Hello friends...wishing each and every one of you Hello friends...wishing each and every one of you the merriest of Christmas’s and praying that you find peace, joy and most importantly, and especially this year, that you find hope. ♥️🎄 I’m wrapping up my creative year with this sweet little cardinal. Cardinals have always been a sign of hope in my life, even on some of my darkest days, seeing one has always lifted my spirits and reminded me that there is a higher power watching over us. Keep the faith, good will always win. ♥️ Thanks so much for supporting me and my creations this past year. I appreciate every little heart and kind comment, they mean so much to me. ♥️ This project was created using the Simon Says Stamp exclusive Tim Holtz Sizzix Cardinal, a special when purchasing Tim Holtz products (not sure if they’re still available, you can check over on their site, simonsaysstamp.com), Sizzix domes, Sizzix Sequins and bead packs, Distress Mica Flakes, Sizzix Funky Wreaths, idea-ology mummy cloth and baubles, Stampers Anonymous Festive Overlay CMS357, and some vintage bits..plus a stick too. 😉 #timholtz  #tim_holtz #sizzix #simonsaysstamp #stampersanonymous #rangerink #ideaology

I’m one happy girl! 🥰🎄♥️ #inkyfingershappyheart #makersgonnamake #timholtz #sizzix #stampersanonymous #rangerink
Hello all, I hope that you are doing well! Whew, t Hello all, I hope that you are doing well! Whew, tick tock goes the Christmas clock! ⏰🎄... I’m here tonight sharing a card I created using the recently released Arctic thinlet, which I combined with a few glittered Funky Festive Greens to create this Christmas card...🎄♥️ You can flip through the photos to see some of the process photos if you’d like. (Photo 3) I spritzed some Distress Spray Stains onto a craft mat, spritzed the inks with water and dipped a piece of distress watercolor paper into the inks and dried it. You’ll notice that the background kind of has a birch tree feel..this was created by simply pulling the paper across some of the drips that were on my craft mat. A very easy but kinda cool effect. (Photo 4) I added snowflakes cut from the thinlet, adhered some with foam adhesive, and glittered a few of them with clear rock candy glitter. (Photo 5) A piece of vellum was stamped using a phrase from the Stampers Anonymous Scenic Holiday Stamp set CMS391, Distress Embossing Ink and Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder. (Photo 6) Several greens were cut from distress watercolor and inked background papers, then glittered. (Photo 7) The phrase was stitched to the background and the greens were then added. A pretty easy and fun card to create. Thanks so much for looking! #timholtzholiday2020 #timholtz #tim_holtz #stampersanonymous #sizzix #rangerink
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.. Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend..mine was spent decorating, baking and creating in my studio! ♥️🎄☃️ It doesn’t get much better than that! I’m back today with a short tutorial for some holiday tags that I created using the cracked leather paper I shared last week. It was perfect to use for tags...they became little toppers for some treat bags. I even have a recipe on my post...I can’t believe how well the tags went with the cracker candy treats! Hope you can stop by my blog and check it out (link in bio). Have a great day! 🎄♥️ #timholtz #tim_holtz #stampersanonymous #rangerink #sizzix #timholtzholiday2020

I’ve missed my Tim Holtz grungy vintage loving peeps SO MUCH ♥️♥️♥️ ..and being able to spend time with you all on social media. Let’s just say, downsizing and moving has been a BIG job and a lot of work, but all worth it because we are unbelievably happy to be in our new place 🏡♥️🌲. I’m finally making headway in my new little tattered nest of a studio and itching to get my distress ink on...and believe it or not, I have a new tutorial on my blog today!! 🎄🦌♥️ This tutorial features a card that I created using the new 3D Engraved Texture Fade and the thinlet, Dainty Deer. 🦌🌲 I also used a bit of Statue Alloy Alcohol Ink  and Clear Rock Candy Glitter to glitz it up a bit ✨ (check out photo number 3 for a close up!)..I hope you can stop over and check it out. Thanks so much for looking and have a great evening! #timholtz #tim_holtz #sizzix #timholtzchristmas2020 #stampersanonymous #rangerink

🖤💚 Hello and Happy Monday!! Holy MOLY how in 🖤💚 Hello and Happy Monday!! Holy MOLY how in the world can it be October 19th already?? It is going by way too fast! Before it’s over I thought I’d jump onto Instagram and share some cute little party favors that I made for the Stampers Anonymous Halloween release featuring those oh so lovable, Snarky Cats Halloween (CMS407). Those snarky cats are hilarious and always up to a little bit of mischief! I colored the cats using some “Wicked” inspiration and a few distress crayons and water brush. I then fussy cut them out and featured them on the bags. The backgrounds for the bags were created using the new Deco Arch (THS147) and the Shifters Multi Dots (THSM01) layering stencils. (Flip through the photos to take a peek at how they were created!) Thanks so much for looking..have a great rest of your day! 🖤🐈💚🧹 #timholtz #tim_holtz #stampersanonymous #sizzix #rangerink #timholtzhalloween2020
