1. Prize Ribbon Butterfly

   27th July, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello Friends. Hope you had a prize ribbon winning weekend! Sorry, I just can’t stop with this! LOL … I wanted to share a few close ups of a card I made for the Tim Holtz new distress LIVE Launch of Prize Ribbon. To watch the launch, see the comparison swatches and other makes, head over to Tim’s blog.

   
   Tim keeps creating these amazing chameleon distress colors and prize ribbon is another amazing one you didn’t know you wanted but now you need! The wicking on this ink is insane! It really is. If you have played with it already, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Here are a few more details…

   
   I stamped the butterfly from the specimen stamp set with distress archival ink. If you didn’t already know, distress archival inks have just been released in the full size ink pad stack, comprising of black soot, hickory smoke, ground espresso and vintage photo. As a stamper, I am so grateful to have these. I used the prize ribbon distress reinker to watercolor the butterfly and the outer edges with vintage photo distress reinker. Finally giving the butterfly a spritz with water and letting the ink wick. Truly, something happens when prize ribbon wicks. It’s like magic!

   
   I pulled out an old school torn notebook bigz die which I die cut twice and sprayed with prize ribbon distress spray stain and once dry, blended in walnut stain distress ink. I glued down one of the die cuts and attached the second one at one edge so I could turn up some of the sections for dimension. I LOVE this ink! Seriously, LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

   
   From the moment I saw this ink, this sentiment was on my mind. It’s a favourite of mine from the Tiny Text Halloween stamp set. The Specimen stamp set was also released last Halloween, but I have continued to use them all year!  I inked the stamp with prize ribbon distress ink and gave a light mist of water and stamped onto the smooth side of distress watercolor cardstock. I blended a little walnut stain distress ink around the edges and ran my ground espresso distress archival ink pad around edge. It gives it a nice dark edge to finish, which I like.

   
   I like to layer my cards so I added some music paper from a an older idea-ology paper stash, you could recreate this using a background music stamp, Tim has some really nice ones! I’ve had a couple of questions about my stitching. I use a singer heavy duty sewing machine with a standard needle. I stitch each piece before assembling. Practice on a scrap piece first and sew slowly. Practice practice practice and if you run off the edge, use a marker to draw on the skipped stitches! Smoke and mirrors my friends, just have fun making.

   
   I use distress kraft heavystock as my card base, it’s sturdy and I can cut it to fit my card whatever the size, so I’m not limited to a standard card size. You can make your own envelope or buy slightly bigger ones. If you want to see how to make incredible envelope art using Tim Holtz products, go visit Nathifa – Juicy Christians Studios.

   What I especially love about the distress kraft heavystock is how well it takes paints and inks, I mean obviously that’s what it was designed for, but holy batman; check out the prize ribbon distress oxide spray on the distress kraft heavystock! Some of those drips look electric blue and others ocean blue. I am obsessed and can’t wait to play more!!

   Thanks for stopping by and hope you take time to make.

2. Prize Ribbon Cactus

   21st July, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello friends. Hope you’re having a great week so far. It’s going to be a busy few weeks making for some very exciting LIVE launches coming up. Speaking of LIVE launches, did you meet the newest member of the distress family? Tim Holtz welcomed Prize Ribbon during Saturday’s LIVE launch party. If you still need to catch up or want to relive the fun all over again, it’s over on Tim’s blog.

   
   I had the great pleasure of creating for the LIVE launch of the stunning new Prize Ribbon. This tag was inspired by a trip to Arizona and I’m most definitely blue that I haven’t been back for a while. Let’s get into a few of the how’s…

   
   Take a mini etcetera thickboard tag and paint on a thin layer of slightly watered down white gesso.

   
   Once dry, sand the edges and blend in ground espresso distress ink.

   
   Cut the barrels using potted and potted 2 bigz dies from Sizzix mixed media board. These are going to form your barrel bases.

   
   At the same time, cut the barrel trims from cardstocked backed alcohol ink foil.

   
   Cover in black soot distress paint and then wipe away once almost dry. Using the nobbly end of a texture hammer to bash the trims.

   
   Again using the potted and potted 2 bigz dies, cut distress watercolor cardstock and emboss using the 3D lumber embossing folder.

   
   You will cut the barrels into strips later so here’s something I do… when embossing with the 3D folder, I line the center of the barrels up along one of the straight lines in the folder. You can use this later as a guide to cutting the barrel.

   
   To add the beautiful prize ribbon distress ink. I added a drop of prize ribbon distress reinker to my glass media mat and added plenty of water to my paint brush. Spritz the barrel with water and use the paintbrush to drip the ink down the barrel. It gives the kind of streaks of oxidation you find on weathered barrels.

   
   I had an accident and knocked over my re-inker. I managed to cover both hands and my shirt cleaning it up! I looked like a smurf!

   
   I used scrubby soap to clean my hands, it’s amazing soap and has a scrubby top. It comes in lemon and orange, but my favourite is the lime, it smells divine. Be careful out there crafters! LOL

   
   Using the line from the embossing folder as a guide, trim into 4 strips with your trimmer.

   
   Cover the base barrel in a layer of ground espresso distress paint and set aside to dry. Ink the strips of woodgrain cut barrel with frayed burlap distress ink and add to the base with distress collage medium. Please note that in the above photo I used ground espresso distress paint when doing step outs.

   
   Finally add the metal straps with distress collage medium and add idea-ology long fasteners to finish.

   
   Here are the pieces ready to be added to the tag. I had already cut the lattice for another project that never got made and the gear I had leftover from one of my rust makeathons. The cactus were from the samples I made for Chapter 2. The point is, make a little extra when you make and add it to your bitbox for later.

   
   I added the lattice die cut to the back of the tag. I also added a tag reinforcer and some trim that I dyed with prize ribbon distress spray stain. I secured it in place with an idea-ology loop pin. This is a trick Tim I picked up from Tim. Add a loop pin, or fastener or mini pin to secure your ribbon and stop it slipping.

   
   I added the cactus to the tag and placed the barrel over the top with adhesive foam. Don’t put any foam at the top where it sits over the cactus.

   
   The gear is die cut from the new mechanicals bigz die that was released in Chapter 1 this year. I covered with distress grit-paste and once dry covered in ground espresso distress paint and added crackling campfire distress paint to small parts of the gear. I added flowers to the cactus inked with prize ribbon distress oxide ink pad.

   
   I added a prize ribbon from the idea-ology adornments set with prize ribbon distress paint added to the metal and once almost dry, I rubbed the edges with my finger. I blended in a little ground espresso distress ink with my blending tool and added a tiny circle with a number 1 from the idea-ology specimen remnant rubs set. You could add glossy accents, a clear dome sticker or a punched circle of mica.

   
   I bought this “creepy grass” when I was in Arizona, so it’s kind of cool that it went back there. I tucked it into the top of the barrel with a tiny dot of hot glue.

   
   Using the alphanumeric thin die set, I die cut Arizona from distress watercolor cardstock, blended in some ground espresso distress ink and added to the bottom of the tag with distress collage medium precision bottle. I really love the browns and prize ribbon together. It truly is my favourite blue.

   
   Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have found the walk through useful and it inspires you to make something. As always, any questions, let me know and I’ll try my best to help.

3. Prize Ribbon

   18th July, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello friends. Happy Happy Sunday! Was that the best Tim Holtz New Distress Day or what?! Did it blow your distress loving socks off? It did mine!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing comments and excitement for the newest member of the distress family, Prize Ribbon. It’s such a beautiful vintage blue and there’s literal magic that happens when this distress wicks. If you missed the LIVE launch party you can catch up on Tim’s blog.

   
   I get so excited about new distress launch day that I can’t sleep the night before, it’s like Christmas. I’m very grateful to make alongside Cheiron, Paula and Stacy for the LIVE launch. My maker remit is new color + brown so I was able to “just do you” and I did just that here and pulled out my all time favourite stamp set, distinguished CMS371. I wanted my dapper gent to be dressed in his prize ribbon best attire for launch day.

   
   That’s where the idea for the prize ribbon came. I had already made a cactus tag (on my blog tomorrow) and used an idea-ology adornment prize ribbon on that tag, so I went looking through my stash for a prize ribbon that would fit between the hat and suit. Can we just stop for a moment and look at prize ribbon ink wicking! I blended a little ground espresso into the edges but that is pure prize ribbon magic right there. The number was from the new matchbox bigz die accompanying thinlit set, it just fit perfectly.

   
   Unfortunately (for you if you don’t own it) the die I used was at the back of my Tim Holtz Museum collection (tours start 2023). The mini trophy and prize ribbon movers and shapers die (659444) is long retired, however, one of the addicts from the THA group has already found one on eBay so they are still out there if you’re willing to search. No complaining about my using older products though please, I have been buying and collecting for a long time and I (and you) should always be able to mix and match the old with the new, that’s the beauty of investing in craft tools.

   
   I used a #8 etcetera thickboard tag. Covered with white gesso and then idea-ology collage wrap which I stamped on using the backgrounds from the distinguished CMS317 stamp set and the farm CMS303 stamp set. There’s a really nice prize ribbon stamp in the farm stamp set for those now seeking prize ribbons.

   
   I used the new trim dies from chapter 3 to die cut a leftover strip of woodgrain cardstock I had used for another project. I sprayed with water and then sprayed with prize ribbon distress spray stain and let it wick and run between the grain. You can see in places where the color looks almost navy! See… chameleon. LOVE it! The keys are from the idea-ology keys adornments set, added with twine that I wrapped around the tag.

   
   I sprayed a piece of mummy cloth hoarded from last years idea-ology Halloween release with prize ribbon distress spray stain. I love to use this all year so I stock up a bit at Halloween and then hope and cross everything that it comes back the following year!

   
   This is pure prize ribbon with no other distress mixed. It has such a vintage french vibe. I LOVE IT!!

   
   It feels so good to be able to say PRIZE RIBBON. It’s such a tightly held secret that I dare not speak it’s name until release day for fear of accidentally letting the distress out of the bag. So welcome to the distress family prize ribbon, you are vintage perfection and you are a keeper.

   Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be back tomorrow either with my prize ribbon cactus post or to edit when I’m coming back, because I’m running late LOL … Either way, see you tomorrow and have a great Sunday!

4. Happy 4th of July

   4th July, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello friends and Happy July 4th to my family and friends across the pond. To celebrate with you I’m sharing this July 4th inspired tag that I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous LIVE launch. If you missed the LIVE, you can catch up on all the fun over on Tim’s blog.

   
   Tim definitely had me at hats with this awesome new inquisitive CMS432 stamp set. I immediately thought of Americana and this background tag I made last year was the perfect base for this stamp set. Here’s how I made it…

   
   Add painters tape to a small etcetera thickboard tag and paint between the tape with picket fence distress paint. Once the paint is dry, remove the tape and mask the painted area with clean tape, mix candied apple, fired brick and aged mahogany distress paints together and paint. Finally paint the top of the tag with blueprint sketch distress paint and set aside to dry.

   
   …

   
   Once completely dry, lightly sand and blend in walnut stain distress ink to the edges and blue section of the tag using a mini blending tool.

   
   …

   
   Apply distress crackle texture paste through a stencil (stars THS008) with a palette knife and set aside to dry. Your tag is ready to decorate.

   
   …

   
   I stamped the larger “hat dudes” from inquisitive set onto distress watercolor cardstock in black soot distress archival ink… Using the newly released full size ink pads!! I embossed with clear embossing powder and fussy cut. I used 3D adhesive foam to create lift for some of the hat dudes and added some etcetera thickboard trims which I decorated using another stamp from the inquisitive set, for them to rest on.

   
   I used the bullseye stamp from the inquisitive stamp set and stamped in archival ink. I cut equal sections and then used the awesome Tim Holtz shaping kit from Sizzix to create this Americana bunting rosette.

   
   I stamped the numbers, again from the inquisitive stamp set and used a circle punch and some mica to create a little token to highlight the 4.

   
   Lastly I added July cut from alphanumeric thinlits dies and added some mummy cloth to the top of the tag.

   Thanks for stopping by and have a happy and safe 4th of July.

5. Salvaged Patina Sample Vignette

   18th May, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello friends. Hope you’re having a great week so far. I’m finally catching up on my blogging, just in time to get making again which is the part I love most. Today I’m sharing a “sample vignette” that I made for the LIVE launch of the new distress, Salvaged Patina! If you missed the launch, you can catch up over on Tim’s blog.

   
   I use the term “sample vignette” because this is like a sampler for things that I wanted to try the salvaged patina distress paint on. I wanted to see how it would look as a “patina” on surfaces such as foil and over distress grit-paste and it did not disappoint!

   
   I tried out the salvaged patina distress paint on alcohol ink foil tape adhered over distress kraft heavystock, embossed with the new circuit 3D embossing folder. This backdrop worked perfectly well with the mechanical gears and was a chance to see salvaged patina in my natural environment. 😉

   (salvaged patina distress paint + walnut stain distress crayon)

   
   I marked where the tiny lights were going and poked holes through the background. I used adhesive backed foam to create lift to make room for the lights.

   
   Using my dremel micro with the drill attachment, I drilled a hole in the back of the vignette box and thread the tiny lights through the back of the box and up through background.

   
   Mount the background to the back of the vignette box with adhesive backed foam and add gears die cut from the mechanical bigz die and kraft heavystock over the tiny lights.

   
   To grunge the gears up I added opaque distress grit-paste and set aside to air dry. Once dry, I painted the gears with ground espresso and black soot distress paint and again set aside to dry. Finally I rubbed crackling campfire and salvaged patina distress paint over the dried grit-paste with my finger.

   
   Using a similar technique to the one I just shared on my blog. You will need idea-ology corked tiny vials and will cover in 3 layers allowing to air dry between each. The layers are as follows:
   1. distress collage medium matte – paint on a thin layer with a paintbrush
   2. distress crackle paint clear rock candy – dip the tiny vial into the pot of distress crackle paint or paint on a thick layer with a paintbrush
   3. honeycomb alcohol ink – drip the ink over the tiny vial until completely covered

   
   I added dots of fossilized amber distress paint onto the circuit 3D embossed background with a paintbrush.

   
   Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions.

6. Funky Insects

   6th May, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello friends. Hope you’re doing well and having a nice week in your part of the world. I’m sharing a make that I created for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 2 LIVE launch. You can see all the details, makes and LIVE over on Tim’s blog.

   
   I love the new funky insect (665364) thinlits dies. I used 2 of the 5 bugs on this specimen tag. I went full crackle background with this piece, scroll down to see a crackle texture paste how to…

   
   
   
   
   I used a mini etcetera thickboard tag and idea-ology clipboard for this project.

   
   Cover the idea-0logy clipboard and etcetera tag (not pictured) with a layer of speckled egg distress paint and set aside to dry.

   
   Once dry, lightly sand, especially at the edges.

   
   Using a palette knife, add a generous layer of distress crackle texture paste.

   
   Continue adding paste until the background is mostly covered and set aside to dry.

   
   Before…

   
   After…

   
   Rub walnut stain distress crayon into the background with your finger, working it into the cracks and wipe excess from the surface with a damp cloth. The cracked paste may flake off and to that I say “thank you!” You can paint a layer of distress collage medium matte or vintage on top to stop further flaking. The vintage distress collage medium will give a nice vintage tint.

   
   Run alcohol foil tape through your machine with the new 3D circuit embossing folder (665372), adding fossilized amber distress paint to portions of the embossed circuit background. Blend vintage photo distress ink into distress cracked leather cardstock ready to add to the etcetera tag.

   
   Cover the edges of the etcetera thickboard tag with the alcohol foil and cracked leather. I ran more alcohol foil tape through the foundry 3D embossing folder (662717) and added this to the top of the idea-ology clipboard so it had a welded look.

   
   Drill holes where the clipboard will sit and push the long screws from the idea-ology vignette hardware set in through from the back and idea-ology hitch fasteners added to the top.

   
   This is how your base will look, ready to add your funky insects.

   
   The funky insects are very easy to put together and each comes on a separate die plate, making it even easier to see which piece goes with which insect.

   
   Die cut circles from the steampunk parts bigz die (664185) cover with distress paint and ink, sanding back and drying between layers for a grunge effect.

   
   I painted vintage distress collage medium onto the wings of the bee and once dry, rubbed walnut stain over the top to pick up the brush strokes.

   
   The new Tim Holtz shaping kit to creates real dimension, as used here for this ladybug.

   
   One of the wings became detached during handling, but it worked perfectly under an idea-ology optical lens with a little frayed burlap distress to colour the solo wing.

   
   I love the alphanumeric tiny type upper thinlits dies (664406).

   
   Finally, I added some leather and silk cord, bent to look like insect antenna.

   
   Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of your week.

7. Salvaged Patina

   29th April, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello friends. Did you meet the new member of the distress family? Salvaged Patina made it’s debut on Saturday during the LIVE launch on Tim Holtz YouTube channel. If you missed the party, you can catch up on all the fun over on Tim’s blog.

   
   It’s no secret that I’m a total fangirl of distress and so I was very very excited to receive Salvaged Patina ahead of the launch to make some samples. The turnaround deadline was quite tight so I didn’t have time to do full step outs, but hopefully the photos and description will be helpful. Ok lets go…

   
   Using the Perspective Butterfly (665201) thinlits set, I die cut distress watercolor cardstock. As this is an intricate die, I used a chrome plate. Sprayed the butterfly with frayed burlap and crackling campfire distress sprays and salvaged patina oxide spray. I added opaque distress grit-paste and once dry rubbed salvaged patina distress paint over the raised areas with my finger.

   
   I added some of the new idea-ology floral linen tape to the mini thickboard etcetera tag, covering the edges of the tape with translucent distress grit-paste.

   
   Once dry, I covered the entire tag with a layer of gesso, set aside to air dry, then painted on a layer of vintage distress collage medium and again set aside to air dry. Once completely dry, I rubbed walnut stain distress crayon over the dried translucent grit-paste and to the edges of the tag and the idea-ology floral linen tape.

   
   I stamped the background stamp from ledger background CMS410 stamp set in hickory smoke distress archival ink to the bottom and top of the etcetera tag. I sprayed salvaged patina distress spray stain over the top and blotted with a cloth leaving a slight hint of colour which allows salvaged patina to look very vintage when washed out.

   
   I covered an idea-ology key with gesso and added translucent distress grit-paste  and once dry added salvaged patina distress paint to the raised areas. You can see the salvaged patina distress embossing glaze underneath. Using salvaged patina oxide ink underneath, it looks like lican.

   
   I used the alphanumeric tiny type upper (664406) thinlits dies and idea-ology kraft stock stack to die cut ‘SALVAGED PATINA”. Finally adding a piece of idea-ology warm velvet trim secured with a long fastener.

   
   Thanks for stopping by. Hope you’re having a good week and let me know if you have any questions.

8. Love Wins

   11th February, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello Friends. With Valentines fast approaching I wanted to share a panel I made using the new Kitsch Flamingo distress for the Tim Holtz LIVE reveal. If you missed the party, you can catch up over on Tim’s blog.

   
   I wanted to go a little more steampunk but wasn’t convinced it was going to work with kitsch flamingo, but I’m happy to report that I was wrong! The distress paint on foil with walnut stain distress crayon just works!

   
   The kitsch flamingo distress paint over kraft heavystock is gorgeous. Paint on a thin layer and once dry, sand the edges.

   
   When I assembled the banner I felt that the pink layer looked a little washed out. That worked perfectly as the layer for my kitsch + glitch card, but for the banner I wanted the pink to pop so I added kitsch flamingo oxide ink with embossing glaze over the top. I flicked a little paint at the edges of the base layer. I die cut the top layer frame of the banner from kraft heavystock and painted with ground espresso distress paint and once dry, sanded as before.

   
   To make the heart I covered kraft heavystock with alcohol ink foil tape and die cut with the faceted heart thinlits die (664156). Before assembling the heart I embossed it using the 3D fourndry embossing folder (662717). I painted the heart with kitsch flamingo distress paint and once dry I rubbed some of the paint away with my finger and added walnut stain distress crayon.

   
   I had used the tiny clips as clamps while the distress collage medium dried. I liked them so much that I left them in place. They really are so tiny!!

   
   Finally I die cut “LOVE WINS” from the alphanumeric tiny type upper thinlits dies (664406) from kraft heavystock and covered with ground espresso distress paint. I use the distress collage medium bottle with precision tip to add glue to the back of the letters.

   
   Thanks for stopping by.

9. Kitsch + Glitch

   6th February, 2021 by iGirlZoe

   

   Hello Friends. Kitsch Flamingo has most definitely landed. If you missed the LIVE launch, you can catch up on all the fun over on Tim’s blog.

   
   For this make I could definitely feel the dark side calling me back as I matched kitsch flamingo with the glitch 2 CMS404 stamps and gears from the mechanical bigz (665225) die.

   
   I started with a wash of frayed burlap distress spray onto distress watercolor cardstock and dried. I used the ledger script CMS241 background stamp, one of my favourite ever background stamps, stamping in kitsch flamingo oxide ink.

   
   I stamped the glitch 2 CMS404 stamp in distress archival ink and blended in a little frayed burlap distress ink with a paintbrush. I spritzed with water letting the kitsch flamingo and frayed burlap wick and dried with a heat tool.

   
   The kitsch flamingo distress paint works beautifully on the idea-ology thought tokens. It really pops against the metal.

   
   I die cut gears from the mechanical bigz die (665225) in alcohol foil tape embossed with the foundry 3D folder (662717). I added ground espresso distress paint to the background and evergreen bough distress paint to the rivets.

   
   I added an extra piece of alcohol foil tape that had been embossed with the 3D foundry folder (662717). I painted kitsch flamingo distress paint onto kraft heavystock and sanded the edges to make a co-ordinated background. I scored and folded another piece of kraft heavystock for the card base. I love this kraft heavystock, it’s so sturdy.

   
   I finished the gears off by adding an idea-ology hardware head in the center. These remain one of my favourite and most used of the smaller idea-ology pieces.

   
   Thanks for stopping by. If you haven’t heard the news, Tim Holtz and Mario Rossi are returning to our screens on Saturday’s for LIVES on YouTube. Tune in at 9AM PT and don’t forget your snacks.

10. Kitsch Flamingo

    2nd February, 2021 by iGirlZoe

    

    Hello friends! Happy New Distress! If you haven’t seen Tim Holtz reveal the newest member of the distress family, head over to Tim’s Blog and give a warm welcome to Kitsch Flamingo!

    
    When Tim asked me if I would make a few samples for the new distress it was without knowing what the new colour was! After I agreed we played “guess the new colour” and as Tim had asked me to make, I was confident it wasn’t pink! You should have seen my face! “You tricked me!” I said laughing. “It goes with brown” Tim said with a grin!

    
    I love that the different distress products give you a different palette for kitsch flamingo. For example, using the distress re-inker gives you a much darker and richer pink tone, whilst the distress paint is much lighter. I’m definitely team distress OG but the oxide in kitsch flamingo is awesome. It also works as the perfect ink to add distress embossing glaze to. The glaze is phenomenal. I’m going to need a bigger jar!! I rubbed a tiny bit of walnut stain distress crayon to tone down the pink.

    
    The distress spray is perfect to dye this piece of crinkle ribbon. I swiped a little walnut stain ink over the top and I genuinely love the vintage pink tone you get with kitsch flamingo and walnut stain!

    
    I added distress grit-paste through the grime stencil and once dry, painted a little evergreen bough distress paint and walnut stain distress crayon over the top. I love the juxtaposition between the gritty grunge and the kitsch flamingo distress embossing glaze over kitsch flamingo distress oxide ink.

    
    I love this sentiment from the tiny text stamps (CMS394), it goes perfectly with the moth from the specimen stamps (CMS410) and it reminds me of the encouragement that I’ve been given to create bravely. I think you’ll agree that kraft heavystock next to the kitsch flamingo, is a yummy match too.

    
    Finally, I flicked a little Kitsch Flamingo distress paint at the tag and inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink.

    I have to admit it… Kitsch Flamingo has made me love pink!

    Thanks for stopping by.
