Longing For Home - Idea-ology 2024

 

Longing for Home is my second project for the Tim Holtz 2024 Idea-ology Release. It features the NEW Large Collage Strips, Salvaged Hearts, Mini Stencil Chips, Screw Heads and Typed Tags as well as a few previously released items.

Here is my video tutorial, and I left in some design choices that I ended up changing at the very end. This project did go through a few different iterations before I finally settled on the final design.

This lovely home is the focal point. I colored with Distress Watercolor Pencils straight on to the piece. The Dolls and Houses and Cars all have a glossy finish, so you can color straight onto them. 

Here you can see some of the detailed coloring I did on the clothes of the people. The sharp point of the pencils really let you do the detailed coloring.

I added some large and small pieces from the Palette Ephemera pack  and half of an arrow from the Quiver Adornments Pack.

Oh these Salvaged Hearts... hahahahahaha! Bless them. They went through a lot before I finally just painted them with Distress Paint. This is the only one I wrapped with string and then tied a Typed Tag onto it.

Here you can see the other three hearts with no string. I do love them, and I loved the other versions too. This version just fit the project better.

Look at that Distressed Crackly goodness!

I did get the Mini Stencil Chips HOME to light up. I take awhile to show and explain how I did this, so I hope it made sense in the video.

I tried to keep the sides simple so the focus stayed on the front of the piece. You can also see how the HOME is raised to encase the Tiny Lights.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you found the video to be helpful and these photos a support to the video.

Have a creative day!

Sweetheart Vignette Panel - Idea-ology 2024

This is the first thing I made with the Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2024 release. This Idea-ology release was worth the wait wasn't it?! This Vignette Display Journal features many of the new products including the Paper Doll Poses, Cello Sticker Tape. Sweetheart Adornments, Photo Studio Layers and Paper Strips. 

Of course I have a video tutorial of how I made this piece. As with any Idea-ology project, it is a longer video because they are much more involved than a card. That being said, this project was made keeping beginners in mind. So if you are a beginner who has wanted to try to make an Idea-ology project, this one is a good place to start and I hope this tutorial makes it easy to follow.

I love the bits of Cello Sticker Tape. So good!

The Sweetheart Adornments are fabulous!

Just adding that little bit of stenciling over the Photo Studio cards softened it so much.

More stenciling and Cello Sticker Tape. I also colored the car hub caps with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

And I colored the couple with Distress Watercolor Pencils as well. The flowers are Bouquet and I show in the video how to make them smaller for the paper doll.

I also show how to stencil on the cards, how to attach the cards and how to add Distress Crayon to the cards.

I also show how to color the metals, and cover the Etcetera Facade and the trim.  And do you see that little bit of vintage retired Tim Holtz Idea-ology lace peeking through at the top? 

I hope you like this Sweetheart Panel as much as I do. If I didn't cover something in the video tutorial, please feel free to ask me in the contact me section in the right column. I cannot respond directly to a comment on the blog so If you ask a question in the comments here, you probably won't get an answer.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Links to all the products are below for easy shopping.

Have a creative day!
