Hello my crafty friends! Hoping everyone is having a wonderful day. For the passed three days I have been working on Halloween cards. The stamp I chooses is called A Spooky Day made by Picket Fence Studios. I fell in love with it, because I saw another card made by this stamp, I’m pretty sure it was on their blog. So thank you Picket Fence for making and sharing a cute card and to the creator. I love when I get inspired by others. I did change a couple of thing and add some to the cards. I will list all products I used down bellow.

This is everything I used to make this cute card.
I stamp the house with Ranger Archival Ink Jet Black acid free permanent waterproof. The pens I used to color the house are Kuretake Zig Watercolor pens (No. 025 Pink, No. 047 may green, No. 041 light green, No. 091 light gray, No. 095 dark gray, No 060 brown and No. 010 black.) Used also a watercolor brush for blending.
To make the background I took Sizzix Clouds stitched die and 110 white card stock and cut out and used like a stencil for my background with Tim Holtz distress oxide picked raspberry.
I also used Tim Holtz Bat crazy #664203 and Frightful things #664209 Thinlits. Bats and ghosts!
And as you can see I did the same things in purple. Background color is Tim Holtz distress oxide wiled violet and black soot to distress around the phrases. The house colors here are Kuretake zig pen (No. 083 Lilac and the same colors from the pink house.)
Remaining products I used are strathmore mixed media vellum surface 184 lb., 110 black and white card stock. I also use a clear glitter pen on the house and bats to give it a shimmer look. Sequins are pink, purple and black.

Hope you like my spooky cards and have a safe and Happy Halloween this year. Also thank you for checking out my blog.

Hello my crafty friends! Yesterday I made this cute Halloween card with Tim Holtz products. Last year Tim Holtz came out with the Jolly St. Nick thinlits. And I fell in love with it. So last year I made a Halloween card with it. It posted of Oct. 2019 if you want to check it out. I told myself that each year I was going to make another one using Jolly St. Nick. So I did yesterday and it came out cute. I’ll list everything for you guys down below. Hope you like and if you do please let me know.

Jolly St. Nick
Loving the spiders coming out of his beard and jacket.
Loving the spiders in the tree, ghost flying away and Jolly St. Nick carrying his pumpkin.
Keep it simple, lay out your Tim Holtz Halloween Kraft-stock and Jolly St. Nick Thinlits first. Then start cutting them out and also it important to keep each piece together.
Next I used Tim Holtz watercolor paper and TH alterations big die call (branch tree). Then took distress stain ( vintage photo, walnut stain and wild honey) painted the trees. Let dry before using TH 3-D texture fade (lumber) #662718. Plus as you can see I cut out two tress because I wanted the tree to have dimensions to it.
Next working on my background I took Tim Holtz watercolor paper and distress oxides ( hickory smoke, black soot, carved pumpkin, mustard seed and squeezed lemonade). Blended the colors together. Also die cut a circle to use for the moon. Took a water brush and splatters water over the water color paper and took a paper towel and tap dry.
Cut out my spiders, ghost, cat and pumpkin using Tim Holtz Frightful Things Thinlits #664209. Used ranger glossy accents over the spiders, pumpkin and jolly St. nick eye glass piece and belt buckle. Took Tim Holtz small talk stickers occasions and distress oxide black soot to give it a little shade. The web came from an old set of Tim hotlz stamp and die I had. Sorry don’t know the name or number. But you can used his new out there.
Everything I used is here…..
If you have any questions please let me know. Have a wonderful day.

Distress Stains & A Wooden Box

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! Hope everyone is waking up to a beautiful morning. I woke up this morning thinking how can I organize my Tim Holtz Halloween thinlits. I remember I had this old wooden box that my father made me when he was working for a lumber company. So I went into my craft room and got busy.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Stains: walnut stain and vintage photo. Very simple and very easy. I cover the box 4 times with the stains. Until I got the look I wanted. I let dry in between applications.
I used my P-touch to make my labels and then I was all done. Simple and sweet. I’m working on another one for my Tim Holtz Christmas Thinlits.

Thank you for checking out my blog. Have a wonderful day.

On this I used the same Tim Holtz distress paints, but did the pour in a open cup as you can see. Again just move the paint around and let dry.
After my acrylics pours were dry, I used my Tim holtz Vangabond 2 and Sizzix die Pumpkins 2 and cut them out. Then brushed ranger glossy accents over the pumpkins. Let air dry.
Took Tim Holtz distress oxides squeezed lemonade, candie apple, spiced marmalade, peeled paint, mowed lawn and vintage photo. Blended them on water color paper and drip a little water and tapped it with a paper towel.
