Tim Holtz - Creativation 2019 - Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Tim Holtz - Creativation 2019 Blog Hop and give away. It's going to be a great hop full of amazing projects and inspiration! I hope you enjoy all the beautiful project from the talented artists. 

The Tim Holtz booths included Idea-ology, Ranger, Sizzix, Stampers Anonymous and Tonic Studios. A special thanks to Tim Holtz for inspiring us, creating products we all love to use and being so innovative with new products. Thanks to Mario for all the BTS! and a big thank you to Paula for all her hard work and dedication. 

First I took a paper cache heart and cut it in half with scissors. 

Cover the outside of the heart with Collage Paper using Distress Collage Medium in Vintage. Brush the heart with the Collage Medium then carefully res the Collage Paper to the heart, continue working until it's completely covered and let dry or dry with a heat tool.

Sand the edges to remove the excess Collage Paper. 

Apply a thin coat of Collage Medium over the top of the Collage Paper. 

Repeat the process and cover the inside of the heart. don't forget to apply a layer over the top to seal. If the inside of the heart is dark you may want to paint it a light color. 

Add Gadget Gears, Mini Gears, Sprocket Gears, Game Spiners, Keys, Story Stick, Pocket Watch. Hardware Heads etc... Use small wood blocks and/or foam tape to add gears at different levels.  

Once you're done here please head over to

The project I'm sharing today was for the Sizzix booth featuring the new Funky Florals #1 Thinlits set, Alpha Numeric 3/4"Thinlits, Cut Out Script Bigz XL die and the Tea Time Bigz die. 


The Funky Florals set comes with lots of different flowers in the one set. 
I can't wait for the other 2 set to come out. 

First I chose a color palette, pinks, reds, gold and greens with a little black for the centers. I added Sizzix adhesive sheets to the back of the card stock before die cutting.


 I die cut lots of flowers and greenery to work with. I love that the dies fit through the little Side Kick. The Side Kick is so convenient. I also use foam dots to elevate some of the flowers and the tea cup. 

LIVE LIFE IN FULL was die cut from the 3/4 " Alphanumeric Thinlits die set and BLOOM was cut with the new Cut Out Script Bigz XL die, the die was designed so the letter connect to each other so you can create words. 

I used the Framed Panel from Idea-ology, stained it with Vintage Photo Distress Spray Stain then added a little Ranger Foil Sheets was added to the raised part of the frame with Collage Glue Stick.  

A huge THANK YOU to Tim Holtz for creating innovative products for all of us to use. He always AMAZES me!
