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 

Stacy Hutchinson blog to see her gorgeous project! You are sure to be inspired!

Creativation Recap!

Hello friends! Well I'm back from Creativation and what a whirlwind it was. So fun meeting new friends and catching up with other friends. I have meet some of the most amazing people in this industry. Thank you! 

It's hard to believe that it's over! After a year of planning from product development, booth planning, new fixtures, getting the product manufactured, getting sample made and the list goes on. Tim Holtz and Paula Cheney work their magic with lots of hard work, dedication, passion and countless hours. Thank you! I am in awe at how it all comes together. So grateful to be part of such an amazing team. Here are a few, well more then a few, pictures of how it all comes together....

Everyone starts unpacking boxes and boxes of vintage treasures and props. 

It's always fun to see whats new.

SIZZIX

I was honored to work in the Sizzix booth again this year demoing and talking about the Tim Holtz Alteration line. The NEW 3-D line was a big hit and it was so fun to see all excitement. And who doesn't love the 3-D glasses. 

 Look at how cute the diner for the Sidekick and Side Orders turned out! 

The diner is complete with a little jute box and restaurant ticket holder. 

January release.

February release. 

March release.

The village series. 

The new 3-D texture fades and 3-D Impresslits that emboss and cut with one die available in April. 

Everyone had so much fun wearing the 3-D glasses to see the display! 

Don't you just love it!
