Papercut Cafe Tea - Tim Holtz Sizzix

This was such a fun project to make for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Everyday release for 2023. I used Papercut Cafe, Alphanumeric Bulletin, Entangled 3D Texture Fade, Abstract Elements, and Brushstroke Flowers Mini. 


Here is a video tutorial that includes making the project, but also a little sewing tutorial and how to empty the tea bags.


I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. 
 
Have a creative day!

Diecember - Chilly and Freezy go on Vacation

 Oh my oh my! Tim Holtz and Heidi (Simon's Mom) have collaborated with Sizzix to bring us another fantastic Diecember gift and it is the cutest!! Welcome to the family Chilly and Freezy!!
 
Attention, attention!! Get the EXCLUSIVE Tim Holtz Cyber Monday 2022 die set ONLY at Simon Says Stamp! Purchase $25 or more of Tim Holtz products, and these cute snowmen, Chilly and Freezy, will AUTOMATICALLY be added to your cart at checkout (while supplies last).
I decided to send Chilly and Freezy on vacation with their parents Twig and Stump.  I hope you enjoy the tutorial for this fun holiday make!

I paired them with not only Twig and Stump, but also with a long retired die called Tropical. I have linked a few palm tree dies from other brands below if you didn't get this die when it was available.
I cut the trees out of Woodgrain Cardstock and the Light Grey Woodgrain Cardstock that is not returning after this holiday season, so scoop it up! The baubles are also cut from the Light Gray Woodgrain and colored with Distress Inks.
The bucket is Twig's hat and I cut one of the arms off the snowflake from the bucket to make a starfish.
 The sentiment is from the Twig and Stump die as are the snowflakes.
I used the tiny flowers from the Tropical die set to make the leis, floral crown, etc. and I wrote the signature myself with an archival pen.

Have a very creative day,
Tami
