Tim Holtz Bold Tidings Mini

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Tim Holtz supplies that combines my favorite techniques: stenciling, die-cutting, and heat-embossing.

Tim Holtz Bold Tidings Mini

  • I applied white embossing paste through the Flurries stencil on an A2 teal card base.
  • I heat-embossed the Bold Tidings Mini sentiment with Wow silver glitter powder on white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment and backed it with a silver cardstock mat.
  • I die-cut the Tree Line from white cardstock to which I had applied double-sided sheet adhesive. I added Clear Rock Candy glitter to the exposed trees. I like using Clear Rock Candy glitter as it does not have an undertone (some premade glitter sheets are blueish, yellowish, or pinkish).
  • Once the background was dry, I added the trees and the sentiment panel with foam adhesive.

Tim Holtz Cozy Winter

Hello! I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Tim Holtz supplies. With the Cozy Winter bear, it was love at first sight!

  • I added white embossing paste through the Tree Lot stencil on to SSS Sea Glass cardstock.
  • I die-cut the Cozy Winter bear from SU Kraft, white, light pink, red, and black cardstock and colored the arms and base with Vintage Photo ink. I glued the pieces together.
  • I heat-embossed the Simple Sayings sentiment on to red cardstock and cut it with a banner die.
  • I added the bear and sentiment to the Tree Lot background.

This card combines my favorite cardmaking techniques of stenciling, die-cutting, and heat-embossing, as well as, a favorite color combination of red, light blue, and white.


A Cool Yule – Die-cut Penguin

Hello and Merry Christmas! This is my final Christmas card for the season. I have so many more ideas, but between shopping, baking, and so forth, I just don’t have the time to turn those ideas into cards.

For this last card, I am showcasing the recently released Cool Yule die set designed by Tim Holtz, using a design similar to this tag. I am combining some of my favorite cardmaking things: stamped graphic background, die-cutting, stenciling, and heat-embossing.

A Cool Yule - Die-cut Penguin

  • I stamped the Buffalo Plaid Background for the card background.
  • I die-cut the Cool Yule penguin and assembled it with glue. I cut a circle of Woodgrain Vellum (gifted to me by a friend) to which I attached the penguin.
  • I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with one of the tag dies in this set and trimmed the bottom a bit, so that the tag would fit better on the card base.
  • I placed another vellum circle (of the same size) on the tag before I applied embossing paste through the Snowed In stencil. The circle worked as a mask. I masked the sentiment area with washi.
  • I finished the tag off with Peppermint twine before attaching it to the card base.

Color Throwdown Butterfly

I’m sharing a card created for the Color Throwdown #293 challenge.

Color Throwdown ButterflyThe In Detail post I’ve been working on for the CLASSroom at Ellen Hutson’s includes a review of the Stephanie Barnard Butterfly Triplits Die Set (as well as the Flowers set). After seeing the fun colors for this challenge, I created a card featuring one of the die-cut butterflies. I framed the butterfly in an InstaFrame. The inside area of the MFT die was a tad small for the butterfly, so I used a square die to punch out a bigger background. I finished the card off with a sentiment from WPlus9.
