Create & Craft shows - Tim Holtz Christmas

I'm back at Create & Craft this Thursday at midday with some fabulous Christmas dies, including some of the new Tim Holtz collection.

Fullsizeoutput_1e0b

There are a couple of new Colorize die sets, this cute Santa, and this beautiful village:

Fullsizeoutput_1e03

The Santa is fairly quick to put together, the village takes a little longer, but it's worth it - look at all the detail, it's so pretty.

There's also a fabulous background die set calling Falling Stars, it's great for creating stencils, or for cutting from plain card and putting glitter behind, and you also get a few extra stars to add elsewhere.

Fullsizeoutput_1e29

Fullsizeoutput_1dfe

There's a new 3-D embossing folder, Poinsettia.  It looks gorgeous watercoloured.

Fullsizeoutput_1e09

Then a few more floral sets - lots of these are versatile enough for all year round use I think.

Create & Craft shows tomorrow

QMc2hFTWS%2fnwg6ZpIf3A

I'm back at Create & Craft TV tomorrow morning from 7.30am, with lots of lovely floral dies.

This Bigz floral set is called Summer Blooms, and I really love the big, bold flowers it creates, they have so much dimension.   The background die is called Leaves & Swirls, and it's also a Bigz die.

Fullsizeoutput_1c89

There are two sets in a bundle that are die and stamp sets.  I really love both of them, they have some really nice sentiments, and the dies are really beautiful.

Fullsizeoutput_1c8c

Fullsizeoutput_1c81

Fullsizeoutput_1c8e

I also love this Pop-up Peony set - it has a separate outline, so you can have it cut into your card front, or as separate pieces.  Very clever.

Sizzix Summer Florals on Create & Craft

I'm back at Create & Craft TV this Wednesday with some gorgeous summer florals.

First up, is one that I know is going to be really popular, this cute bee.

Fullsizeoutput_1c7c

You get two sizes in the set, and there are two layers so you can get a realistic colour effect (if you want to), it also looks amazing in metallics.

Fullsizeoutput_1c7f

Fullsizeoutput_1c7e

Next up is the Spring Stems set.  This is a lovely set of quite large florals, and they look great layered up together or used individually to get a dramatic effect.

Fullsizeoutput_1c83

Fullsizeoutput_1c84

Next are two sets that really work well together - Bold Flora and Floral Tropics.  Both sets feature really bold florals which I think look fabulous in bright, summer colours.

Sizzix Embossing folder shows on C&C next week

Fullsizeoutput_1c3f

We had two beautiful Blue Tits visit our bird bath this week, so I decided to create a journal featuring a Blue Tit.   I used the Eileen Hull Pocket Notebook to create the journal, then covered it using my favourite Lumber embossing folder.   I used one of the birds from the Feathered Friends die set, along with both wreaths from the Funky Wreath set.  The leaves are from the Geo Floral set, and I added a little twig from the garden!  I die cut the bird from watercolour card so I could add the right colouring with watercolour paint.

I think my favourite Lumber embossing folder has a little competition.  I'm really loving this new Brickwork embossing folder too.

Fullsizeoutput_1c3d

I really kept it simple and just added a little Oxide ink to it, to give a whitewash look.  The wreath is using the Funky Wreath set, and the flowers are from the Geo Floral set.  

For the next card, I wanted to give the brickwork folder the look of worn, cracked paint, so I mixed some aqua ink with Ranger Crackle paste to create that kind of look.  I added some flowers using the Bold Blossoms Bigz die.

Fullsizeoutput_1c47

Fullsizeoutput_1c46

One more for today - this is another favourite - the Geo Floral set.  I really love these delicate frames, and you'll notice I've used the leaves from this set on so many other cards.

Sizzix C&C shows - more sneak peaks

Fullsizeoutput_1c49

The Lumber embossing folder - it's still my absolute favourite ever.  I honestly could use it on every card, I just love it!

I'm really pleased with how this card turned out.  I used the Decor Frames Bigz die to cut that frame from mat board, the leaves are from the Geo Floral set, and that gorgeous Scribbly Butterfly is cut from Rose Gold Opulent card.   I particularly like how that rose gold looks against the woodgrain, it really makes the warm colour just glow.

Next up is another Butterfly, this time I used the Doily embossing folder behind it to give a subtle background.

Fullsizeoutput_1c44

The next card is another favourite.  I used the Decor Frames again, but this time cut them from kraft card and sandwiched some rainbow leaves in-between the layers to give a lovely rainbow.  I teamed this with some rainbow patterned paper by Alpaca Pals by Tracey Hey.  

Fullsizeoutput_1c43

Fullsizeoutput_1c42

Next up is quite a quick and simple card.  I used the Botanical embossing folder and inked it up with Peacock Feathers Oxide ink before running it through on kraft card.  Then I rubbed over some brass wax to highlight the raised areas.  Before adding the butterfly I die cut a circle from vellum - this is a good tip when you have a really busy background.  It stops the main die cut getting lost.

Fullsizeoutput_1c45

Last for today, is another butterfly.  This time I added some antiquing cream to rose gold card to create a bit of patina affect on the Mechanics embossing folder.

Sizzix shows on Create and Craft - embossing folders

I'm back at Create and Craft TV next week with some mixed media shows featuring all my favourite embossing folders, some old and some new along with some fabulous die sets that work really well with them.

First up is one of those die sets - the new Feathered Friends set by Tim Holtz.  I decided to spend a bit of time making a home decor project and I'm really pleased with how well it turned out.

Fullsizeoutput_1c34

Fullsizeoutput_1c36

Fullsizeoutput_1c37

Fullsizeoutput_1c38

I used a few different sets on this - the Feathered Friends for the birds, Tattered Butterfly, and the leaves are from the Geo Floral set.

Next up, is a card using the Adorned Tile embossing folder, together with a floral made from the new foam, and the Bold Blossoms Bigz die.

Fullsizeoutput_1c3a

I used some charcoal opulent card to give that lovely dramatic effect to the embossing.

Next is another new embossing folder, this one is called Geo Lattice.  I combined this one with the Modern Foliage die and the Occasion Phrases for the sentiment.  

Fullsizeoutput_1c3e

Last for today, is another card with the Adorned Tile embossing folder and some Opulent card, this time I kept it really simple.

Bird house home decor using the Sizzix Feathered Friends die set

Fullsizeoutput_1c5a

I've had this house shaped frame for a while now, and thought it would make a perfect little bird house to use with the new Feathered Friends Tim Holtz die set.

The frame was plain wood, and has a glass photo frame in the centre.   I decided since that frame area was quite small, to put my assemblage on top of it rather than use it as intended.

First step was to paint the frame.  I gave it a coat of white gesso, then I mixed blue and turquoise acrylic paints with the Tim Holtz Crackle medium and applied this roughly over the frame.   I left that to dry overnight before coming back to it.

One final touch for the outside frame was to rub some Pentart Gold wax over a few areas on the front of the frame just to highlight some of the cracks a bit.

Fullsizeoutput_1c59

Next I cut a piece of burlap so it would cover over the glass framed area.  I used a hot glue gun to stick it down.

Next I cut some watercolour card to fit the Lumber 3D Texture Fades embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot.

I added a wash of colour with Oxide inks in Pumice Stone, Weathered Wood and Iced Spruce.  I dried that with my heat tool, then went over it with a Distress Crayon (I used Ground Espresso), then rubbed over it with some water to blend it out.  I then wanted to create a look of peeling paint, so I mixed some aqua acrylic paint with the TH Crackle paste and applied it roughly in patches with a spatula.   Once dry, I then added a little Prima Old White matte wax to give it even more of a weathered look.  I used the hot glue gun to attach the woodgrain panel to the burlap.

Fullsizeoutput_1c56

I then cut all the elements from watercolour card - the bird, a variety of leaves and foliage, as well as the Tree Ring die.   I coloured the leaves and tree ring with Distress inks used as watercolours.  For the bird, I used Oxide Sprays in Antique Linen and Vintage photo.  I used them as watercolours, then splattered some of the Vintage photo to create spots on its chest.

I also cut the Timekeeper die from watercolour card and coloured that with Oxide inks before adding a little gold wax in areas.

I tore a piece of cardboard and added some Prima Old White matte wax, and then assembled all the die cuts around that.  I also took a little twig from the garden and added that with my hot glue gun.

As a final touch, I used Nuvo Drops to add berries to the foliage and an eye for the bird.  I also rubbed some of the white wax on the twig.

Fullsizeoutput_1c57

I really enjoyed making this project.  Especially as I spend quite a lot of my day watching the birds outside my craft studio.   I think this bird die set is going to get a lot of use!

Quick birthday card with the Sizzix Dimensional Botanicals die set

Fullsizeoutput_1c4b

A quick card using the Dimensional Botanicals die set, along with one of the dies from the Stackable Geometrics die set.  I love using this particular die to create a trellis.

The trellis was cut from Agave cardstock, then I used the new Tim Holtz Embossing Dabber to add some clear ink prior to adding embossing powder in verdigris and gold.  I've only just bought the dabber, and I have to say, it's a massive improvement on my previous method of dragging a Versamark ink pad across the die cut - you can be much more accurate in where you put the ink with this dabber.  I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.
