Tim Holtz | Mixed Media Poinsettias

Hello! Today, I am sharing a mixed media Christmas card created with several Tim Holtz products including the Festive Bouquet die set. The items for which I have listed product links below are in bold.

Tim Holtz | Mixed Media Poinsettias

  • To begin, I sprayed Watercolor paper with Distress Ink Sprays in Barn Door, Mowed Lawn, and Mustard Seed. I like the vibrancy of the Distress Ink Sprays. I have never used Distress Ink Oxide Sprays, although I have some in one of my online shopping carts!
  • Once the watercolor paper was dry, I cut the poinsettia pieces with the Festive Bouquet die set and assembled the elements.
  • I stamped the Simple Sayings sentiment in Potting Soil on off-white cardstock that has flecks in it. (I am not sure where I got this cardstock from; it might have been My Favorite Things in a sample pack.)
  • I trimmed the sentiment panel and added it to a Paper Bag card base.
  • I adhered the poinsettias and greenery to the card front.

Sizzix | Snow Family

Hello! Today, I am sharing a winter-themed card showcasing the Sizzix Snow Family die set (suitable for a number of occasions beyond the winter holidays). I am noticing that the snowman has been a popular theme this year across manufacturers.

  • To create the background, I inked a Sea Glass cardstock panel with white pigment ink through the Lawn Fawn Snowflake Background stencil set (there are two stencils in the set, I used both, one at a time).
  • I stamped the MFT sentiment (now retired) in Gray Flannel ink on white cardstock and trimmed the top of the panel with the Color Block Scenic Scape die to make a snowbank.
  • I attached the snowbank to the background panel and added the assembly to a card base.
  • I cut the snow people, bird, and snowballs with the Snow Family die set from variety of cardstock colors and finishes and assembled them.
  • I added the snow people, bird, and snowballs to the card and accessorized with snowflakes cut from glitter cardstock with the Mini Snowflakes die set.
