Tim Holtz Fall Embossed Thank You Card

I am slowly getting pieces of the Tim Holtz Halloween collection delivered to my house.  This week I received the Acorns 3-D Embossing folder and the new embossing glazes.  I combined these new products with some older Tim Holtz products to create this fall thank you card.


To create the background I rubbed the flat side of the Acorns embossing folder with embossing ink.  I lightly sprayed a panel of watercolor paper with water and placed it in the embossing folder.  I ran this through my Sizzix Big Shot a few times.  Afterwards, I sprinkled the panel with Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey, and Wilted Violet Distress embossing glazes.  I heat embossed the entire panel.  I cut down the panel and backed it with purple cardstock.  I adhered the card panel to a white card base.


Next, I used the Leaf Fragments die set to die cut some leaves from cream cardstock.  I dry embossed the leaves using the Foliage 3-D embossing folder.  Afterwards, I swiped Walnut Stain Distress Ink over one of the embossed leaves to bring out the details of the leaves.  I repeated the process with another leaf, but used Vintage Photo Distress Ink.


I cut a small amount of light brown cheese cloth to place on top of the card panel.  I layered two of the leaves on top of the cheese cloth and tied a brown and white baker's twine bow around the base of the leaves.


For the sentiment, I used a gold Glimmered sentiment that I had in my stash.  I inked the edges of the sentiment with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and adhered this to the bottom of the card.


Receiving pieces of the new Tim Holtz collection in small amounts allows me to focus and play with each product individually.  Can't wait to see what arrives this week!

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...

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 ...

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...
