I'm so excited to be joining a group of talented crafters sharing holiday projects with you during the month of November and beginning of December using all the latest holiday stamps and products from Tim Holtz! All the projects will be showcasing products from the new Holiday Season release. If you have not seen everything that has come out this season you can watch all of the Facebook Live product release videos HERE and just in case you miss any of the projects Tim will be sharing a weekly recap each Saturday over on his Blog. Today I have a card featuring three stamp sets:
This was a fun and simple card to make. I stamped the word Christmas and embossed it with gold embossing powder, then stamped the word cheer in Jet Black Archival Ink. To create the snowflakes I used Distress Paints in Tarnished Brass, Brushed Pewter and Antique Bronze to create my snowflakes in different colors. It is super easy to "ink" up your stamps with paint using a foam blending tool. Be sure to clean your stamps off right away when you are done!
To finish off the card, I added a few of the Idea-ology Fluted stars, which I also painted with the same colors of paint.

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Make A Wish!
I made this little tag this week as a reminder to keep on believing. I started off by painting two tags with Distress Paint in Mustard Seed and Victorian Velvet, and cutting one with the Mixed Media 2 die and layering them together. I added Alphanumeric Marquee letters, some remnant rubs, big chat and a mirrored star. I finished the tag up with some Crinkle Ribbon colored with Distress Stain and a spritz with my marker spritzer.
Be sure to stop back and play along with us in a new challenge each Monday!

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is BUTTERFLY BEAUTY. I used this challenge to have some playtime with one of my favorite stamp sets from Dina Wakley, Scribbly Insects. I made the tag backgrounds by smooshing some watered down Dina Wakley Media paints and added some texture with the Mini Favorites and Bendy Pinwheels stencils. I painted my butterflies loosely and cut them out and added some coordinating sentiments from the Handwritten Quotes stamp set. I hope you will pull out some butterflies from your stash and play along with us!

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Use Your Lucky Stars. This week, it was all about all of the new Dina Wakley paints and stencils to create my art journal background. I added lots of layers of paint and stencils onto one of Dylusions journal insert sheets in black. To finish off my page I added images from the Scribbly Fashion Figures and Grungy Stars sets. The sentiment was made by mixing some Tim Holtz Big Chat and Small Talk.

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog this week is Something New. This can be almost anything: new products, new techniques, new style...just something that is new to you. This week I have made something old something new again. I love mixing paints and playing with color and I used Dina Wakley's color mixing chart to mix up some new paint colors with the colors I already had. I stamped tissue paper with Archival Ink using the Scribbly Birds in Flight and built my mini canvas using paints and stencils and a bold die cut word using letters from Tim Holtz's Word Play die:
You can get a printable version of Dina's paint color mixing chart to help you stretch your paint colors from the Ranger website here. I hope you try some of these color combos, the results are really pretty!

This week the them for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is something that begins with the letter N. This week I chose numbers...
We recently found out that our landlord wants to sell the place we have called home for the past few years. We are lucky that we found a place just a few minutes away that is being completely renovated...and I will finally have a crafty room of my own again. All this moving has me thinking about numbers, and a lot of changes that are on the way. I made this art journal page with the artful dwelling die, and added our new house number on it.
I love the colors of these new Ranger Paint Dabbers together, and the fun texture from the Splotches layering stencil.

This week the them for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Wonderful Watercolor. I have so many watercolor mediums, and invested in this Zig Kuretake set last year and have not used it nearly enough. I mixed up some of my favorite fall colors to make a bunch of quick and easy thank you notes. I topped off the paint splatters with some gold Krylon pen sprayed through a marker spritzer.

This week the them for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Autumn is in the Air. To me, Autumn is all about the fall colors, cozy sweaters and my favorite holiday...Thanksgiving! I think this time of year is a great time to reflect on all kinds of things we are thankful for, and I took out the new 8 x 8 Dylusions creative journal and made a page with some of my favorite fall colors.
I didn't use the Dina Wakley paint colors directly out of the tubes, but instead used the Paint Mixing Chart from the Ranger Ink website to mix some colors of my own for a more fall palette. I don't tend to journal a lot on my pages, but it's something I'm working on. You can see that I did take a moment to jot down a few things I am thankful for on the paper bag layer behind the cut out plants:
