Hello! I’m so excited to share the samples that I made for CHA 2016 for the Tim Holtz booths. It was such a dream to be asked and I won’t pretend it wasn’t completely thrilling when the box of new products arrived in the post.
This sample was created for the Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix booth and focused around the new texture fades plus sign embossing folder.
I covered manila cardstock with foil tape and embossed with the plus sign folder. I cut out the center to create a frame, fussy cutting around the plus signs. I then covered with black soot distress paint, wiped away the excess and applied alcohol inks to give an ionized metallic look, (see technique here).
I die cut “Genuine” from the thinlits friendship word set and mounted over idea-ology linen ribbon.The frame was mounted over the new idea-ology linen. This stuff is super cool and adhesive backed which makes it so easy to use. I added a fussy cut found relatives card and mounted onto a sheet of paper from the new Dapper paper stack.
A big thank you to Paula, Mario and Tim for inviting me! I’m still convinced that I will wake up at any moment!
CHA Product previews and BTS from the show are on Tim’s blog. Many of the new products are shipping now or available for pre-order.
