Winter White village

Hi everyone,

Today I have a fun project to share that was very time consuming but crazy enjoyable to create using the Tim Holtz village series dies.

This is my village.

I created 6 houses for my piece.

My husband cut a couple of nice wood slices from some firewood that we had and I built up my village from there. The only thing I wish I had when making this were some Distress Mica flakes. They would have added a nice touch. I used what I had on hand from the $$ store.













I used 2 large wood slices and glued them together a little offset for my base. I added a bunch of wood shavings, glitter, red berries, branches, pine cones, styrofoam balls etc. I adhered all the houses and added my white tree to the middle.

I added Aleene’s Glitter Snow paste to all the roof tops and doorway peaks to add a subtle sparkle. The red bird is a die from Lawn Fawn.

Overall size is approximately 8.6” L x 6” W.

Well this is it for my project and stay tuned for my house projects as I now have the 87 piece set from Sizzix and Tim Holtz.

Supplies:
Sizzix/Tim Holtz Thinlits 664741 & 665585

Holiday note

 Hi everyone,

Well it’s been a while since I have posted here but I hope you have all had a joyful Christmas as much as anyone can under the current circumstances.

Well that said I have a card to share with you today.


I started with a green stitched panel and adhered my stencil from the Warm Wishes Collection by Vicki Boutin and then added green glitter over top. 
I added red Stickles to the berries and set the whole thing aside to dry.

The sentiment was stamped on black card stock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I adhered my panel to a lighter piece of green card stock and then added it to my white card base.

This is a pretty quick card and oh so pretty with all that glitter.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻
