I really love the feel of the Great Outdoors CMS321 Stamp Set by Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. It has such a great Frontierland at Christmas Time feel to it. So that’s what I was going for with this card. Something I could easily see fitting into the decor in Frontierland or Critter Country at Disneyland. Tim designs not only great stamp sets, but great stencils too, and Stampers Anonymous manages to put such amazing details in them. It’s really incredible. So on this card I decided to put them both to work and use them with Distress Oxides to make my own paper. The card started out with one of my new faves, the Distress Wood Grain Cardstock. I colored it with various Distress Inks and Distress Oxides in brown tones. Then for the pennant pieces, I started with a couple of pieces of Distress Mixed Media Heavystock. Using a blending tool and the Candied Apple Distress Oxide, I colored the Heavystock red. Then I laid the Plaid THS097 Stencil on top of it and using a different blending tool, I gently worked the Black Soot Oxide down into the open spaces on the stencil. Then when you lift up the stencil, voila! Buffalo Plaid! For the green piece, I lightly colored it with Lucky Clover using a blending tool. Then I stamped the Pine stamp from the CMS312 Flurry and Pine set in the same color. I love stamping the same color on the background. It looked great, but I felt it needed a little something more to tie it in with the rest of the card. After fiddling around with a few ideas, I settled on the Pines THS096 Stencil. I used the same technique as the plaid, worked Black Soot Distress Oxide into the pine tree spaces in the stencil. For the focal point, I colored another piece of Heavy Stock with Antique Linen Distress Oxide. Then stamped the wood slice from the Great Outdoors set with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. Once dry, I stamped the bear from the Great Outdoors set onto the middle of the wood slice. To put it all together, I cut two pennant pieces from the plaid and trees and then popped the wood slice on top of them. Stamped one of the sentiments from the set and tied some Eclectic Elements Crafters Thread around the side. This is really a pretty easy card to make, and if done in an assembly line style, would make a great Christmas card. Have a creative day! Tami I am an affiliate with Simon Says Stamp.

Hi there crafty friends! Today I have a new video for you featuring the Tim Holtz Sizzix Bowtied Colorize Thinlits die. I love this giant bow and there are so many things you can use it for, but today I...
Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous are releasing Tim's stamps in three sets. The stamps that are currently shipping in January are: Hipster Motivation1, 2, 3 Mini Motivation Brushstrokes So with that in mind, I decided to do a quick post today with the Motivation stamps and Brush Strokes. Then I'll do my Hipster cards tomorrow with a photo tutorial. This first card is very simple and doesn't need a photo tutorial. Choose 5 Distress Ink Colors in the same family. I chose 5 in the purple family. Pick one of the linear Brushstrokes CMS293 stamps, ink it up, spritz with water and stamp it on a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Repeat with the other 4 colors and your background is complete. The Motivation I CMS289 sentiment was colored with purple Distress Markers, then I breathed on it to reactivate the inks and stamped it on a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I really like the way the lettering isn't solid on the sentiment so it looks worn and distressed. To finish it off I added some Mirrored Stars. This second card I'm not going to do a tutorial on the textured background because I will do that with tomorrow's Hipster cards. I'll just say that I used the large Stone THS086 Layering Stencil, Grit Paste, and Distress Crayons to color it. For the sentiment from Motivation 2 CMS290, I stamped the Pine background from the Birch and Pine CMS280 onto a piece of Distress Multi Media Cardstock in Ground Espresso Distress Ink and colored in the background lightly with a blending tool and various brown Distress Inks. On top of the background, I stamped the motivation using my Misti (I don't have one of these Tim Holtz Stamp Platforms yet!) and inked up the words with the Distress Ink colors I wanted and I inked stamped and inked until each word stood out nicely. Well, I love Disneyland! I'm a California girl born and raised and Disneyland is one of my favorite places to visit. Thankfully I live in Southern California so I have an annual pass and have the pleasure of visiting often. In fact, I'm actually a scrapbooker at heart and love scrapping my Disney memories. That being said, I don't like to use Disney papers and embellishments to scrap my photos. I tend to see Disney in just about everything and prefer using the unexpected for my Disney pages. All that to say, when I saw this Mini Motivation CMS292 sentiment, the two circle Brushstrokes CMS293, and the Scribbles and Spirals CMS296 I knew this card had to be made. I couldn't NOT make this card! I began by rolling Candied Apple Distress Paint onto the large circular brushstroke stamp with a brayer, then stamping it in the middle of a piece of Distress Specialty Stamping Paper with the bottom edge bleeding off the paper. Then repeat twice with the small circular brushstroke. Stamp the smaller circles on each side of the large one to for a classic Mickey shape. While the paint is drying, clean your brayer and stamps immediately. I just use water and a Rub-it Scrub-it pad from Ranger. It gets down into all the crevices and cleans the paint out of the stamp nicely. Once the paint is dry, ink up the Scribbles stamp with Mustard Seed Distress Ink and stamp it over the whole background. (I used the Spiral Stamp in this picture, but the Scribbles stamp on the actual card.) Once it is dry, lightly color in the rest of the background with a blending tool and the Mustard Seed Distress Ink Using a slightly dampened paper towel or tea towel, wipe any ink off of the stamped painted image. To make the black band, I took a piece of Distress Specialty Stamping Paper and placed it under the small scribbles layering stencil from the Mini Stencils 24 MTS024. Then I inked over it with Black Soot Distress Ink. I stamped the Mini Motivation on a piece of Distress Specialty Stamping Paper with Black Soot Distress Ink. I added four Star Fasteners in the corners of the card to complete it. The last card was inspired by seeing my Distress DIY Custom Ink Pad sitting in my ink storage case. I thought it went perfectly with this quote from the Motivation 3 CMS291 I began by using the same ink colors I had used on my ink pad, Wild Honey, Abandoned Coral, Festive Berries, and randomly inking up the Spirals stamp from Scribbles and Spirals CMS296. Then I spritzed it with water and stamped it on a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Using a blending tool, I blended the same colors into the back ground. Then I sprinkled it with water drops using my Distress Sprayer and dried it. I got out another piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and using a Blending Tool I colored it with Festive Berries. You want it to be fairly saturated, but not as saturated as it would be with Distress Stain. Then using the large Heartstruck THS073 Layering Stencil, I spritzed the back with plain water using my Distress Sprayer and laid it directly on the paper. I pressed down on it with a dry tea towel, then picked up the stencil and let the water do its work. After waiting several seconds or so, I blotted the water off with my dry tea towel and then dried it with a heat tool. To get the stamped image in varied colors like this you first have to make a Distress DIY Custom Ink Pad. Tim has this fantastic tutorial on how to make one. Once you have your own Distress DIY Custom Ink Pad made, you ink up your stamp. Because these stamps are larger than the ink pad, you have to think before you ink. First you ink one end of the stamp, then turn your ink pad 180 degrees and you ink the other end of the stamp. That way the same color is in the middle each time you are inking. See how on my image the Wild Honey is on the top and bottom and then is blends into the Abandoned Coral and then Festive Berries in the center. To complete my card, I colored some Mirrored Hearts with Butterscotch Alcohol Ink. Although each card had several steps to it, they were all very simple to make and went together fairly quickly.

The Glorious Gatherings CMS351 stamp is just gorgeous! It was my favorite stamp in the 2018 holiday release from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous! I stamped the image onto Distress Mixed Media Heavystock in Archival ink. I often experiment with large, detailed stamps like this and stamp them in all four Distress Archival colors: Black Soot, Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo and Hickory Smoke. If you plan on watercoloring this image, I highly recommend doing this because you will be surprised at how the different Archival ink colors react with the Distress Inks when you watercolor. Some colors allow for more shading and show more detail than others. The background has the Music background stamp and I stamped it with Antique Linen onto the Distress Mixed Media Heavystock. I did sew around the outside edge and added an Ideaology Index Clip and Adornment Star for a bit of detail in the top right corner. When you are watercoloring, I put ink from my Distress Markers and Distress Inks onto my Glass Media Mat, then pick the color up with my waterbrush and color. Sometimes I will go direct to the paper with my Distress Markers and then blend it with my water brush for a deeper color. With this stamp it is a lot of fun to use lots of greens and browns when you watercolor. Thanks you for stopping by. Have a creative day, Tami I am an affiliate with Simon Says Stamp.

Good morning all. Happy 1st December, I am celebrating today as this signifies the end of my 10 day isolation after testing positive for Covid-19. I got away with it quite lightly which is something to be thankful for. I have a Christmas card to share today. For this card I have used: Sizzix Winston Colorize Die Set by Tim Holtz The background was created using Distress ink and the Tim Holtz Holiday Knit Stencil. When I had inked through the stencil I gave it a quick spritz with water so the ink would move a little bit and then dried it. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Slimline Christmas Holly Jolly Set Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and I'll see you soon x #staysafe
