This is a memory piece I made with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault 2 Picture Show and Watch Gears dies. I used photos from one of our trips to Disney's Animal Kingdom. I was considering making a scrpbook page, but then decided I wanted something I could have sitting on a desk or workspace as a reminder of this perfect day. The top of the piece uses the large film pieces. I resized all the photos in my Project Life app on my phone. These photos I put into the collages to resize the others I put into the the collage s several times to get them small enough for the tiny film strip and picture wheel. The word wild was cut from the World Traveler alpha and cut from black and kraft heavystock and layered before adhering to the film. I used some Idea-ology Memo Pins to hold the Film strips and I have photos on both sides so this can sit on a desk and people from both directions can enjoy it. I used some old thread spools as well as the gears from the Watch Gears die because the Animal Kingdom is brilliantly decorated with tons of found objects and reused items. I thought this was a perfect way to honor that. I made a mistake with the filmstrip dies and that was that I cut them from black Kraftstock. I should have used Black cardstock so I didn't have to use two strips back to back. The filmstips have photos from the same trip. I made several collages with four photos, then collaged the collages, then collaged the collages again to get them the right size using my Project Life App. I put photos on the front and back of the film strips so that again, it can be enjoyed from any side. I decided to use two gears to make a film reel. I just rolled up two empty film strips and glued them inbetween the gears to make the reel, then I just needed to add the end of the filmstrip with the potos to the front to make it look like it is wound around the reel. Here you can see how I used the picture wheel as a base but still have photos of scenery and animals from our trip. Even though I would use a different cardstock were I to make this again, I do love how the Kraftsock made this look old and worn. I really love this memory piece and so does my husband. I think it may well end up in his office instead of mine. LOL I had been quite ill the month before this deadline and so I just made this piece and did not make a tutorial to go with it. I didn't have the time or energy to do so. I apologize and if you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me through the contact section at the right column of this blog. I'll be happy to try and help. Have a creative day, Tami I am an affiliate with Simon Says Stamp, and Scrapbook.com. The links below send you to one of those stores.

Tim Holtz/Sizzix: hello friend - Read more from the {creative chick} | shurkus.com blog & more ideas from our "cards" section.

Hello everyone! I'm back today with the remainder of my cards created for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 1 release. I have enjoyed creating with this release so much, as I know all of you will too! I did these cards back in October, November, so hopefully I can remember what I did! First up are two cards created with the Wildflower Stems #1 and Wildflower Stems #2 Thinlits sets. If you loved the previous Wildflower sets, you will love these slightly larger ones. I die-cut my flower shapes for this card out of Tim Holtz Mixed Media cardstock. I then covered my flowers with a light coat of Ranger's Crackle Paste. I let this air dry before colouring. I use a combination of Distress crayons, Distress Markers applied with a Watercolour pen. I apply a small amount of the crayon, then rub it into the crackled paper with a bit of water, usually using my fingers. Love how the crayons get into the cracks, highlighting them. I usually use a darker crayon in the cracks as it shows up a lot more. I think I used the Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Bundled Sage crayons (sorry I didn't write it down!). Patterned papers from Wallflower, and cardstock are layered, stitched for my card base. A bit of ephemera, vellum ephemera and Clippings Stickers go on next. A small frame die-cut with Stacked Baroque and Distressed Woodgrain cardstock, then treated with Distress Stain and Crackle paste to highlight my flowers is next. The ribbon is stained with Distress Spray Stain. These Wildflower Stems were die-cut from Mixed Media cardstock coloured with Distress Oxides. I believe I used Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, and Antique Linen. The background paper is also from Wallflower(TH93110) and cardstock. My sentiment is die-cut with Gold Metallic Kraft Cardstock and the Thin Sentiment Words Thinlits(661807) set, which sorry, I didn't realize has been retired. The Thin Alphanumeric Set is still available and a great 3/8" 121 pc set, same font! Using the Sizzix Sticky Grid sheets when lining up your letters, is a must have for me! I added a painted Butterfly Adornment(TH93689) and stained ribbon, along with stained Tim Holtz Mummy Cloth. I'm so attracted to these larger negative space (not sure if that's what you call them!) dies. I've always admired those paper cut artists, how I wish I had the patience and talent like them; so I guess this is the next best thing! When I have them in my hand, I'm always trying to think of different ways to use them. I had created a card a long time ago using this layout, so I thought why not with this Organic Thinlits die. This die does not have an outer edge, so you determine how big you want your border. I die-cut this out of a dark grey cardstock and cut out my two triangles on each end. Because this is a rectangle shape, you won't be needing part of the middle section. I just measured one side and marked the opposite side the exact same measurement. With my craft knife, I just cut across. This 6 x 6 card worked well for the size of triangles I ended up with (about 1/4" border). I just cut a strip of matching cardstock to adhere across the top, finishing off the triangles before adhering to my Wallflower patterned paper/cardstock mat. I also stamped and die-cut foliage from the Flower Jar Thinlits with matching stamps (CMS297). The butterflies and bee are from Entomology stamp set(CMS328) and Entomology Framelits set. These were lightly tinted with Distress Markers. Add in a Small Talk Occasions(TH93245)sticker and some dyed ribbon and Bouquet Findings (TH93569) to complete your card. This time, I used the Organic die in my background. I die-cut it with Distress Mixed Media Cardstock cut to measure the width and height of my Etcetera 8 x 4 1/2" tag. With no outer edge on this die, I can make it the exact size I want. I placed the die where I wanted the pattern to sit on my tag. Adhere this to your tag with Distress Collage Medium. I then applied Ranger's Crackle Texture Paste all over, trying not to apply too heavy so you don't lose the detail and dimension of the die-cut. In some of the recessed areas I wiped away a bit where I had too much and along the edge, I used more so the pattern blends into the edge. Once dried, use Distress Crayons to colour. I used Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain, Forest Moss and Antique Linen. For my small frame, I die-cut with Stitched Rectangles and Distress Woodgrain Cardstock that was stained with Distress Stain Spray. I also applied Crackle Texture Paste to random parts of the frame, then coloured with Distress Crayons. A piece of Ephemera behind the frame completes it. I also die-cut a Flourish with the 3-D Flourish Impresslits Embossing folder in Mixed Media Cardstock, painted with Distress Paint. My pink coloured trim was die-cut with the 3D Mini Provincial Impresslits Embossing Folder. To finish off my tag, I coloured the Bouquet Flowers (TH93569), ribbon, and Mummy Cloth with Distress Spray stains, a piece of Fringe(93688) and adhered Clippings Stickers(TH93583) and a Botanical Paperie Butterfly(TH93554). That's the rest of my Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 1 cards. I have more to share from his Sizzix Chapter 2 release and all my projects for the Idea-ology Booth at Creativation, coming soon. Hope you come back to visit me! Make sure you check out the other designers who also created for Tim Holtz, he will be posting about that. Their projects are so amazing! Thanks so much for visiting, Jan
