallop square die to cut a window out of the center of the card front.  A piece of acetate was glued to the back of this window.  I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on the white card base.  A sequence mixture was made using blue, white, and iridescent sequence.  I glued a few of the sequence pieces ...

Hello Spring 2022

I love making spring cards.  I get so excited to mix and match the many die sets I have accumulated throughout the year.  Today's cards feature die cut shapes from a variety of die sets.  I created both a vertical and horizontal card layout, changing out the focal image on each of the cards. I started by cutting one of the Sizzix Creative Background dies from the side of a white card panel.  I trimmed a little off each edge and layered it onto a pink cardstock panel.  I cut some grass from light green cardstock using the the grass die from the Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die of the Month Set.  Using the same die set, I cut the sentiment "Hello Spring" from lavender cardstock. You can't have a spring card without lots of flowers, so I scavenged through my scraps of paper to find colors that would coordinate well together.  I used multiple Sizzix Thinlits die sets to cut flowers, foliage, and branches from the scraps of colored cardstock.  I also ...
