creativation (CHA) 2017: tim hotlz idea-ology project

Just a quick share of a project that I had made for Tim Holtz's Idea-ology booth this year...so many fun new things on here including Paper Dolls, Clippings, Quote Chips, Ruler Pieces and Stars. Being a Jersey Girl, my inspiration for this piece with the fun game wheel was Atlantic City...this couple reminds me of those old pictures you see of the boardwalk. All these fun new pieces are available to pre-order at Simon Says Stamp. Supplies linked at the end of the post :) 

Once again, thanks to Tim and Paula for having me. I love all the new Idea-ology so much, I've already ordered one of each! You can also see links to many of the other designers posts on Tim's blog post here. 

 

Here's a picture of my project in the booth, shared with me by my sweet friend Jenn...

creativation (CHA) 2017: tim holtz sizzix projects

Finally popping in to share samples of some of the projects I created for the Tim Holtz/Sizzix booth. You can see a video of the booth and Tim showing my house project around the 5:25 minute mark and my cards around the 7:06 minute mark here:

 

The first, and probably one of my favorites...these rainbow colored Tiny Houses. These were made by constructing the tiny houses out of chipboard, then covering them with watercolor paper that had been dipped into drops of Distress Spray stain. Lots of stitching and stars to add contrast and roofs made of corrugated textured surfaces painted black. Those beautiful bold Broadway letters are also new. I think I'll be using them a lot on some other projects. 

I also worked with 2 new texture fades to create some cards. The first is with the Roses texture fade, and I created a background with lots of Distress Crayon:

I also created a shaker card using the Flourish texture fade...I think it would be perfect for a wedding.

   

Hope you enjoyed these pics of my work! Thank you to Tim and Paula for having me (again)! It is always such a pleasure to create with your products, especially new ones.

cha 2016: birthday calendar for tim holtz sizzix booth

Sharing another project I created for the Tim Holtz/Sizzix booth. This time I used the Calendar Words Block die to create this Perpetual Birthday Calendar. It is a little worn cover binder that has a divider for each month, and a page numbered 1-31 for each month where you can write down all the important birthdays and celebrations you don't want to miss. This seemed like a perfect way for me not to forget to send out all those birthday cards I make! 

I used a worn cover and created the bright colored cover plate using the new Stitched Rectangles Thinlits die and embossed it with the Dotted Bullseye texture fade. All of the newly released Sizzix products are available to pre-order now at Simon Says Stamp! 

I added a little ribbon and some Idea-ology pieces to embellish the spine: 

And use tons of new (and old) Sizzix dies on the inside to create pages for each month with the Calendar Words Block die:

It was great to see Tim point out my project on Periscope! 

And I was super happy that my friends were able to see my project in person in the Sizzix booth! Thank you Jenn Shurkus for sending me these great photos. You know I would not forget your birthday!

cha 2016: burlap panel for tim holtz sizzix booth

I was thrilled once again to be able to design some CHA projects for Tim Holtz. This year I got to work with some fabulous new dies and made samples for the Sizzix booth. For this project, I used the Daily Words Script Thinlits dies mixed with some Idea-ology Big Chat stickers to make the sentiment for this mixed media burlap panel. Lots of hearts from the Heartfelt die, and tons of yummy Distress Paint colors. The new dies are all available to pre-order now over at Simon Says Stamp. All supplies are linked below! 

Here is a close up of all the fun colors and texture:
