Hello friends, hope you had a wonderful weekend. Did you see the Tim Holtz LIVE launch on Saturday? Tim showcased the new Ranger Seasonal Distress products. If you want to see the fantastic demo with so many tips and techniques, it’s over on Tim’s blog.
I am properly obsessed with the new Distress Gray Woodgrain Cardstock and used it to make a small pillow box ready to fill with some treats to gift. I’m equally a smitten kitten for the Distress Snowfall Grit-Paste and since discovering how vintage the Distress Mica Stains can look, I’m regretting not stocking up on last years colors. Fortunately next season, last seasons palette will return and in the meantime I stocked up, but I saved you some. 😉
I used this awesome “Tim Holtz Back From The Vault” die set, “Pillow Box & Tags” to create the pillow box.
PLEASE NOTE: This die set is ONLY available from Create and Craft TV and go on sale on Tuesday 11th October at 4PM+ 8PM UK and Wednesday 12th October at 8AM UK, while stocks last. They ship international, please see website for details.
I die cut the pillow boxes from Distress Gray Woodgrain Craftstock, lightly blended walnut stain distress ink over the top and once dry, added a strip of scor-tape to the connecting edges ready to assemble.
I die cut distress watercolor cardstock with the new Modern Festive dies.
I spritzed the die cuts with the new Fresh Balsam Distress Mica Stain, dried, sanded and blended in walnut stain distress ink.
I used dies from the AWESOME Chapter 3 dies by Tim Holtz. The tag is from the Collector set and the numbers are from the Specimen set. I absolutely love having these die sets in my collection and have them permanently in my die cart because I’m constantly reaching for them. I cut the tag from Distress Gray Woodgrain Cardstock.
I inked up the Festive Modern die cuts and once dry, added some of the new Distress Snowfall Grit-Paste. This is the perfect amount of sparkle for this glitter hating grunge lover!
I added some of the idea-ology Christmas Droplets which I covered in mushroom alcohol ink.
NOTE: If you add alcohol ink to these droplets and rub, it will remove the base color. I happen to like this because it makes it look imperfect and grungier, but if you don’t want that, just drop the alcohol ink over the top and walk away.
I added some string around the box which I tied the tiny 25 tag to.
Don’t be fooled by the name Modern Festive or the glimmer of the Seasonal Mica Stain and the sparkle of Snowfall Grit-Paste; all can be vintage grunge. These tiny boxes were so quick to make and you could add the greenery to a gift box, tag, card, to give a few suggestions.
Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions.
