Tim Holtz - Right as Rain

It’s Lovely Weather for a Sleigh Ride

Hello! Today, I am sharing another CAS holiday card using the Tim Holtz Mini Holidays 5 stamp set. As I mentioned in this post, I have had this set for years but hardly ever used it!

I wanted to recreate a sleigh ride on snowy hills (the inspiration being the song “Sleigh Ride”). To create the background, I stamped the greeting in Stampin’ Up Real Red multiple times with my stamp positioner . I heat-embossed the sleigh stamp with Ranger Black Sparkle embossing powder and cut the panel with an oval die. I cut a slightly larger oval with a stitched oval die from brushed silver cardstock to mat the image.

Once I had almost everything assembled, I realized I needed to add some snow! I die-cut a slope to fit just under the stamped sleigh and horses that I then cut with the oval die. I also added small die-cut snowflakes.

Tim Holtz Classic Christmas – Fast + Easy

I have been attempting to be more mindful on stamp purchases this season, and to that end, I have been going through supplies I already own before purchasing new ones. I pulled out the Tim Holtz Mini Holidays 5 set to create a CAS and traditional Christmas card that took just minutes to create.

Bonus – I used patterned paper from my enormous stash!

Tim Holtz – CAS Christmas Ornament

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with items from the Tim Holtz Stamptember Stamps and Stencils set. I fell in love with this sentiment the moment I saw it!

To create the ornament, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment on vellum, which I had backed with double-sided adhesive. I cut the heat-embossed vellum with a circle die and added the ornament top and string, which had been cut from silver foil.

I used the tree stencil from the Tim Holtz set to create the background. I added some Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes to complete the scene.

CAS Winter Wishes

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with a variety of supplies from my stash.

I began by applying embossing paste to the Stampin’ Up Tranquil Tide cardstock panel through the Plaid stencil, which is included in the Tim Holtz Mini Stencils, Set 32 . While the embossing paste dried, I heat-embossed the sentiment from the Hero Arts Winter Wishes set on Stampin’ Up Real Red cardstock. To finish off the card, I added the die-cut Taylored Expressions Little Bits – Reindeer.

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Mini Stencils, Set 32

Dreamweaver Embossing Paste, White, 4 oz.

Hero Arts Clear Stamps, Operation Write Home, Winter Wishes

VersaMark Ink Pad

Hero Arts Embossing Powder, White

Die-Cut Reindeer Parade

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Memory Box Reindeer Parade die.

I played around with this design for awhile, and in the end, I partially embossed the Tim Holtz trees stencil (included in the Mini Stencils Set 32). Other ideas included stenciling a die-cut circle or rectangle, but I wanted the trees to be more organic. To simplify the construction of the card, I separately heat-embossed the Christmas Messages sentiment on a die-cut rectangle.
