Tim Inspired Christmas Tag

Hi. I'm here to share my second ever attempt at duplicating Tim Holtz's monthly tag tutorial. I really enjoyed doing this. I have never made a wreath before and even though I do not have the same products that Tim used I am very pleased with the result of this tag. Advice: when punching a hole in the burlap do not use a regular hole punch. It was easier to use it than get out my big bite, but it would not open back up. It got stuck because the burlap did not make a clean cut. I broke it trying to get it open. Lesson learned!

Recipe:

Punches: Martha Stewart Frond punch and Paper Blossoms Pine Branch
Ribbon: Christmas Washi Tape and Burlap Ribbon (tight weave)
Paper: Manilla Tag, Black Card, Color Coordinations 3 different shades of Green
Stamps: Tim Holtz  CMS155 Simple Sayings
Misc.: Small Bow and small Jingle Bells bought at Hobby Lobby, Mirrored Flower (since I didn't have a
           star), red jute twine, hot glue, Sanding block, Sewing Machine\thread
Stencil: Tim Holtz Floral Stencil ( layering stencil/THS032)
Ink: Fired Brick and Walnut Stain Distress, White (can't remember the brand), Mushroom Alcohol ink
Paint: White Acrylic Paint

Angelic Christmas

Hello everyone. The Christmas Season is upon us and I made this quick CAS card for the Mojo Monday Challenge this week.

This card was made using some square scraps that I had leftover from when I made 72 of the Tim Holtz lantern dies. I had to cut them a little. I added burlap and ribbon. The sentiments are from Stampin' Up's Come to Bethlehem set. The angel is from a set that I received with my Quick Cards magazine subscription called Festive Silhouettes.  I inked the top white piece of cardstock with Ladybug Momento Ink (also used on the sentiments). The angel was stamped with Delicata Gold.

Here is the card I made. I received JRE on a Sled by Kith and Kim. After doing the background I cut it out by hand.

 Can you see the snowflakes that I stamped using Versa Mark Dazzle Frost? They are very light here and did not show up very well. The snowflakes were stamped and punched using products from Stampin Up. The back hill was made using my Creative Memories Decorative Trimmer. I then cut out small trees from my Memory Box Evergreen Landscape and Country Landscape and glued them to the back of it. I used Clear embossing powder to make the snow sparkle.

Materials Used:

Cardstock: Blue Coordinations and White
