Must Try Embossing Folder Technique w/ Tim Holtz Stash!

Hello Friends!

Watch video tutorial here!

Discover creative techniques to add depth and dimension to your projects using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Texture Fades “Vault Gears” embossing folder. After embossing your panel, apply Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks with a blending brush for a smooth, colorful base. To finish, highlight the raised textures by scraping a selection of Distress Oxide Inks and Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink directly onto the high spots for a striking, multi-dimensional effect.

Apply a layer of embossable ink and then add Tim Holtz Embossing Glaze in Rusty Hinge. Once heat-set, the glaze will provide a beautiful, translucent finish that allows the underlying details to show through.

Next, spatter Black Soot ink and Tim Holtz Distress Spritz in Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo onto the panel. These will create an elegant shimmer that blends perfectly with the previously applied colors. Finally, ink the edges of the panel with Black Soot before layering it onto a card base using Distress Kraft Heavystock.

Stamp the dragonfly using the TH Classics 1 Stamp Set. This versatile set also includes a pear and a compass, both of which would work beautifully for this project. Next, add color to the dragonfly using Distress Inks and fussy cut the image. Finally, blend a small amount of ink around the edges to soften the cream-colored border for a professional finish.

To create the center of the dragonfly, secure a pen nib in place using E6000 adhesive. Next, apply 3D foam squares and a touch of twine to the back of the dragonfly before mounting it onto the card. Finally, embellish your design with ephemera, gears, gems, stickers, and a quote chip.

To finish, add one final spatter of bright white ink to unify the entire composition.

In today’s video, you’ll find full details along with tips and tricks for creating this card and mastering the featured techniques.

Lawn Fawn Tool Time Pocket Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today we will be creating a fun masculine birthday or Father’s Day card using some fun products from Lawn Fawn. We will create a little pocket to hold a gift card and sentiment tag.

Let’s begin with the Lawn Fawn Tool Time Background Stencil Set. These wonderful layering stencils will allow us to create a fun tool background which will include a hammer, screwdriver, saw and so much more!

To get started, let’s die cut one of the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables. Now we can do a bit of stenciling!

For the stenciling we will be using several ink pads from the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide collection. I have listed and linked all of those colors for you down in the product section. For an added layer of interest on this background, we will lightly stencil a brick pattern using the Lawn Fawn Brick Stencil. Once the stenciling is done we will ink the edges and add a little bit of spattering.

Let’s layer this background onto a black card base and add some Lawn Fawn Twine in the Natural color. We will just quickly wrap it around the card base a few times and tie a simple knot.

Let’s create the jean pocket using the Lawn Fawn Money Pocket Die Set…if this isn’t available, I will list a few other similar pocket dies for you.

We will die cut the pocket from some blue cardstock and add some distressing and ink around the edges.

Next, we can die cut a smaller rectangle for the sentiment. I stamped the “Happy Father’s Day” sentiment, but you could easily substitute this for a birthday or retirement sentiment.

Nature’s Palette Father’s Day Card!

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Let’s create a nature’s palette card that is perfect for Father’s Day! We will be using several stamps sets to combine several of nature’s beautiful elements. This card is perfect for the current Ai “Mix and Match” Blog Challenge and would also be great for birthdays and retirement as well!

Let’s begin by die-cutting the Ai Story Tile Template Die (6158). This will give us a fun grid pattern to showcase all of our stamped images. We will die cut this grid frame twice … once from white cardstock and once from a nice rustic plaid paper from the Ai Winter Woodland Cover PP (5964).

We can glue the two frames together and with the white panels that were die cut we will do our stamping. I thought it would be fun to use the Ai Wild Buck Foundation (6067), the Ai Hiker Foundation (6068), and the wonderful Ai WC Bear Set (6064).

The hardest part is deciding which images to use and where to place them! Once we have stamped all of the panels we will do some coloring using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Ice Blue, Smoky Teal, Aquamarine Blue, Blue Gray, Lt Green, Green, Flesh Colour, Mustard, Beige, Sand, Brown, Mid Brown, Gray Brown.

For the grassy areas and the foliage on the trees we will use the Ai Foliage Set (4051). This will add a lot of interest to the card and it’s so easy to do!

Next, we will add some little dots of color, to represent flowers, on the tops of the grassy areas. We will use gel pens in white, green, and blue. This will keep a masculine look to the card.

Now we can add all of the panels back to the card and for the sentiment we will use the Ai Just for Him Set (6063). This set has tons of sentiments including (husband, Daddy, Grandfather, etc.) We can pop up the sentiment for a little bit of variation and interest.

For a finishing touch, let’s add a bit of sparkle to the windows on the cabin and the water. For this, we will use the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.

Keep in mind that each of the sets include a little lady and several sentiments and the coordinating dies.

These are perfect for creating a quick backdrop for your cards!

Here are the new ladies and the links to the bundle which includes all 5 stamp sets and all 5 coordinating paper packs. This is a great deal if you are interested in collecting all of the sets because the bundle is currently 25% off! Please note that these ladies can also be purchased separately as well and are also listed on the website. Here is the link for the Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102): https://shrsl.com/4xg76

Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102) includes:

  • 6074 – Pickleball Patty – with 4 sporty sentiments and matching die

  • 6076 – Gardener Gail – floral fun with 5 clever garden sentiments

  • 6097–6101 Paper Packs – 5 themed A2-size cardstock packs that perfectly match each character (Pickleball, Cruise, Garden, Lounge, Golf)

Today’s card was inspired by the new Ai Blog “Stitches and Scallops” Challenge which is to use stitching or stitched or scalloped dies. Please join us in this new challenge … we would love to see what you create!

To set the scene for today’s card, we will be creating a fun beachy background with a pretty wave for Loungin’ Linda to enjoy! We will apply some Versamark Watermark Ink to the cardstock using a stippling technique and then apply some white embossing powder. This will give us the look of a wave once we apply some Tim Holtz Distress Inks to create the sand and water. I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video!

For some added interest, we will spatter the sand with some Gathered Twigs ink and the water with some Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White Ink.

Let’s set this aside while we stamp, color and die cut Linda. For our coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Haze Blue, Sea Green, Aquamarine Blue, Yellow, Orange, Flesh Colour, Pale Orange, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray.

Next, using a florescent orange gel pen lets add some cute little polka dots to her bathing suit and some highlights using a white gel pen.

For the front layering panel on our square card, we will use a pretty striped paper from the Ai Easter Paper Pack (5892). Let’s also add some peachy colored ribbon around this entire panel and pop-up the entire piece onto the center of the card front.

Next, using the Ai Scalloped Square Die Set (6047), we will die cut a peach-colored scalloped square and attach the beach scene that we created earlier. This will also get popped up on the card as well as Loungin’ Linda and the fun sentiment that is included in this set. It says ” LOUNGIN’ IS A LIFESTYLE” and is just perfect for this fun summer card!

As a finishing touch, let’s add some “ocean breeze” gems for a bit of sparkle!

NEW Cruisin’ Carol on Vacation!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today, I’m excited to show you another brand-new set from the new release of all 5 of the active ladies! We will be using the Cruisin’ Carol Set (6075) on today’s card. Keep in mind that each of the sets include a little lady and several sentiments and the coordinating dies. The collection includes Crusin’ Carol, Birdie Betty, Loungin’ Linda, Gardener Gail, Pickleball Patty … and I just love them all and all of their cute names! There are also some scenic paper packs that coordinate with each of the ladies. These are perfect for creating a quick backdrop for your cards!

Here are the new ladies and the links to the bundle which includes all 5 stamp sets and all 5 coordinating paper packs. This is a great deal if you are interested in collecting all of the sets because the bundle is currently 25% off! Please note that these ladies can also be purchased separately as well and are also listed on the website. Here is the link for the Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102): https://shrsl.com/4xg76

Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102) includes:

  • 6074 – Pickleball Patty – with 4 sporty sentiments and matching die
  • 6075 – Cruisin’ Carol – tropical vacation vibes and matching die
  • 6076 – Gardener Gail – floral fun with 5 clever garden sentiments
  • 6077 – Loungin’ Linda – poolside sass and sunny sayings
  • 6080 – Birdie Betty – for the golf lovers, swingin’ into retirement
  • 6097–6101 Paper Packs – 5 themed A2-size cardstock packs that perfectly match each character (Pickleball, Cruise, Garden, Lounge, Golf)

Let’s begin by creating our own background of sky and ocean using a fun and easy stencil set. I’ll show you how we can emboss the reflection on the ocean which will create a resist so that we can easily ink the blue of the ocean and create a nice shine to the reflection at the same time. We will use several Tim Holtz Distress Inks for ink blending the background. We will also spatter the ocean with white ink and water for added interest!

Now we will stamp a boardwalk for Crusin’ Carol to stand on and for our “Vacation Vibes” signpost. We can quickly color this in using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pen in Platinum Brown.

Let’s stamp Carol and her suitcase and color them as well, using those same markers in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Pink, Flesh Colour, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Orange, Mustard, Haze Blue, Persian Blue, Lime Green, Summer Green, Lt Gray.

To create the signpost, we will use the brand-new Journal Fence Dies (5807). We are going to cut this down a little bit to make it look more like a signpost than a fence. I’ll show you how to do that in the video as well.

Let’s quickly assemble the card and pop-up Carol, her luggage, and the signpost. We can also add a bit of sparkle to the card with a few iridescent gems!

Now that Carol has arrived at her destination, she can enjoy a drink and some fun vacation vibes!

Village Vehicles Graduation/Promotion Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using the brand-new stamp set from the Art Impressions Village Series! This set is called the Ai Village Vehicles Set (5889) and includes several little trucks, cars and even an airplane which will coordinate perfectly the new FREEBIES! These new FREEBIES include several different village houses/shops including a schoolhouse, cafe, hotel, candy shop, bakery and pet shop. Here’s the fun part …there are three add-on sets that will coordinate with these FREEBIE stamps. The Village Vehicles (5889) which we will be using today and also the Village Accessories (5890) and the Village Signage (5891).

These FREEBIES will be free with each $30 purchase and the add-on sets can be purchased as a bundle or individually. The bundle set will be at a discounted price. I will list all of these options for you down below!

We are going to use the little vehicles in a unique and different way to create a fun Graduation or even a promotion card!

Let’s begin by stamping and coloring in all of the vehicles using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lemon Yellow, Yellow, Orange, Geranium Red, Lt Green, Dk Green, Haze Blue, Aquamarine Blue, Blue, Cool Gray 6, Lt Gray.

We can then use our detail scissors to cut these out leaving a little bit of a white border all the way around.

Next, we can create the background panel by die cutting a circle from some white cardstock which has been cut to 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″. We can use the Ai Nested Circle Dies (5726) and center this circle die on the square panel.

Let’s then create a pretty sunburst background using the Lawn Fawn Sunray Background Stencil and some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade and Abandoned Coral. We will stencil half of the panel and then turn the stencil and complete the other half to create a complete circle sunburst!

Now let’s stamp a globe using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Schoolhouse Blueprints Set. We can the color this and die cut it using that same circle die set. We will also add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to the water on our globe!

For the card base we will use a pretty Arctic 100lb Cardstock. This card will measure 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. We can temporarily position the frame and the globe so that we can add a sentiment from the Ai Graduation Set (5277) to the front of the card that will say “You’re really going places!”. We can cut the stamp in half so that we can position the sentiment on a curve right above the globe.

Now let’s do a quick assembly of the card and pop-up the vehicles in a circle around the globe and sunburst. I also added a few vehicles on the inside of the card along with another sentiment from the Ai Graduation Set (5277) which says, “Look out world!”.

For a finishing touch, let’s add some Scrapbook.com – Pop of Color in Sunshine for a bit of dimension and …. don’t tell anyone …. to also cover up a little smudge that I had!

***NEW*** Art Impressions Watercolor Roses!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card was inspired by the new Art Impressions “You’re a Gem” Blog Challenge!  The challenge is to use a bit of bling on your card or project. I’m honored to be the featured artist for this fun new challenge!

I’ve got a beautiful brand-new watercolor set to show you from Art Impressions called WC Roses (5831). This set contains several different roses and a few leaves and sprigs. I love this little set because it is so versatile and can be used with so many of your other sets!

We are going to do a bit of simple water-coloring today using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Lt Pink, Peach Pink, Pink, Geranium Red, Scarlet Red, Yellow, Lt Green, Green. However, we will be using a water-brush and the Zigs together for a very loose watercolor look! I love this coloring technique because it is so easy and doesn’t have to be perfect.

While we have our Zigs at hand, we can add a few spatters in the pinks and yellow/red colors. This will tie everything together!

Let’s start by die cutting two panels using the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724) in white and pink cardstock. We will stamp and emboss several roses from this new set using one of my favorite embossing powders in Liquid Platinum. We will stamp the two panels at the same time using the MISTI stamp positioner. This will make the stamping so much quicker and easier. But most importantly it will allow the two panels to be exactly the same and this will be important when we cut the pink cardstock at an angle.

Let’s cut the pink panel … and I will show you exactly how I measured and cut these angles for a fun and unique look on our card!

Now we can pop-up the pink onto the white panel using some 3D Foam Tape for some added interest and dimension.

Next we can add a layer of pretty metallic silver cardstock and attach this whole piece to a white card.

Let’s add a cute little tag using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) and a sentiment using the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735). We can also stamp this tag with another rose using the same WC Roses set.

Finally, let’s add more bling by adding a few shiny silver metallic pearls and a few dots of silver using the Signo Gel Pen!

Please join in on this new blog challenge…. I would love to see what you create!

Tim Holtz Sparkle and Wine Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s play with the brand-new Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades “Sparkle” Embossing Folder! We are going to “double” emboss this folder on our card today.

We will start by running the embossing folder through the die cutting machine as we would normally do. Next, we will use the Tim Holtz Embossing Pen and Embossing Glazes to add another layer of embossing. All we need to do is apply some embossing ink (from the embossing pen) to the high spots on the cardstock and then apply some embossing glaze in a variety of bright colors. Heat set this and check out the wonderful dimension, color and shine that you get!

Keep in mind that you could totally change the look of this embossing folder. For example, this would be beautiful with gold, silver and copper for a more elegant look! Have some fun with this!

Let’s ink up the card panel using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire. Remember to wipe off the excess ink from the embossed areas because the ink just won’t dry on the embossing glaze.

Now we can stamp and color the wine bottle and wine glass and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Wine Red, Deep Red, Yellow, Mustard, Beige, Mid Brown, Haze Blue. These images are from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous – Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp Set – Wine Blueprint and Strip sets. Although these images have been around for a bit, they are absolute classics and make a great addition to your crafty stash.

We will add the sentiment using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Theories Quote Chips which will say “love with all your heart”. Just ink the edges a bit to finish off this quote chip.

Next, we can assemble the card panel onto a black card base, and we will also add a few sparkly hearts to each of the wine glasses using the Buttons Galore & More Red Hearts.

This card would be great for New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, Wedding, Congratulations, Birthday and so much more!!!

Tim Holtz Road Trip … w/ Mountain Scene Layering Stencil!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’m so excited to be showing a couple of great products! We will be using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Road Trip Colorize die set today! This set is absolutely fantastic and includes the dies needed to create this fun car and some clouds, trees and a cute little sign! If you haven’t used these colorize dies yet you will see how easy it is to do….and it is so much fun!

And I’m equally as excited to show you this amazing 4-part Layering Mountain Scene Stencil from The Crafter’s Workshop! I’ll give you a few tips for stenciling this in today’s video. This stencil is so versatile and could be used with so many of our stamp sets.

To do all of the coloring today we will be using several of the TH Distress Oxide Ink Pads! We will quickly spatter the background of the scene using the Dr Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White Ink. This will just bring everything together.

We will be creating a woodgrain frame for the scene using the Th Distress Woodgrain Cardstock. I’ll show you some tips for coloring this cardstock and creating a realistic woodgrain look! And for the road at the bottom of the card we will be using the TH 3-D Texture Fades Embossing Folder – Cobblestone #2. This will add lots of texture and dimension! We can a bit of ink to this panel for a more realistic look!

Now we can die cut all of the pieces needed to create the car and sign. I’ll show you how to easily assemble these in the video.

Finally we can wrap some twine around the bottom of the card and add a little charm from the TH idea-ology – Word Tags. Let’s also add a metal star to the sign which is from the TH idea-ology Adornments – Stars and also add the “good life” sentiment to the sign using the TH idea-ology Remnant Rubs – Tiny Text.

I hope this video will show you how easy it is to use these COLORIZE die sets and the fantastic results you can get!

Tim Holtz Papercut Cafe Card w/ Acrylic Block Stamping!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a fun background for our card using a round acrylic stamping block! This is so much fun and so easy to do! With this technique you’ll be able to create lots of backgrounds in a very short period of time!

We will be inking up the round acrylic block with the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Wild Honey, and Ripe Persimmon. Now we can spritz the ink with a bit of water and then press onto the cardstock. I like to let it sit for a second or two…this allows the ink to make a nice transfer. I will talk about this a bit more…and show you some tips and techniques in the video!

Now for a bit more interest, let’s do some stenciling using the Stamperia Create Happiness Stencil using the Gathered Twigs ink. To bring everything together we can spatter this background using some white ink and then the Gathered Twigs ink again!

We can also add this same ink around the edges of this panel using a blending brush. Now we can die cut a panel from this background using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Vintage Label dies. We will die cut this label and ink around the edges and then place it back onto the card by popping it up with some foam tape. This will highlight our coffee cup a bit more!

Let’s go ahead and die cut the coffee cup and all of its layers using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Papercut Cafe’ dies. For the layering papers we will be using the Scrapbook.com Smooth Cardstock Paper Pad in the Warms. In the video I will show you how these dies are labeled and how easily you can die cut and assemble the pieces of the cup and steam.

Let’s start layering the card with a pretty floral panel from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Backdrops Volume #1 Paper Pad and we can add a coordinating velvet ribbon from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Velvet Trims Warms collection.

Finally, we can add a few gems using the Tim Holtz Halloween Droplets!
