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 embossed panel and adhered it at an an

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water.  I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel.  I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock.  I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock.  I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel.  I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the card.  I used a variety of ca

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 used a Momenta dies s
