Hello friends! I’m back with another Christmas card. I’m pretty sure that I am way behind schedule at this stage, but the fun I am having creating holiday cards in the correct season, makes up for the late nights and sheer panic that await me… at some point I must start my Christmas shopping! *insert hysterical laughter* As soon as Tim Holtz announced his holiday…

I don’t want to freak anyone out, but we’re 3 days into December! Just going to leave that there… I find it difficult to skip the details when using Tim Holtz products. They work so perfectly together that it’s easy to get carried away, even when time isn’t on your side. That said, having the right tools makes even the more detailed cards, short work.…

It’s December, and true to my nature, I am not ready or prepared! I have hundreds of unfulfilled ideas, the beginnings of lots of Christmas cards and projects and I keep repeating to myself, “next year will be different… next year I’ll be organized!” When it comes to creating, it takes me longer to get into my holiday stride than at Halloween. The inventor stamps…

Christmas is coming and it’s time to think about decking the halls. I was inspired by the wonderful new Tim Holtz holiday idea-ology to make a holiday table decoration. Living in Denmark for the past couple of years, I wanted to add a little Scandi style to my Christmas decorations. The woodland theme is popular here, so the tree ring die was perfect and that’s…

Meet Ebenezer Bones, with a hat straight off the pages of Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’… it had to be done! I’m slowly weaning myself off halloween and finding my Christmas spirit. Made easier with the new Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous holiday stamps… yuletide (cms356), music & advert (cms358) and mr bones (cms345). Mr Bones fit perfectly into the wreath from the yuletide set. His teeth…

Hello friends. I am back with a Sunday step by step for the witches hat that is hanging in The Witches Boutique, using the Tim Holtz idea-ology tag press. Gather these supplies, all are listed at the bottom of the post and the black felt is from my own stash. I WISH I had some deep purple felt, I’ll have to order some witchy colours…

Hello friends. Hope you had a happy halloween with lots of treats. Today I’m sharing the halloween banner I made using some of Tim Holtz Halloween 2018 products. I loved this years Halloween release, but my heart was stolen by Mr Bones from the Mr Bones stamp set (cms345). Using 3 of my favourite distress oxide inks from the final colour release, I created a…

Happy Halloween The doors of the Wicked Witches Boutique creak open for business… step inside and behold the poisonous potions, pickled pumpkins, fine fashions, gorgeous gems, bedazzled broomsticks and haunted hats. These idea-ology corked domes have been long time favourites of mine. I added a pumpkin and skull inside one and a spider from the adornment halloween set to the other. These spiders are so…
