Tim Holtz - Right as Rain

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.

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.

Tim Holtz BrushStroke Flowers

Hello! Today, I am sharing a floral card featuring Tim Holtz supplies.

I cut the Brushstroke Flowers 2 from paper on which I had added watercolor.
I used the Intertwined folder to dry-emboss kraft cardstock.
I added a Tiny Text sentiment stamped on a thin white cardstock strip.

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Colorize Bloom

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with the Tim Holtz Colorize Bloom die set. The die set was introduced in his 2021 Sizzix Chapter One. Chapter Two is debuting this weekend.

To begin, I dry-embossed kraft cardstock with the Intertwined folder. I used a diffuser (appears to be discontinued) so that the center section was not dry-embossed.
I applied Distress Inks and Distress Spray to the panel to give it character.
I cut the Colorize Bloom pieces from cardstock on which I had already applied inks. Once cut, I added additional ink. I glued the pieces together, which is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle.
I stamped the Tiny Text sentiment on a small white cardstock strip.
I added the pieces to the dry-embossed background.

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Feathered Friends

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS mixed-media card created with Tim Holtz supplies including a die set, embossing folder, and stamp set.

I cut the Feathered Friends bird from Bristol, which I colored before cutting with Distress Oxide inks. I also added color to the pieces after I cut them.
I matted the bird with a vellum circle and a circle cut from a panel, which I collaged with collage paper and added Distress Crayons.
I stamped the Simple Sayings sentiment on to cardstock colored with Distress Oxide ink and cut it with a banner die.
I dry-embossed the background with the Lumber folder and added inks to the panel, as well some Picket Fence paint.
