New Distress Embossing Glaze

27 Feb 2022 3 Comments

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! Today I received the new Tim Holtz distress embossing glaze products. So those who know me know I jump right in to create a coupe of background for future cards. Here is what I came up with and I truly had fun creating theses backgrounds.

Embossing glazes I uses are wilted violet, picked raspberry, candied apple, wild honey, twisted citron and salty ocean.
Used Tim Holtz ranger texture paste opaque matte and simon says stamps stencil call egg hunt and strathmore mixed media paper vellum surface. Cover the hold stencil with the paste.
Took the embossing glaze and sprinkle a little bit here and there. Once I got the look I liked, then I slightly tap underneath the card stock with my fingers to spread the glaze around.
Took a heat gun and started drying the embossing glaze until it became glossy looking.
Wow! I love the way these backgrounds look. Can’t wait to make cards with them. But next I’m going to make more backgrounds first, using other techniques with the embossing glazes. So stay tune.

Thank you for checking out my blog. And have a wonderful day.

15 Dec 2021 1 Comment

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! I have been a busy bee creating many different handmade Christmas cards for this year. I wanted to share some of my cards I just finished. I made five Christmas cards using Spellbinder Glimmer plates and Tim Holtz snowflakes thinlits. And then I took the negative and made four more cards. I post everything down bellow.

Here’s the first five cards I made using Spellbinder glimmer plate called snowflake sparkle background and their silver foil with my glimmer machine.
It only took a few minutes to create five backgrounds. Card-stock used are navy blue, light blue and sky blue #110 wt. With silver foil made by spellbinder.
I took Tim Holtz distress oxides prize ribbon, blueprint sketch and mermaid lagoon and started blending around the outside of my cards. Took a dry paper towel and wipe some off the foil part.
Cut all the snowflakes out with Tim Holtz flurry #4 #663115 and TH #661599 snowflakes thinlits with Recollections silver foil card-stock paper. Also cut white glitter card stock and use Simon says stamp Merry dies #czd41.
Other products used are spellbinder Essential rectangles dies, my favorite things frames dies, circle die and white #110 card stock.
Now here are the other four cards I made with the negative foil from the first set of cards I did.
Solid plate is from pinkfresh hot foil plate, I layer down the negative foil down on the plate, then white card stock and run it thew my Sizzix machine and it came out beautiful on my cards stock.
Took sizzix circle die, frame die and run threw my vagabond.
Also used spellbinder glimmer plate called elegant holiday glimmer sentiments we wish you a Merry Christmas with red, green and silver foil. Place on my vagabond and cut out.
Here’s are the four cards I made and I love the way they came out. They shine so beautiful.
Also use some sequins for the cards.

Hello my crafty friends! The other day my husband and I were out Christmas shopping. We were near a Joann craft store, so I wanted to see if they had any of Tim Holtz 2021 Christmas products. The only thing I came across was this collage paper Christmas/Noel. I was so happy to get that. I live in a small town and our Joann don’t carry any of Tim Holtz products. I always order on line or go to a Joanns out of town. Came home and couldn’t wait to play with his Christmas collage paper.

Merry Christmas
I cut out what I wanted to used, then I took Tim Holtz Stitched Rectangles thinlits #661189 and place on collage paper and run it threw my vagabond. Took 110 wt. white card stock and modpodge gloss which is a water base sealer, glue place on collage paper and let air dry.
Used Tim Holtz tattered poinsettia big die #658261, large Funky festive thinlits #664221 and 3-D texture fade foliage #665252. Plus I used Tim Holtz distress oxides candied apple, rustic wilderness and vintage photo.
Merry Christmas is from Tim Holtz Holiday Words: Script #660058.
I always do something inside the card to match the front. And I like to write a personal note when It comes to Christmas.
Here’s everything I used….

Hope you guys try this technique too. With anything you have in your stash. Thank you for checking out my blog. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
