Snow Snow Snow - Idea-ology

 

Snow, Snow Snow! This piece is a celebration of snow and the fabulous graphics found in the Idea-ology Emporium Layers pack that was part of the 2024 Tim Holtz Holiday Idea-ology Release. 

I have been making several book nooks and that takes two small Vignette Trays, so I have a lot of large Vignette Trays left and wanted to accomplish two things with this piece, use two of my stash of trays, and showcase some of the amazing Emporium Layers. I think it does the job!

This is the video tutorial for this piece. I hope you enjoy it!

In the middle of the two trays, I attached the medium Square Vignette Box with a hilly, snowy scene inside. I had so much fun adding Mica Flakes everywhere!

The Baubles and Salvaged Snowman were covered in Collage Medium and then sprinkled with Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

The inside of the box was painted with Speckled Egg Distress Paint and then a layer of Collage Medium with Distress Mica Flakes. Then more Mica Flakes on the trees and the snowy hillsides were made with chipboard covered in Distress Grit Paste Opaque.

Along the bottom of the box is a Garland and three of the Jingle Bells.

In the bottom corner I added some Typography letters covered in more Rock Candy Distress Glitter.

And here is the entire piece again showing the sides with the Back Drops Papers.

This piece is an intermediate level project. It goes together pretty quickly. You could easily finish it in a weekend with drying time.

 Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope that you have a festive holiday making season!

Christmas Treats Vignette Drawer

For the Tim Holtz Christmas Idea-ology release, this is one of the projects I made.  It is a Christmas Treat Vignette Drawer made for putting on an office desk or the counter at an office or business to share with special guests or clients.

Here is the video tutorial.

 

The Mini Santa Mugs are so fun to decorate and fill with festive things!

I chose to fill mine with Distress Texture Paste "Whipped Cream" and "sprinkles" of slices cut from the confections.

I wrapped 1/2" and 3/4" wooden blocks with paper from the Christmas Collage Strips.

I popped the fireplace into the back of the Vignette Box. I love it!

The tree was decorated with Baubles colored with Crimson Alcohol Ink. I added a string of Christmas Multi-colored Tiny Lights.

I cut 6 pillowboxes from the Christmas Kraftstock and decorated them with Layers and the sentiments from the Sticker Book.

The front is decorated with more layers and one of the Christmas Marquees. So easy to make a bold, classic statements with the Marquees!

I added a Curio Knob on the the ends of the Drawer.

If you use this to put on a desk or counter for guest, clients or customers, I would make lots of extra pillowboxes to refill the sections when someone takes one. Enjoy!

Have a creative holiday season, 

Tami

An Unfortunate Ending - Tim Holz Stampers Anonymous Halloween 2024

 

 This is a project I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous 2024 Halloween Release.

 

 Here is the video tutorial for this project.

 

 To make the stone background I colored a small Etcetera Tag with Distress Oxide Sprays in Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss and Black Soot. When dry I spread Crypt Grit Paste through the Slate THS085 stencil. Once dry I went over it with some Hickory Smoke Distress Crayon to bring more gray to the forefront.

 I colored the images with Stormy Sky, Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke, Scorched Timber and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks.

Then fussy cut them out and added a thin mat of Mixed Media Heavystock colored with Old Paper and a spray of Fossilized Amber Spritz.

 

 After adhering the stamped images to the tag, I layed the large Batty layer stencil over them and the tag and spplied Black Paque Texture Paste through the tag. It did cover some of each image but that was part of the design plan and I love it!

Now let’s go have a creative day! 😃

Eclectic Elements Holidays Past Christmas Fabric - Tim Holtz

Photo Credit Tim Holtz

I’m always so grateful that Tim Holtz asks me to make with his Eclectic Elements fabric line despite the fact that I cannot sew a straight line and am a functionally inept sewer. 😂 I am the “If I can make it, anyone can make it” fabric maker and I’m happy to hold that self-given title. 

So trust me when I say that if you see anything here that you want to make but think you can’t…YOU CAN! You can do it. 

I was “under the needle” for this one and did not get any tutorials made but here are links to all the patterns I used.

Fabric Owls  I put my own twist on these with the twig feet and noses. Don’t you love that plaid lunch box Tim has?!

I made two of these snowmen. The first one I made with just plain white flannel, but wanted to try one with the calendar toile and I love it!!  I switched out a twig nose for the felt one in the fabric.

Snowman Pattern

Tip on the hat for this. I used the pattern, but instead of covering poster board with fabric, I just cut and hot glued / fabric glued stiff felt and greenery I bought at Hobby Lobby.  

Photo Credit Tim Holtz

The wreath was made in much the same manner as the one I did last year so I will link the tutorial here. 

I attached the music fabric to cardstock with fusible web, then die cut it with Festive Stems 664757 Bigz die. It has three holly leaves attached and it filled in the wreath quickly. The Buffalo Plaid Holly leaves are from Holly Branch 657468. The berries are just yo yos with a little stuffing in them. The bow is just a tube I sewed but you could use fabric glue or hot glue. 

Here is the tutorial I did with the leaves last year. This was pretty much the same technique.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you found something to inspire you!

You Boo You Card - Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween 2024

 

Hello! This is the first make I am sharing that was for the Tim Holtz Halloween stamp release for 2024. I used the Boo Crazy stamps along with an old favorite, the Crazy Things stamps for the little jack-o-lanterns, glasses, and bow tie.

Here is a quick tutorial. I forgot to hit record during the masking/stampin portion, but I I quickly talked through it once I realized it. Sorry, I didn't have time to go back and re-do everything so I just had to pick it up where I left off. It just happens sometimes when you are making, designing, trying to meet a deadline and film yourself all at the same time. I hope you find it helpful regardless.
 

Here is a link to info all about the Teal Pumpkin Project.

 Have a Creative Day!

Tim Holtz Halloween Idea-ology

Are you ready for a frightful time?!?!

Chocolate headstones anyone??
 

I’m drawn to Halloween candy….like a moth is to a flame.

Do you like your candy bones dipped in chocolate or rolled in sugar like a churro?

Happy shopping!
