Sizzix Vintage Truck Christmas Card

This may be the last Christmas card I post for this year. I created this specifically for someone with an old blue truck.

This fun truck was die cut and it was fun to put together. There is some Nuvo drops on the window to make it shiny. I cut all the silver out of Metallic Kraft Stock.

The tree in the truck is die cut along with the stars.

The hill and the other trees are also die cut. The hill has shimmer mist sprayed on it.

For the background I used a stencil and sparkle clear embossing powder.

Supplies:

• Sizzix Vintage Truck die set
• Sizzix Season’s Essentials die set
• Elizabeth Craft Designs Mason Jar / Snow Globe Special
• Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Stock
• Hill die
• Hero Arts November 2017 My Monthly Hero kit – sentiment
• Newton’s Nook Petite Snow Stencil

Penny Black Deck the Halls Cat Christmas

We are in the home stretch to finish posting Christmas cards for this year. Many many months ago I stamped these cute cats and knew who I would make this for. I colored the lights first and decided that was all I was going to color for the cats. It’s not like me to have a lot of white but it just worked for this.

So I stamped the cats and colored the lights with Copic markers. The cat panel is raised up with fun foam.

The sentiment is die cut.

Supplies:

• Penny Black Deck the Halls stamp set
• Find It Trading Merry Christmas die
• Rectangle die
• Copic markers

Hero Arts Snowflake Swirl Background Hello Card

Here is a hello card I created for a package I was sending from a giveaway. I love this color combination. And… having Hero Arts and Tim Holtz on the same card… the best.

For the background I stamped with Hero Arts ink using the Hero Arts Snowflake Swirl Bold Prints stamp.

The snowflakes are die cut using Tim Holtz die set Mini Paper Snowflakes. I think I used a Shimmer pen on the snowflakes also.

The sentiment is die cut with Tim Holtz set Shadow Script #2.

 

 

Hero Arts Joyful Tidings Tag Set

I’m back to Christmas cards now. Here is one I made using a sketch from Build Your Holiday Stash Cardmakers group in Facebook.

For the background I used a paper pad so the papers go well together. I die cut the banner pieces.

For the ornament I die cut it from two different papers. I then put the die cut pieces back in using the kraft paper. The sentiment is from the same set and it is heat embossed.

Supplies:

• Hero Arts Joyful Tidings Tag Set
• Gold embossing powder

Tim Holtz Funky Wreaths Fall Card

We continue with Fall cards.

I guess I was really liking the honeycomb background. So here we are with another one. I used some Distress Oxide ink on this one too.

The wreaths are die cut along with the 3-D Impresslits embossing folders that cut out the leaves. I used Distress Crayon to highlight the leaf veins.

The sentiment was die cut from Metallic Kraft Stock.

• Sizzix Tim Holtz Funky Wreaths die set
• Sizzix Tim Holtz 3-D Impresslits Leaf embossing folder
• Sizzix Tim Holtz 3-D Impresslits Oak Leaf embossing folder

Hero Arts Autumn Wreath

And.. another Fall card for you.

For the wreath on my card I inked up the stamp with a couple different colors of green. Then I used the matching die to cut it out. For the images around the wreath I stamped them on different papers, some were ink smooshed paper, some solid color papers and some of the different images I colored with Copics.

The sentiment is die cut.

The background was created using a 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder and Distress Oxide inks.

Supplies:

• Hero Arts Autumn Wreath and matching dies
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Intertwine 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder
• Lawn Fawn Scripty Hello die

Tim Holtz 3-D Impresslits Leaves

I made a few Fall cards to send out and here is one of them. I just love leaves and Fall colors.

For the background I used Distress Oxide ink and then stamped over that with the Lumberjack stamp by Tim Holtz.

I die cut a wreath. The leaves are cut and textured using a 3-D Impresslits embossing folder. Some of the leaves were cut from paper with Distress Mica Spray Stains on them and some cut from the crackle looking paper by Tim Holtz that was out quite some time ago. I also highlighted the veins on the leaves using Distress Crayons.

The sentiment was die cut.

Supplies:

• Sizzix Tim Holtz Funky Wreaths die

Tim Holtz Theodore

Today I have a little card that has nothing to do with Christmas. I told a friend I would make her a bear card knowing that I would use this die set. It was assembled for many months and then I finally put it all together.

The background was created using Distress Oxide ink, an embossing folder and some Glossy Accents. I decided to highlight a few hexagons which gives the look of shiny honey.

The bee is stamped.

The flower is die cut along with oh so cute Theodore the bear.

Entered in the Love Handmade Cards December Challenge.

Supplies:

• Sizzix Tim Holtz Honeycomb embossing folder
• Glossy Accents
• Distress Oxide ink
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Theodore Colorize die
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Flower Jar die set

Tim Holtz Stamptember 2021 Christmas Card

How about a little Christmas for you again.

I got the idea that I wanted to create a scene looking out the window to see Santa and his sleigh taking off into the night when I saw this stamp.

First for the background I used some Tim Holtz wallpaper.

I ink blended the night sky and then stamped Santa and sleigh over that.

I die cut the window using the Window & Window Box die out of woodgrain paper and inked that up. I probably used a little crayon too. I die cut the tree and the candle out using the Festive Thins die set.

The sentiment is cut using a die from the Holiday Words Script set.

Supplies:

• Distress ink
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Holiday Words Script die set
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Festive Things die set
• Sizzix Tim Holtz Window and Window Box die set
• Tim Holtz Worn Wallpaper Scraps

Hero Arts Merry Christmas Cover Plate

And surprise another Christmas card.

To start the card I took a panel that I made quite awhile back after a Tim Holtz demo. You put some alcohol ink on a Yupo panel and then stand the panel upright and douse it with alcohol and let it run down.

The next step.. easy. I die cut the cover plate and glued it to the alcohol ink panel. Done!

Supplies:

• Hero Arts Merry Christmas Cover Plate
• Tim Holtz alcohol ink
