The New Tim Holtz Christmas stamps and stencils are out! I made these quick gift cards with some of the new Festive Art Elements stencils and the new Berry Leaves layering stencils.
These cute mugs are part of the stencil set, I put Opaque Texture Paste through the whip cream part of the stencil.
The background of this tag was stamped with the older Linen background stamp and the new Grain and Ticking Background stamp. the stencil is Berry Leaves.
On both the candle and the mug I stencild them iin Candied Apple and then went over them with Sparkle Texture paste.
This tag has Unraveled Mica Stain splattered on it.
Fabulous products make it quick and easy to make lovely layered gift tags.
I hope you enjoyed this brief tutorial! Thank you for stopping by.
Have a creative day,
Tami

I made this card using the Attempted Murder Clear Stamps from Whimsy
Stamps. I made the shiny flames with Distress Mica Crayons and Distress
Mica Stains. The colors are linked below.
This was a quick card I made to celebrate Whimsy Stamps Creative
Director Deb Davis's birthday. Since she loves Halloween and designed
not only this tamps set but many others in the Whimsy product line, I
made a Halloween Birthday card. Happy Birthday Deb!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial!
Have a creative day,

Today is the third Whimsy Stamps Halloween release for 2023 and I made a couple of quick projects with them. Originally I was only going to make one quick card, but then ended up adding a small decor piece, so today's post is a twofer. I used the new Grumpin Punkins Clear Stamps and the coordinating Outline Dies.
The tutorial ended up being a bit longer than I intended, but it is for two projects so it's got that going for it.
I'm just going to post some closeups of each card here because I know it is difficult to see details in the video.
Below are the links to all the things I used to create these projects.
Thanks so much for checking them out and I hope you have a very creative day!

Breaking into the Halloween makes and tutorials, I wanted to post this tutorial today because it goes so well with the Halloween version I posted before this. Although this card is made the same way as the Pumpkin Postage card in the previous post, I actually made this one first. I just couldn't share it until
today. This card uses Trim a Tree 666332 and Big Tidings 666330 from the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas Release.
Note: as with the Pumpkin Postage, I did use actual vintage stamps from all over the world, but we had them appraised and even double checked the appraisal on our own before we came to the conclusion that the collection indeed contained no collectible stamps that were worth any monetary value. They are worth more used in my artwork than they are as stamps. So don't worry, I am not destroying anything collectible. Their worth was in the joy they brought our friend who collected them and how she appreciated their beauty and artistry.
This is one of those walk through tutorials as opposed to
watching me do every step tutorials, so you have had fair warning. But
hopefully with the last tutorial and this one, you will be good to go!
If you don't have vintage postage stamps to use, you can make your own with the Tim
Holtz CMS338 Stamp Collector stamp set (linked below) and cut them out with the Postale 665972 dies to make them any
color you want!
I made the outer mat with stamps I cut in half (but keep the four corner stamps whole) Then I added an extra stamp (from Norway) in the top corner just as an additional little embellishment. Isn't is fabulous? I just love the artistry of these old stamps.
I adhered green and red stamps onto Mixed Media Heavy stock with Collage Medium and then cut the holly, berries and Big Tidings Joy out of them.
The cream Heavystock background was stamped with the CMS338 Stamp Collector stamp set in Antique Linen..
I cut two additional joys out in black Heavystock and offset them so there was a shadow, but so it left the center of the O and between the Y open so you could see all the green stamps and tree shape.
Look at that December 65 post mark detail on the stamp right above the O. It's little details like that I love about the vintage stamps! so good!
I love the flair at the bottom on the Trim a Tree die shape. It is so dramatic and fantastic!
Thanks for checking in on this quick holiday card make. I'll be back to posting Halloween for awhile, but wanted this posted with the Halloween version so I have a little holidays collide moment on my blog. That's just the way it is this time of year though isn't it?
Have a creative day!

I made a quick card with some Tim Holtz Sizzix dies and some inherited postage stamps. If you don't have stamps to use, you can make your own with the Tim Holtz CMS338 Stamp Collector stamp set (linked below) and make them any color you want!
Note: I
did use actual vintage stamps from all over the world, but we had them
appraised and even double checked the appraisal on our own before we
came to the conclusion that the collection indeed contained no
collectible stamps that were worth any monetary value. They are worth
more used in my artwork than they are as stamps. So don't worry, I am
not destroying anything collectible. Their worth was in the joy they brought our friend who collected them and how she appreciated their beauty and artistry.
Here is a short video tutorial of how to make this card and I included the part where I designed it and then changed my mind and went a different direction, so you kind of see two versions of it.
Here you can see the Tapestry Texture Fade made a slight pattern on the Distress Black Heavystock?
I did my messy Halloween stitching on the Bold Frights BOO. I will admit, even though it is messy stitching it was hard to stay on the letters. LOL
The bats were all cut from the Bold Frights dies.
I don't attach the wings just the bodies, so I can pop the wings up for dimension if I want.
I went over it with Black Soot Distress Oxide, pad to raised areas of the Tapestry just to slightly highlight the pattern.
Lots of texture from the sewing.
I hope you liked my change mid way through. If you liked the first version, I'm glad I left it in so you could see some options. Do whatever version makes you happy!
Thanks for reading the blog and for watching the tutotrial. I'm grateful for your support.
