I thought I would try to see if Distress Collage Medium would take some of the shine off, I wanted them a little duller. It worked exactly how I wanted but the colour was slightly altered, a bit pinky orange in there(which I thought was great!). I just put a very tiny amount on my finger and lightly rubbed it on each bubble and let them dry. I glued the small piece of orange coloured (distress orange spray stain) Mummy cloth around the inside edge of the cauldron and down the side(covering the tiny light strand). The candlestick was added in after the bubbles were dry.

The photo is from the sticker book. The frame is in the same package as the candlesticks. The skull & bones are packaged together. The broom is packaged with the cauldron and gravestones. For the vial, I added a drop or two of orange alcohol inside and swirled it around. The outside was coated with Collage Medium and air dried. I always put a layer of this medium on glass, metal, anything non-porous, first before I apply paint, helps the paint adhere. Once the vial was dry, I applied Transparent Crackle Paste. A bit of orange paint in the cracks and a label from the book clipping stickers, and a metal 13 tag completed it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJM3iwNV0_iq-dPEtjTr6S8Ky6wm2fRf4rSsi50mYAQejV3Mm1L4mFwSwT9hkSZMoSvPFJ0J4nk833dvgjzu_xaxsP84UsTrz4BdRQakXfsU9iNGmLK8yFnNT9MfPZcybjdYUUN2SF2U7JpBwi8RtMApyiJxppPsUniK_coJs_VyCFKiiB65LLYo56t0K6/s800/halloweenglobe%2319@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJM3iwNV0_iq-dPEtjTr6S8Ky6wm2fRf4rSsi50mYAQejV3Mm1L4mFwSwT9hkSZMoSvPFJ0J4nk833dvgjzu_xaxsP84UsTrz4BdRQakXfsU9iNGmLK8yFnNT9MfPZcybjdYUUN2SF2U7JpBwi8RtMApyiJxppPsUniK_coJs_VyCFKiiB65LLYo56t0K6/w400-h400/halloweenglobe%2319@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Gilded Foundry Wax was added to the raised areas of my frame and then a touch of Crypt Grit Paste, highlighted with a touch of orange distress paint.

Another book is glued right behind the frame, sandwiching the frame between the two books. Add in some mummy cloth and moss to finish off the vignette.

For a few extra dots, Lost Shadow ink sprayed with water on my mat, and the paper dipped on to my ink splotches. I left enough room to die-cut circles around each image. I've used Sizzix Stitched Circles 662229. I decided later to tear/snip off the smooth edge, as I wanted the piece underneath to show more.

I usually save those little leftover pieces, they come in handy! I've also used smaller ephemera or the journal cards as the pattern's are smaller. I cut out some of the larger stamped parts and glued these in the same places on the watercolour paper images. You don't have to cut out stamped lines that stick out, they will show up on your main stamped image.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOz0XV0hMlnv0dR3nkSaxgwFe2tBQyJ2LTsx-vMwr-RtxAlqVFyp4evzYx96oiCYZmI0_igvuybs_pCvumtqYL6KAjhLly-26QYVIptKjBLCUwZ1gQ9IGq6z4lTUa0M9XHeGmqgpLmlBidkoX2bisWd1LlHNXrkmRoNZZX9VVHJr-3xHQ3K3RhkCvsZyU/s800/christmasbanner%233@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOz0XV0hMlnv0dR3nkSaxgwFe2tBQyJ2LTsx-vMwr-RtxAlqVFyp4evzYx96oiCYZmI0_igvuybs_pCvumtqYL6KAjhLly-26QYVIptKjBLCUwZ1gQ9IGq6z4lTUa0M9XHeGmqgpLmlBidkoX2bisWd1LlHNXrkmRoNZZX9VVHJr-3xHQ3K3RhkCvsZyU/w400-h400/christmasbanner%233@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before glueing on these pieces, do any inking or this Santa one, I applied the Sparkle Texture Paste to my Santa Bag (with a brush).

It's a huge set made for larger machines, but I use the smaller dies. If you don't have a banner die set, this shape is easy to cut out with a trimmer or craft knife. I've cut out a black cardstock mat slightly larger than my patterned paper and machine stitched the two together. I love banners that have lots of layers, they just seem to look better to me. So I just kept adding more layers, lol!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmKl_c9EHI7P-cNSrkGpHgIp0_uCo4aRJ7DZ4h3t9OMQB3a5PIqAz1lrfMVQHFPk7yH1dQz4w_-LozBGOaHfIrYT-vqUWufSuqMwixsn9sccV2266wdb9a1qFmf6ZKmdc5PVph-dJ1TgO8sf2wLbhzMw7KmVQr-yp5WRIzkmUiT01S_erGueU3uk0b3_P/s800/christmasbanner%2310@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmKl_c9EHI7P-cNSrkGpHgIp0_uCo4aRJ7DZ4h3t9OMQB3a5PIqAz1lrfMVQHFPk7yH1dQz4w_-LozBGOaHfIrYT-vqUWufSuqMwixsn9sccV2266wdb9a1qFmf6ZKmdc5PVph-dJ1TgO8sf2wLbhzMw7KmVQr-yp5WRIzkmUiT01S_erGueU3uk0b3_P/w400-h400/christmasbanner%2310@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Forgot to take a photo earlier, but this embossed layer is a slightly larger size and is Kraft Heavystock embossed with the 3D Woodgrain Texture Fade Embossing Folder (555297).

I've added some dots and dashes of Glossy Accents and Rock Candy Glitter on my stamped images and circles for extra Christmasy goodness.

Today I'm sharing a card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix 2023 Everyday collection. The wedding season is upon us and I thought it would be fun to create a card. I always like to create a special card to include with the wedding gift, which lately it seems like it ends up as gift card or money, so a special card becomes the gift too. This card can also be for an anniversary too.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_MDUHxGbz9GQ2oU1YptRjddKHXTNbRWGLktx5YfaVaWgtCad96LQ3nT1SvBt3QfPzUqE2Rzon9THBhkPQJ8DFX0VWuvxJLQNDpx0Mp48NMdZEdZFJO9xCLCYA2WpQtSnxn3g_PLE4Aqdn65aMhXxFVAxFYATbyEuqwaNbLs5pjhcdZOu8wD_IMwZrA/s800/%22love%22weddingcard@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_MDUHxGbz9GQ2oU1YptRjddKHXTNbRWGLktx5YfaVaWgtCad96LQ3nT1SvBt3QfPzUqE2Rzon9THBhkPQJ8DFX0VWuvxJLQNDpx0Mp48NMdZEdZFJO9xCLCYA2WpQtSnxn3g_PLE4Aqdn65aMhXxFVAxFYATbyEuqwaNbLs5pjhcdZOu8wD_IMwZrA/w640-h640/%22love%22weddingcard@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> I gave myself a challenge of using the Gentlemen Thinlits set with this wedding theme.

I'm sharing a project today that was created for the Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2023 release. If you missed Tim's YouTube Live of the reveal, a link to his replay video can be viewed <a href="https://timholtz.com" target="_blank">here</a> or on Tim's YouTube Channel. You always learn so much about his products, little hints on how to use them or even the thought process behind the creation, not to mention the inspiration from all the talented maker's projects.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKdZuz7XmW_Mg7FpWDrpuxAp3-PIiLIMEMfy0jCiAfZG4w6d91X3VFfIsMiwWKg1Y8OdHeoeJKJvt7ifgsVFwHsruFo0lbkGWH6arC90JUu_q3z-T6Hxctb-nusG92QqSxdYFtcjecbBzDa-MAYY56-W0lEry6vt1_hnHzHKpdSmtvHXfBEuIPldb0Mw/s800/sqvignettepanel2023@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKdZuz7XmW_Mg7FpWDrpuxAp3-PIiLIMEMfy0jCiAfZG4w6d91X3VFfIsMiwWKg1Y8OdHeoeJKJvt7ifgsVFwHsruFo0lbkGWH6arC90JUu_q3z-T6Hxctb-nusG92QqSxdYFtcjecbBzDa-MAYY56-W0lEry6vt1_hnHzHKpdSmtvHXfBEuIPldb0Mw/w640-h640/sqvignettepanel2023@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is my first make I will be sharing today. I've created this vignette using the Square Vignette Display Panel. In this release, colour palettes have been created in all the paper goods, which I find so inspiring. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I normally gravitate to anything green (I've always loved the colour green, even when I was little, no pink for me!) but for some reason, I was drawn to all of the blue tones. I've taken a lot of photos, so hopefully there's something in this project that inspires you to include in any of your own projects. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Xfs7ch_ejgg3_i-F3FDBnIUTp1tUcIuqiWJRRGGN2m8xoBxWDo4_T6qkCmerW82pf9ZBYjGQ-OfRAPhZI7FawcfNJwz7kY-x3yoqgP1bkGXQYPRLhdMqJmtI9w-PLlkXwo7kkfNuzorGrNc24SwFtmzdN1W09hYtR1OHafPk5Y3R1hpLJMK0gErlFA/s900/sqvignettepanel%2341@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Xfs7ch_ejgg3_i-F3FDBnIUTp1tUcIuqiWJRRGGN2m8xoBxWDo4_T6qkCmerW82pf9ZBYjGQ-OfRAPhZI7FawcfNJwz7kY-x3yoqgP1bkGXQYPRLhdMqJmtI9w-PLlkXwo7kkfNuzorGrNc24SwFtmzdN1W09hYtR1OHafPk5Y3R1hpLJMK0gErlFA/w640-h640/sqvignettepanel%2341@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I feel like I need to include tiny lights in all my vignettes now!

I’ve used Distress Watercolour Cardstock coloured with Distress Sprays and Oxide Sprays. I wanted this Cardstock to slightly disappear into the background, so I kept the colours soft and similar to my paper colour choices. The Cardstock is 8 1/2 by 11", so I cut mine to 8 1/2 x 8 1/2", slightly smaller than the 9 x 9 panel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEideLHukiC7LtY11f9h_XvkwL_4UyMi-60DIQUfO65mDmzq_j-7me79SKFAn5mGjuxBd4u9VztLou-sczCMbNO7jZ7e3gmBspPb8_ZK6NSaCagikP0ExoMOMg9ykaSqaUuyp0JN7T5JRYI3jXSKV-xGk9B0FqMu7bbgUo4G0fGe9oK-SZVqThu0qN2g0A/s800/sqvignettepanel%233@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEideLHukiC7LtY11f9h_XvkwL_4UyMi-60DIQUfO65mDmzq_j-7me79SKFAn5mGjuxBd4u9VztLou-sczCMbNO7jZ7e3gmBspPb8_ZK6NSaCagikP0ExoMOMg9ykaSqaUuyp0JN7T5JRYI3jXSKV-xGk9B0FqMu7bbgUo4G0fGe9oK-SZVqThu0qN2g0A/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%233@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After colouring my paper, I stamped with Frayed Burlap Archival Ink and then embossed with Distress Lost Shadow Glaze. I've stamped parts of my stamps, randomly, mostly just pressing my stamp into the paper without a stamp block or platform. If some stamped parts didn't pick up any glaze powder, I was ok with that. Quite a bit of this is going to be covered with embellishments.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyrVDqnYUAI9KKjQeCKy0d5zJ9_1AVyzvep-s13dpNktUmi8g-EZMGfOkhg4So11ZLj5cYQFNgnITFOXSy1vodYpNutvOMVJJUWsZmtvahUAkdFe_NeDFv3fi5dxsJZ44PVPUd9X6EPon-1tjrb28uc5PUO67gsBS12rDXi-Y8gipdQQdkgd-vHZU2kg/s800/sqvignettepanel%234@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyrVDqnYUAI9KKjQeCKy0d5zJ9_1AVyzvep-s13dpNktUmi8g-EZMGfOkhg4So11ZLj5cYQFNgnITFOXSy1vodYpNutvOMVJJUWsZmtvahUAkdFe_NeDFv3fi5dxsJZ44PVPUd9X6EPon-1tjrb28uc5PUO67gsBS12rDXi-Y8gipdQQdkgd-vHZU2kg/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%234@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I randomly added Statue Foundry Wax to parts of my stamped images.

I added about 1/4” extra in width, so that it folded onto the back. My watercolour cardstock doesn't quite reach the edge, so this covers the exposed wood. I've applied my Opaque Crackle Medium on the inside and along the wood panel edge. After this has dried, use a Distress Crayon (Walnut Stain) in the cracks and using my finger, I apply a little bit of water that has been tinted with brown ink.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GgedIUXIIFyDhrhpYg5J6d8JZUk3B4EifnYyIn-6Lu6zD9zlaCaOoqHWZ_2_mdR0_NpE4pUEfzD-WFbxziUxR5enAM_tRzFabUeJyjlLj5mLWjq7Lk7-JjrT5BrsAqSCVFnljZmaYjPvYOuRAKz9lruXnoA8oEw3dep7Vm8YtrdcIEUPyS3vpldXQg/s800/sqvignettepanel%236@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GgedIUXIIFyDhrhpYg5J6d8JZUk3B4EifnYyIn-6Lu6zD9zlaCaOoqHWZ_2_mdR0_NpE4pUEfzD-WFbxziUxR5enAM_tRzFabUeJyjlLj5mLWjq7Lk7-JjrT5BrsAqSCVFnljZmaYjPvYOuRAKz9lruXnoA8oEw3dep7Vm8YtrdcIEUPyS3vpldXQg/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%236@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The edge of the Heavystock paper was machine stitched. Before adhering anything, mark where you want your hole to be drilled for the Tiny Lights then create the hole. The wood is pretty soft, so usually I just poke a hole through with my Tim Holtz Die Pick tool and then with a long cylinder Needle file, enlarge it big enough for the string of lights to go through. Mine was slightly lower than the middle, as I knew I was only using lights at the bottom of my inner vignette box.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_W1FAL1iD-wwCtlUseru4YvdVzyD3lI9fRSAPidBc4JWY8Zb0SOaOelOUPgGjSniYpsD7yy8tv0lcDElOfFTp15Pkmlk_v7bfotguVpzaI8nJdFiGORqA951s0rHsINLjXOTt9Gfajx4mcWJbOFIQc9W2uBYx3VvDWLRjYaabH4cI832jAsed5ppa2w/s900/sqvignettepanel%239@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_W1FAL1iD-wwCtlUseru4YvdVzyD3lI9fRSAPidBc4JWY8Zb0SOaOelOUPgGjSniYpsD7yy8tv0lcDElOfFTp15Pkmlk_v7bfotguVpzaI8nJdFiGORqA951s0rHsINLjXOTt9Gfajx4mcWJbOFIQc9W2uBYx3VvDWLRjYaabH4cI832jAsed5ppa2w/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%239@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I’ve glued my paper on the inside of my panel. Poke through for the lights hole. I’m going to mention here that if you wanted to sew any of the paper pieces to your paper beforehand, I would do it now before gluing down this piece. I was going to sew some of my paper ephemera to this before I glued it down (the ones surrounding the inner vignette box), and forgot. Oh well..... In one corner, I had the paper curl out more, so I stuck in a piece of ephemera (stamps) under the watercolour piece.</div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwoJyJtZA86mc5jbrQJc1A-tPPTWtiWhs1Ed7pKX2_X1rOAMQqvlu2yGzdlNtLjJz4DU42YSRHyA4Vu86Dp-Jvz_3IqMQSqEL5ZAsEHM8il87UovAN7Z13ImtO7BwP_R4xTN_MiYYu-vKDdGWQppe1JdKjXmh3UlQAVSSnl3Hbq_ABbNs3pXsk7Km_Bg/s900/sqvignettepanel%237@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwoJyJtZA86mc5jbrQJc1A-tPPTWtiWhs1Ed7pKX2_X1rOAMQqvlu2yGzdlNtLjJz4DU42YSRHyA4Vu86Dp-Jvz_3IqMQSqEL5ZAsEHM8il87UovAN7Z13ImtO7BwP_R4xTN_MiYYu-vKDdGWQppe1JdKjXmh3UlQAVSSnl3Hbq_ABbNs3pXsk7Km_Bg/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%237@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I’ve covered the back with Backdrops Volume 4 paper.

I've applied a generous amount of Collage Medium first to the Backdrops paper, then laid down the Collage paper. Smooth this out with Collage Medium on top. I use my Distress Collage Brush (TDA50896) for larger surfaces, it is designed to spread easier as it is hollow on the inside to hold your medium. Poke through the hole for your lights. I don't have any photos of the process, but I did cover the outside sides of my panel after this. I have finished photos of some of the finished sides at the end of this tutorial.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFD5UROXoKzMMjOfA5Z2J51xv41BBgSkjXAa8TI8d5kSCo7mMS-a0hP2QqBTUcPfFlwUGgfy4AxdvU8b_FSC_mGzjYiz1GCQZY66BEjowKKb6bWmBaz5V08gSyPkpeR3hlDJmGfcEXwTQSwIrCILjcYwj-J7RgAKX5RhxM3I5eqLyKGxoE816aqDM3g/s900/sqvignettepanel%2310@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpFD5UROXoKzMMjOfA5Z2J51xv41BBgSkjXAa8TI8d5kSCo7mMS-a0hP2QqBTUcPfFlwUGgfy4AxdvU8b_FSC_mGzjYiz1GCQZY66BEjowKKb6bWmBaz5V08gSyPkpeR3hlDJmGfcEXwTQSwIrCILjcYwj-J7RgAKX5RhxM3I5eqLyKGxoE816aqDM3g/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%2310@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, I worked on my small square vignette box (4 x 4").

This box will be adhered in the centre of the panel.

They are a bit fiddly but fun to make and use in your vignettes. I cut a strip of the Sparkle Kraftstock, taking into consideration how wide you want your box and add in a little extra on for each side (the sides are folded in to support the top and bottom). I've scored lines on each side. Double sided adhesive is applied to the two outsides. This label is a bit trickier, there are lots of sharp points, so you have to clip the two side pieces where it comes to a point. I do this as I go along, when adhering to the top piece. It doesn't have to be perfect, you can always hide the parts you don't like! I had cut out a piece of scrap paper for the bottom, matching the top. Glue the bottom on, folding in the sides.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjUVFcCnMwQC0jkkgM1sCX_9CsDMWiDwnWfikI2Ugif9NExoZIeosztHLRk1KwgdlLWkrlLHmSfuGJfri3sz5ZNPlBPB4iAJgREa16dcEg49OzZoq95VvXhIL1tR8NPXK3D078wiuuKutwHQ0eOyoHcchwpbcz62-677i0yseC5ckA9du0zovOKJ7Isw/s900/sqvignettepanel%2331@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjUVFcCnMwQC0jkkgM1sCX_9CsDMWiDwnWfikI2Ugif9NExoZIeosztHLRk1KwgdlLWkrlLHmSfuGJfri3sz5ZNPlBPB4iAJgREa16dcEg49OzZoq95VvXhIL1tR8NPXK3D078wiuuKutwHQ0eOyoHcchwpbcz62-677i0yseC5ckA9du0zovOKJ7Isw/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%2331@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Distress the edges and top of the label, I also added in a label from the Ephemera Package.

I've aged a handle from the Mini Hardware Set and adhered this on my top of the panel. Fasteners that have been hammered were added in the handle holes. Holes were poked into the wood, so the brad ends would go in. I've clipped the ends, as they were a bit too long, and also added Collage Medium to secure them. A bit of Grit Paste was added around the ends. I was almost out of Opaque Crackle Paste, so I did add a bit of the Transparent Crackle Paste to the crackled areas.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBqxhW1WColRQ-5WaCiuA-MMun_c-4aDWEbV0FGOv3QYgmIVKlFxYPDpXP1leCyKt8Bu35s8Ym5fGUJjLKiVTlo3B9L5EoShqiYt3HXpmQNnhQuy4Fwl7EPY0cNePiMcllCTVgyEixMhEvefoOkKOHet72UzaefGAEtpS15bMY8prlflvslU-MWLspsw/s900/sqvignettepanel%2344@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBqxhW1WColRQ-5WaCiuA-MMun_c-4aDWEbV0FGOv3QYgmIVKlFxYPDpXP1leCyKt8Bu35s8Ym5fGUJjLKiVTlo3B9L5EoShqiYt3HXpmQNnhQuy4Fwl7EPY0cNePiMcllCTVgyEixMhEvefoOkKOHet72UzaefGAEtpS15bMY8prlflvslU-MWLspsw/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%2344@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Besides Ephemera pieces, I used some Collage Palette Paper pieces on the sides.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHk43hX05VUTxpiRnqimMvIPdPWEScP-ap33JS9XJjIEGZsyekXZKDHcBRE3vbN5m6lvbodxQY9NYAi8fkiOloaWnqwuFPB8UHiyqYdrVbfCei46w9zxBtMVyb3rSUG_oMN4_cADiLBuGU5M4-0-nQM54fHLC3C6W7ww80bpu2KYNVx_7fqLhuJxVX0A/s900/sqvignettepanel%2345@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHk43hX05VUTxpiRnqimMvIPdPWEScP-ap33JS9XJjIEGZsyekXZKDHcBRE3vbN5m6lvbodxQY9NYAi8fkiOloaWnqwuFPB8UHiyqYdrVbfCei46w9zxBtMVyb3rSUG_oMN4_cADiLBuGU5M4-0-nQM54fHLC3C6W7ww80bpu2KYNVx_7fqLhuJxVX0A/w400-h400/sqvignettepanel%2345@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a close-up of the corner where I had it bent forward.

I used the negative space of my Christmas Woodgrain paper for my card background so I wanted the letters straight. I left out the letter “N” in the word as I was going to add that (just the outline) over my car luggage. I’ve repeated this with the black Woodgrain paper. You could also use just plain black cardstock, as you are only going to use the outline part of the letter die-cut. Remove the white outline part of the letters and replace it with the black.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJltFyKRJ032-VZDvyUw9Ro2VXEIuuLGP3YLt6jHHsZG6EbwiVoq6djXTHWA5ysZs0iD1vuh1sE6l36BcKzWATvDJPZ94thf64L_Mtbo33qBkGgwTJWjGcv3r1A5Gmcva1gMiCvsLL7lDt5yAGWrgRXgEQe1eqmLsq2WG18G6Reiw43UvauQ9TD9w_Mg/s900/roadtrip%234@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJltFyKRJ032-VZDvyUw9Ro2VXEIuuLGP3YLt6jHHsZG6EbwiVoq6djXTHWA5ysZs0iD1vuh1sE6l36BcKzWATvDJPZ94thf64L_Mtbo33qBkGgwTJWjGcv3r1A5Gmcva1gMiCvsLL7lDt5yAGWrgRXgEQe1eqmLsq2WG18G6Reiw43UvauQ9TD9w_Mg/w400-h400/roadtrip%234@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To add the die-cut tree so it looks like it’s embedded into the letter, leave your letters on the sticky grid. This is a bit tricky, and I’m not sure if I can explain this properly or even if I remember how I did it, but here goes! Sorry, I was suffering from a painful abscessed tooth at the time and on painkillers, so that didn’t help!lol!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My tree pieces are already cut out with my chosen colours, but do not assemble the tree yet. For small pieces, I add adhesive sheets to the back of my paper before die-cutting. It really makes it easier to assemble your small die-cuts. Place the bottom tree piece on top of letters where you would like it. I tried to pick the best place where it wasn’t going to die-cut the pieces too narrow or tiny. Cut each layer of the tree separately as it’s too thick to do it assembled. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3RfwKVXlbWM0c6Jtcn3I1IEkylmvvhUuluNCq9O6z-gmpY5ke8y-t83BC0Qr5EeXAPa8lLx4GkoDmVlFhwGHZjYGRcCfzWI0IT4_DsHII5nNXpRTdNgRu9GBUlOt2QyVbaFqbOujAZNv8_71-LRRSMv7uSbJSZz_Re1P4h-mzXj_J8c_ktqN1MNnGg/s900/roadtrip%237@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid3RfwKVXlbWM0c6Jtcn3I1IEkylmvvhUuluNCq9O6z-gmpY5ke8y-t83BC0Qr5EeXAPa8lLx4GkoDmVlFhwGHZjYGRcCfzWI0IT4_DsHII5nNXpRTdNgRu9GBUlOt2QyVbaFqbOujAZNv8_71-LRRSMv7uSbJSZz_Re1P4h-mzXj_J8c_ktqN1MNnGg/w400-h400/roadtrip%237@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I’ve used masking tape to tape down the next tree sections so it doesn’t move. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6DNHgPETIcZRsCB2zFd9Fr3PrwGz2ejsN_rJVSxjdoUT3gSphvq8lAoCLs5ikQGCO3krVKUUSGHsd0ChOR9WPfyJyQ1Ojei-Z9OgjA8f6DwqQiPShKAB0NK_JpcHIX_BO7PS9bu61ZzwXe92HZRpwTBQJD10_AjiYGa4HgV5BDiABKu_75vq6iYyZw/s900/Roadtripcard%236@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6DNHgPETIcZRsCB2zFd9Fr3PrwGz2ejsN_rJVSxjdoUT3gSphvq8lAoCLs5ikQGCO3krVKUUSGHsd0ChOR9WPfyJyQ1Ojei-Z9OgjA8f6DwqQiPShKAB0NK_JpcHIX_BO7PS9bu61ZzwXe92HZRpwTBQJD10_AjiYGa4HgV5BDiABKu_75vq6iYyZw/w400-h400/Roadtripcard%236@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After the tree parts are die-cut, you are now going to remove the letters and place your tree dies on the sticky grid.

To get the dark brown colour, I applied Distress Archival Ground Espresso ink directly to my embossing folder on the one side where the debossed background is. Carefully place the embossed & crayoned paper back on the opposite side facing the inked one. You can feel where the paper fits back into the right grooves. Close the folder carefully and run through your machine again. That’s it! Some areas might not ink solid, but I liked that. Cover the back and sides of the drawer with your embossed paper. </div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiH4dXmLtHMPCRwYJWtwJGtfkR33LAcvy7dS4wJGaxNcD3PPcalXJUHJ1OmAg7xrZmotXNEnpj6mjSUdTiBfXmGOXn4zLWeO7Mlnm3XS98TJe-Nbl5fIRPXi1MyjXv3Qo42JJV435YXP92NasHJ822ND5ngIpTdx7qUgiIOyKF9vLLLFLJQWgu2jsNg/s900/bunnystitchvignette%2313@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiH4dXmLtHMPCRwYJWtwJGtfkR33LAcvy7dS4wJGaxNcD3PPcalXJUHJ1OmAg7xrZmotXNEnpj6mjSUdTiBfXmGOXn4zLWeO7Mlnm3XS98TJe-Nbl5fIRPXi1MyjXv3Qo42JJV435YXP92NasHJ822ND5ngIpTdx7qUgiIOyKF9vLLLFLJQWgu2jsNg/w400-h400/bunnystitchvignette%2313@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before adhering the Etcetera trim pieces, the top shelf(I only used the one shelf) needs to be in place. Cover this with Backdrops paper. I attached a metal gate to the front of the shelf. I clipped off a small section at one end, as my Etcetera trim overlapped and I needed the gate slightly narrower. I used Collage Medium but also reinforced with two brads(split the brad and each end on either side of the fence. I poked a hole first so the end went into the wood easy). Add Distress Crackle paste to the shelf, paint after it had dried. Also add paint and grit paste to the metal gate to make it look old and rusty.

This tile had little black flecks in it, which added to the theme. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaEgvhTdMeZICLG_LiumeyQMYi_IksRcuR_wEZEqrD5P5EvWJvTTjqOexEhffhw29asFqm0OynUQV6k9Wy0bYPcZnkg23mHky-_XPedihiuYyc19o9XjbQ_-hsI_XGe593ARK26Lu4QgyrUGJroXHsuBaaYmAomJipHzGloBeONL2ceQFRoRHAB2YAgA/s2341/IMG_6071.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2341" data-original-width="2340" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaEgvhTdMeZICLG_LiumeyQMYi_IksRcuR_wEZEqrD5P5EvWJvTTjqOexEhffhw29asFqm0OynUQV6k9Wy0bYPcZnkg23mHky-_XPedihiuYyc19o9XjbQ_-hsI_XGe593ARK26Lu4QgyrUGJroXHsuBaaYmAomJipHzGloBeONL2ceQFRoRHAB2YAgA/w400-h400/IMG_6071.HEIC" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A Swivel Clasp chain was added to the door with a brad.

The clip was screwed back on and Crypt paste applied around the back where the posts were.

Halloween is almost here, and I’m sure there’s a lot of you still creating for this spooky holiday. Usually I’m in full Halloween mood, decorating and still creating, but I’ve been visiting our new granddaughter and her big sister, so I’m missing out a bit this year. Plus, my husband and I unfortunately came down with Covid, so I haven’t had much energy. So, sorry this post is a little late, I had planned to get it done sooner! Here’s how I created my Vignette Arched Shrine!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8TAe1bOHq4WgL7Za0VCEis0Pe4lDyWvcXNlPSFFKRkK56sEjYW3xg2fRJR8Vc6_isFUysSIFtfPsc63wOCNJFbELiTfeQdnYSdOHD_cxAgh37qywBA-6b_qymUwS5EPm0_kKFaABVVJU3xS6zQaT6hsIkR9V2uyFHp0N_-kkmESgNOKIKQZnxVitBBA/s900/Marriage&Death%231@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8TAe1bOHq4WgL7Za0VCEis0Pe4lDyWvcXNlPSFFKRkK56sEjYW3xg2fRJR8Vc6_isFUysSIFtfPsc63wOCNJFbELiTfeQdnYSdOHD_cxAgh37qywBA-6b_qymUwS5EPm0_kKFaABVVJU3xS6zQaT6hsIkR9V2uyFHp0N_-kkmESgNOKIKQZnxVitBBA/w400-h400/Marriage&Death%231@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I covered my entire shrine in the Halloween Collage paper with Collage Medium.

I chose some book clippings from the Halloween Sticker book and placed these so it looks like they are sunken into the paste. There’s two ways to do this. One, is to cut out a thick piece of cardboard the same size as your clipping piece, place it on the base, apply the paste, then lift up the cardboard piece. Once the paste has dried, stick down the book clipping. Or, place your clipping lightly on the base, then apply your paste, lifting the clipping immediately after, wiping off the paste on the clipping (with a craft knife or craft pic so you get a nice clean impression left). Stick it back down after the paste is dry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXnFBp8m8-KFq14TRrTp6HnzBjO5YBs6t_s0bQpQiri4ASk4HD3sd9pCBv9GfJb39eYQFgwa8symC9gCl53wmHmnRt3OsmBr3U99TBIiBAiJzsRKJPUwBhjAK_qXAQ1RKaPzWLg4c73fTJ5x-WlYt2Btdgsmz34HrghW82TIaOV3qlDDTEkmq17Dd5A/s900/Marriage&Death%2324@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXnFBp8m8-KFq14TRrTp6HnzBjO5YBs6t_s0bQpQiri4ASk4HD3sd9pCBv9GfJb39eYQFgwa8symC9gCl53wmHmnRt3OsmBr3U99TBIiBAiJzsRKJPUwBhjAK_qXAQ1RKaPzWLg4c73fTJ5x-WlYt2Btdgsmz34HrghW82TIaOV3qlDDTEkmq17Dd5A/w400-h400/Marriage&Death%2324@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Glue down the tombstone in front of the paper doll, and apply Crypt Paste around, and in front. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscY-DIViYn-BIyEMVLjxiMsvzvdlzaZwFL-nQOUaYxP4lRYl9cGaI2h0CGOI3-vmEL-cWsym2DMI1p-RIJdGFOJpCyLEgJqmp49RrGOGUUJ9w39t9VDHLuVVCUw7nJ00-51gHBYz7xODE2ctyK4XvFFhnU1AEoj-tk1RKNT9OmdTMP4TAAz7OjCea6Q/s900/Marriage&Death%2325@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscY-DIViYn-BIyEMVLjxiMsvzvdlzaZwFL-nQOUaYxP4lRYl9cGaI2h0CGOI3-vmEL-cWsym2DMI1p-RIJdGFOJpCyLEgJqmp49RrGOGUUJ9w39t9VDHLuVVCUw7nJ00-51gHBYz7xODE2ctyK4XvFFhnU1AEoj-tk1RKNT9OmdTMP4TAAz7OjCea6Q/w400-h400/Marriage&Death%2325@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I’ve added flowers from the Halloween Layers pkg. and Worn Wallpaper pkg.

In hindsight, this cardboard base could have been stronger to support the cauldron and other embellishments. It came apart in transit to Tim and also when it was sent back to me, so if you feel it needs to be stronger, (in case you are mailing it or it will be jiggled about!) a larger piece of foam could help. I also think, because the Design Tape has a more slick surface to it, that could be why my glue didn't hold as well. You could always eliminate the tape in that bottom area.

The Halloween confections and candy corn are “sugared” with Glossy Accents and Distress Rock Candy Glitter. I've used Glossy Accents because it's thicker and more glitter adheres to it. It's also a great glue! After these were dry, I used heavy craft thread and a needle to string together the candy pieces (they are a soft material similar to Fimo clay, so the needle goes through). The end pieces of the thread were knotted around tack nails. These nails were bent in half (90degrees) with pliers, and poked through the paper, the ends on the back of the paper adhered with tape or glue. Now glue the paper to the clock back. .

I've used Ranger Ink's Clear Resin Kit. It's a 2-part epoxy resin that hardens when the two equal parts (one bottle is the resin, the other is the hardener) are mixed together. You store these together and apply to your project, then set aside to cure. You can also get their package of small cups with stir sticks. It's a longer process, when doing three different colour combinations, as I let each layer cure/dry before doing the next one. But this is something you can do in advance or at the beginning of your project. You don't need to mix a lot up for each colour. Once you start filling little containers, you can't stop! For the clear "candy corn drinks", I coloured my resin with a drop of Alcohol ink. I first started with yellow, filled my vials a third, set aside. I had some left over, so I added in a drop or two of yellow paint to make it opaque, stirred this in. I filled the larger vial a third, and then poured some into the test tube. For the test tube, I wanted it to look like it had fallen and some dripped out. I had a small shallow cardboard box, or a piece of cardboard is fine, lay some parchment paper down so the resin doesn't stick. You will want to tip your tube so the end is slightly higher, it doesn't take much for the resin to slowly drip to the end and out of the tube. I used a piece of cardboard with a hole in it to hold the end of the tube, bent the cardboard so it is was slightly raised and taped it to the bottom of the box. I recommend you figure your setup before pouring resin. After the yellow has set, I usually leave it overnight, do the same with orange alcohol ink, paint and a new batch of mixed resin. After the orange has cured, repeat with either Ranger Ink Snow Cap Mixative (it's opaque) or white paint.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my fluffy toppings on the drinks, it's just White Opaque Texture Paste! I didn't need a lot of it, so instead of a cake decorating bag, I just just clipped a tiny hole in the end of a small plastic bag. I pushed my cake decorating star tip through the hole (make sure you have a tight fit, so a small hole is better) and put in a small amount of texture paste. Twist the end of your bag, so nothing escapes out the other end, and squeeze onto your drinks. I added a glittered Halloween candy stick while the texture paste was still wet in the larger vial. Halloween remnant rub was added to the outside and black craft thread tied around the rims. Your vial should come off easily from the parchment paper, if you have excess spillage, you can always cut off what you don't want and curve the edges down with your fingers. I've rubbed in a light layer of Collage Medium to the outside glass test tube and large vial, lightly distressing with brown distress ink, giving it an aged look. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_hXuq7V7M9M_WbD221G0svnE7F-eT_Mtxiy7JZtN5LQy1kyJf0VyOSnewFMZhdrmCJjownB97aNNvO13_6xdSyqjKoffGpLuNlK1IZT7fqUQJpic5JTKxdOIzB2R818aNh1JpIIGwp5Gw4vk9AFVIqRWFh6259IudZMFc2zgPWcvGBmDu7IWMzyQPXA/s900/HalloweenClock%2318@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_hXuq7V7M9M_WbD221G0svnE7F-eT_Mtxiy7JZtN5LQy1kyJf0VyOSnewFMZhdrmCJjownB97aNNvO13_6xdSyqjKoffGpLuNlK1IZT7fqUQJpic5JTKxdOIzB2R818aNh1JpIIGwp5Gw4vk9AFVIqRWFh6259IudZMFc2zgPWcvGBmDu7IWMzyQPXA/w400-h400/HalloweenClock%2318@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>For my baking tray of glittered bat cookies (and I added in some glittered pearls after), I created the tray from the Vintage Label Thinlits die. I used black Metallic Kraft stock paper, the die inked with black Archival ink before die-cutting. I slightly sanded the metallic paper before die-cutting (I used some steel wool) so that the ink would adhere better. After die-cutting, sand the edges, and apply Statue Foundry wax with your finger in a few areas if you want it to look more aged. The tiny bats were from the Halloween Ephemera Pack, they were also glittered with Glossy Accents and Rock Candy Crystal Glitter. My two little handles were Tim Holtz Jump Rings, poked into the ends.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkMge4_VlJ6anGGWO8jVRvHRINFJKNKoZknJrrmTmod2-JZiBnnfWIOEydVNz6Evktl5si2WsLAdai818LaQWo0QLb7b-6NiLpzPrGcrsJUOdj7R4CgTcQdCeIihpjzZ7NPfIrxb13xtO8ooXqMWhlzdTrfgz3V1LvevfjB_QDzCCn3RWUAJ2MTox3uw/s900/halloweenclock%2314@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkMge4_VlJ6anGGWO8jVRvHRINFJKNKoZknJrrmTmod2-JZiBnnfWIOEydVNz6Evktl5si2WsLAdai818LaQWo0QLb7b-6NiLpzPrGcrsJUOdj7R4CgTcQdCeIihpjzZ7NPfIrxb13xtO8ooXqMWhlzdTrfgz3V1LvevfjB_QDzCCn3RWUAJ2MTox3uw/w400-h400/halloweenclock%2314@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my candy brewing in the cauldron, I used the clear glass Bubbles.

Before adhering the frosted bubbles, stick your Tiny Lights inside the bottom of the cauldron. You don't need a lot, the excess strand comes out the back, behind the cauldron and along the back of the table. You can either directly glue your bubbles (I've either used glossy accents for this or Collage Medium) on top, or cut out a piece of plastic packaging to fit on top of the lights and glue your bubbles on top of that. For the bubbles outside the cauldron, I have glued these on before doing the lights and filling the cauldron. That way you can do have the cauldron on it's side so they don't fall off. I usually do these one at a time, and if they don't stay, try a rubber band to hold them on while they dry. Glue your cauldron to the stand with Collage Medium. Save a few of the bubbles for the table top.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9wHftWnZXYdmAYuRGi2auck7zqxNi2r23peYfmn-ruQo5Mz7P0JmKAcT8JuUpYKMjVfSPvIRRUjUXCaLp46gIkYrQgJ_ygerM5F-QaXkzW4X5q8KPjhM7JvhD4pWEW57yV7x5WDVJQUv8r52emFL18LiXYtsQvUT7cBWbmK_HSJcjgB0T3J0Mhn4W0Q/s900/halloweenclock%2329@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9wHftWnZXYdmAYuRGi2auck7zqxNi2r23peYfmn-ruQo5Mz7P0JmKAcT8JuUpYKMjVfSPvIRRUjUXCaLp46gIkYrQgJ_ygerM5F-QaXkzW4X5q8KPjhM7JvhD4pWEW57yV7x5WDVJQUv8r52emFL18LiXYtsQvUT7cBWbmK_HSJcjgB0T3J0Mhn4W0Q/w400-h400/halloweenclock%2329@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Halloween Jack O Lantern is highlighted with a bit of Ranger Ink Elixir Pearlescent Crayon.

I like to give my cardstock a bit of colour before embossing, and then after, adding a small amount so it gathers into the grooves, highlighting the embossed areas. I tried to keep it lighter in the middle, using Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, and Walnut Stain(I think) near the edges. My embossed cardstock was adhered to the tag, It's slightly shorter in length, but the top and bottom will be covered by the tombstone add-ons.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_MRo1smfykbP5aqfjy8e7kQl1X1Ef2_3gvPyPVLvvKS9JovBahkjif-g8o4qHpGROVu7WgA6K4ZW_oKoI3kbxq9Ml1tQO6qZpmq0TdqDBveY68fqxWlo5nMabA5EyUXzU_TXH18paWLvXDFYMruqPOeKjP_BjJ0FSwlCm3KOUh0rh-RzyLzqrnwDglw/s900/myron%235@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_MRo1smfykbP5aqfjy8e7kQl1X1Ef2_3gvPyPVLvvKS9JovBahkjif-g8o4qHpGROVu7WgA6K4ZW_oKoI3kbxq9Ml1tQO6qZpmq0TdqDBveY68fqxWlo5nMabA5EyUXzU_TXH18paWLvXDFYMruqPOeKjP_BjJ0FSwlCm3KOUh0rh-RzyLzqrnwDglw/w400-h400/myron%235@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Using the Alphanumeric Thin set, I die-cut the words, In Memory Of. This was from coloured Distress cardstock, similar to the tombstone. I’ve added a small amount of Distress Grit Paste around and over some of the letters. When I applied the grit paste, colour from my Distress sprayed paper seeped through to the paste. I didn’t mind this, as it gives my tombstone a more aged look. If you don’t want any seepage in between layers of your mixed media project, I would recommend applying a small amount of Distress Micro Glaze on your bottom layer. This glaze is a water resistant sealer, so it will stop the colour seeping into your glaze. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOHcR_fkNsoQ63EL-F4tYqtIYFG2hfb3DtO4qQu6tFRQXHoJFuKDZQTctfIRBITaSpMzOylgChtjDXzESJGbART11MqJq5U8M1TokdJQMBe6tIElEzRnSVUvMQnXY3ArW0vwkomm1oA97jOnuzNKvw44XbjUTBwWa1FheHFw1JV6YRAOHNxrvYEsW2A/s900/Myron%236@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwOHcR_fkNsoQ63EL-F4tYqtIYFG2hfb3DtO4qQu6tFRQXHoJFuKDZQTctfIRBITaSpMzOylgChtjDXzESJGbART11MqJq5U8M1TokdJQMBe6tIElEzRnSVUvMQnXY3ArW0vwkomm1oA97jOnuzNKvw44XbjUTBwWa1FheHFw1JV6YRAOHNxrvYEsW2A/w400-h400/Myron%236@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did the same embossing with a diffuser on a small piece for the top piece of my tombstone.

This was sanded lightly. The mushrooms were from Distress Heavystock that was coloured with Distress Sprays and Oxides. For added interest, I applied some Translucent Grit Paste to Myron's belly with an older Tim Holtz stencil (Dot Fade THS006), slightly tinted with a very small amount of green Distress spray or ink. It's a bit tricky to apply, but you can wipe away or scrap off any excess in areas you don't want it. Let this dry. After I had my Myron Frog and Mushrooms assembled, these were adhered to my tag (foam adhesive squares for dimension) and moss also tucked in everywhere. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin9w6hGTZbSaqmsIjdNYLHUYK0iKLFHrlXSfWHZPYZncyM5oBmcSt1M3CkoXheoqCu0J5xWSuhOjFZTFqQuH7_6CDplRhDC7WIhUG0r-YDNkX_8oSEvzb8ROwPjzMRNB3BInwYgvxx85l8RvBbZPKncWV_S_6pEJcFababG3TLXRdIfRUAWC8S2d5rzg/s900/Myron%2311@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin9w6hGTZbSaqmsIjdNYLHUYK0iKLFHrlXSfWHZPYZncyM5oBmcSt1M3CkoXheoqCu0J5xWSuhOjFZTFqQuH7_6CDplRhDC7WIhUG0r-YDNkX_8oSEvzb8ROwPjzMRNB3BInwYgvxx85l8RvBbZPKncWV_S_6pEJcFababG3TLXRdIfRUAWC8S2d5rzg/w400-h400/Myron%2311@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A Halloween Remanent Rub (dearly departed and a decorative scroll from an old set) was applied to the bottom piece.

These diffusers are retired, but you might have this set in your stash or a scrapbook company might still have them. These plates have a shape cut out in the middle or the shape itself, and are used instead of your top embossing plate. In the middle of this plate, there is a circle cut out, and when used as your top embossing plate, it will not die-cut where the negative space is, as there is nothing there to press into the die. So my stars are die-cut on my paper except where the circle shape is. Some of them did not die-cut all the way through, but I liked the effect of having just the outline in the paper. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinl4kd58c1JtoJpJ1pB6pMZu2VYWoG39xineHH2RzYYgxmg9NYDM8JE7hzppZLUuOwc2gll3N-_en2CXzvLZAAycvvAqmxvF2iPgT6rl04MQ4a7aUYVm6eC1eHHOejua_kNvXV-Z6C_23az7Oydg9K9VfsQKIIUYVlPTAc7asJFJJOIwlg0dkBSl59EA/s900/OtisEtceteraTAg%234@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinl4kd58c1JtoJpJ1pB6pMZu2VYWoG39xineHH2RzYYgxmg9NYDM8JE7hzppZLUuOwc2gll3N-_en2CXzvLZAAycvvAqmxvF2iPgT6rl04MQ4a7aUYVm6eC1eHHOejua_kNvXV-Z6C_23az7Oydg9K9VfsQKIIUYVlPTAc7asJFJJOIwlg0dkBSl59EA/w400-h400/OtisEtceteraTAg%234@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next I coloured the background with various sprays.

If you have watched the <a href="https://timholtz.com" target="_blank">Tim Holtz</a> YouTube live, then you know by all the amazing makes created with this Chapter 3 collection, that the possibilities are endless! So many ways and ideas to use these 5 die sets and 2 embossing folders! If you missed the live, the replay is always there to watch on Tim's Channel. What I love about this release is, that it's all the basic dies I need or want to create something specific to my project. How many times have you seen a folder, envelope, tag, or label that you wish was in a different colour or paper to match what you are creating? These sets are perfect for creating what you need or want. I'm a gardener, so I created this Seed Box to store my seeds and information about my garden. Can't wait to start using it!</p><p> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvPp07ckRci848v9CIgUx9f3Pa_jm5dT9g_-snSVRDws3Y50S-qOH-HS1XwGpXDN5VsJoIhqEfmn-83znxJciKZhTUjrUP3Pqld_LJ-71bQPvdCb51iBL-vIe253W_e82COPu8yLOaLpKfWh2IHgm7mCFmdjsto9rKwmkFoJ-6nW3VczR5fJJjlml55A/s800/seed%20box%20@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvPp07ckRci848v9CIgUx9f3Pa_jm5dT9g_-snSVRDws3Y50S-qOH-HS1XwGpXDN5VsJoIhqEfmn-83znxJciKZhTUjrUP3Pqld_LJ-71bQPvdCb51iBL-vIe253W_e82COPu8yLOaLpKfWh2IHgm7mCFmdjsto9rKwmkFoJ-6nW3VczR5fJJjlml55A/w640-h640/seed%20box%20@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p> The box itself is made with two square Vignette boxes.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT12mRHapHysp1tU0XxZLVOamWvCD9KXNh8XVp9Zgj8ohaWRTvPeAbNmb0uEMRPkJnVEhQmvtz-W6v5ofJOcIysy03rMzq5Guuw98Fu4nDoZAmd2MRyQc2Q6vSHjN_4KFBVeu6CDic_nTEE19318bR1FZTvo127OMjiCu06jqLPktQlqgPMGg50zuuPw/s800/SeedBox@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT12mRHapHysp1tU0XxZLVOamWvCD9KXNh8XVp9Zgj8ohaWRTvPeAbNmb0uEMRPkJnVEhQmvtz-W6v5ofJOcIysy03rMzq5Guuw98Fu4nDoZAmd2MRyQc2Q6vSHjN_4KFBVeu6CDic_nTEE19318bR1FZTvo127OMjiCu06jqLPktQlqgPMGg50zuuPw/w640-h640/SeedBox@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a look at all the goodies inside!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiPTHgZwIKZS3jGpQ3rIROQscWTP_ENV4gczSAi01g93iYcXwCJAzibwLJ9NUTPLtr2nDK_-0HeI2ZfPKVpvnUx4V0sCyz18tDT2J2Zxe29j420omtp5O_iGEroG4hRCvdihuvn6NRHVVyOB-yrzlKsmQ-_rs_-AMdi01LF_ma65nV6xFYl3noZysf_A/s800/seed%20box%20%233@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiPTHgZwIKZS3jGpQ3rIROQscWTP_ENV4gczSAi01g93iYcXwCJAzibwLJ9NUTPLtr2nDK_-0HeI2ZfPKVpvnUx4V0sCyz18tDT2J2Zxe29j420omtp5O_iGEroG4hRCvdihuvn6NRHVVyOB-yrzlKsmQ-_rs_-AMdi01LF_ma65nV6xFYl3noZysf_A/w640-h640/seed%20box%20%233@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I haven't got step by step photos for everything created here, but I think most of it is pretty easy to recreate.

It debosses and cuts out the shape. I cut out quite a few using the Metallic Kraft Stock. Because I used metallic paper, I did not apply an oil-based ink before die-cutting. If you are using a porous paper, ink your metal die before using, and when it's die-cut out, the ink will stay in the debossed areas. At this point, I wasn't sure what I was going to use, but they can be saved for later.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMNLDP1D_w-MTiCLjveZ2ht8ptuE6uCxHOpFTsazAm8gNB8UNCD3275FATawuIK3R8TVCmt81AcX9--leET3y9ef_HkMyJi6dXEH6bFfGf55B1IPJtLw0v-av5sRFwOj8aG6tqX3JaNroX2WmdlgRnHJZS9MTK2LBA-eqn9piNhNf8yz6jZ1-sfYnYA/s900/seedbox%2314@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMNLDP1D_w-MTiCLjveZ2ht8ptuE6uCxHOpFTsazAm8gNB8UNCD3275FATawuIK3R8TVCmt81AcX9--leET3y9ef_HkMyJi6dXEH6bFfGf55B1IPJtLw0v-av5sRFwOj8aG6tqX3JaNroX2WmdlgRnHJZS9MTK2LBA-eqn9piNhNf8yz6jZ1-sfYnYA/w400-h400/seedbox%2314@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the larger circle one for the top of my Seed Box. I die-cut the word, "Seeds" using the new Alphanumeric Nomads set, in the middle of the circle. This new set has two different sizes of upper case letters, which are meant to use together, and for the smaller ones, you can add a dash underneath to line it up with the larger letters. I just used all the larger size for this make, but I will definitely use a combination of the two in future makes, love this font! The word was die-cut again in green metallic kraft stock. Everything was distressed and inked, then the green letters placed inside. Whenever I need to die-cut words that I am using the negative space, with individual letters, I always use Sizzix's Sticky Grid Sheets(663533), to line everything up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ki-0DCvJUNMhiAbUlBTWoytB4mZjb00-dkWcT4T1pAC7T9OrORuHpWCRcVRmGijYItWktYL5aw98ZcCRd9vx_hAdZ1mHSh6hE1djKis6NhIOIn70A7kEI9wTFt31vSU44rkEOv3JZsgfZzFZIMMeIIxt5W9o7b5h9HTIJSGW5YBOjf4W1muuDwMSpw/s2720/seedbox%2313@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2720" data-original-width="2720" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ki-0DCvJUNMhiAbUlBTWoytB4mZjb00-dkWcT4T1pAC7T9OrORuHpWCRcVRmGijYItWktYL5aw98ZcCRd9vx_hAdZ1mHSh6hE1djKis6NhIOIn70A7kEI9wTFt31vSU44rkEOv3JZsgfZzFZIMMeIIxt5W9o7b5h9HTIJSGW5YBOjf4W1muuDwMSpw/w400-h400/seedbox%2313@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tim Holtz Hinges with an added bit of Foundry Wax, were used on the box.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CgcqJYA-D2sPJ5owaFZc4OrbvR1CTqmh1SkHBWKaLMCP2qOEHlbIt5lM5TVaOXC4c7o1iA808BY2zM_OQgzEur83f2voEy7hV5l3VLtYeeTjDA8j23uxPCrVWm_uKxfZeFnqIWxVe_T_HZD4_kDn8CKMXcFh3Auj2VnYfE239LKXBJVrIHp1fQNHZg/s900/seedbox%2312@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CgcqJYA-D2sPJ5owaFZc4OrbvR1CTqmh1SkHBWKaLMCP2qOEHlbIt5lM5TVaOXC4c7o1iA808BY2zM_OQgzEur83f2voEy7hV5l3VLtYeeTjDA8j23uxPCrVWm_uKxfZeFnqIWxVe_T_HZD4_kDn8CKMXcFh3Auj2VnYfE239LKXBJVrIHp1fQNHZg/w400-h400/seedbox%2312@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The inside of each box was covered with Ideology Backdrops Volume 3 paper and trimmed on the edges with Design Tape Trims.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB33sQMc03nlIpIKggh4RaJVzVO3Bgx85lOlXFCp9E_ceQ3pEK1rZCX3fJMU48l5IxbKnL6Vpo4BMTAJeVGWxCHh1uHY01uciPTFXXAquWAEHR9dxffxsBW4zf1NrEm3KFYG6HPZrJaDdEMh88ACkGyNxfeSOzJk0X-w2YkRdUYAKRisYaqFA7MCmfcw/s800/seed%20box%20@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB33sQMc03nlIpIKggh4RaJVzVO3Bgx85lOlXFCp9E_ceQ3pEK1rZCX3fJMU48l5IxbKnL6Vpo4BMTAJeVGWxCHh1uHY01uciPTFXXAquWAEHR9dxffxsBW4zf1NrEm3KFYG6HPZrJaDdEMh88ACkGyNxfeSOzJk0X-w2YkRdUYAKRisYaqFA7MCmfcw/w400-h400/seed%20box%20@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the closures on my box, I used some twigs from one of my trees.

I really like die-cutting flowers and foliage with coloured heavy stock instead of cardstock, it gives a very unique and personal touch to your project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkVxAdyUdtxFNrBUTphEQaij_2wxgt2qOarZjhMvnw_PfZEpGOlH-cSjCuz2gwN2jJLDZ0hoLCHsxhSIydanqzaLWId2s2RClbRqAZEcIhwbL-LvbRGmFc6BuKc0rKAseADTiT1-UBYZNP847Pw1vT4tcOjtlPnYB97gZ1WgT9P-R9I0stE4pIncVmg/s900/VignetteHomeTray%235@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLkVxAdyUdtxFNrBUTphEQaij_2wxgt2qOarZjhMvnw_PfZEpGOlH-cSjCuz2gwN2jJLDZ0hoLCHsxhSIydanqzaLWId2s2RClbRqAZEcIhwbL-LvbRGmFc6BuKc0rKAseADTiT1-UBYZNP847Pw1vT4tcOjtlPnYB97gZ1WgT9P-R9I0stE4pIncVmg/w400-h400/VignetteHomeTray%235@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my green leaves and centers, I've also coloured White Heavystock with Oxide Sprays; Pine Needles, Old Paper, Antique Linen Frayed Burlap and Pine Needle Distress Spray. die-cut your foliage and centres. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before I build my flowers, I like to shape the petals with a Stylus (Sizzix665304).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC3XNOhy5hUtk_7ci5cOtNKvRY1U8Txc5XRlF0BR4cAweAV0QAdyEpyTKA-Vy_Ad671Ctdp6MZqTe5_308oeTtaxhWHTIDJiXeOxnHp01u8N9VyM0Rn6mJ0m-jStVHcfTIlJk9p1klAW1G46QM_GxCzFLbJkhklzBKotEwK3gQ5bO5lz2hyMr1I7GpCQ/s900/Vignettehometray%236@jhobbins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC3XNOhy5hUtk_7ci5cOtNKvRY1U8Txc5XRlF0BR4cAweAV0QAdyEpyTKA-Vy_Ad671Ctdp6MZqTe5_308oeTtaxhWHTIDJiXeOxnHp01u8N9VyM0Rn6mJ0m-jStVHcfTIlJk9p1klAW1G46QM_GxCzFLbJkhklzBKotEwK3gQ5bO5lz2hyMr1I7GpCQ/w400-h400/Vignettehometray%236@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my bird silhouettes, I didn't want to use black, I wanted something softer but still giving them the look of a silhouette. I've coloured heavy stock again, but with blue and grey tones. Sorry, I guess I didn't jot down the colours I used, but go with darker ones, Chipped Sapphire, Prize Ribbon, Stormy Sky, etc. I added in a bit of Distress Mica Spray in Frosted Juniper (Christmas set) to get them a shimmery look. Also, I've highlighted a few areas with a pink tone of Distress Oxide ink(spritz with water on mat and use paint brush) after they were die-cut.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTgSBYBd6EWdYl8KVCkf-ZoYbr1_YlHLJYq4Bhgerio12s7qz0XH_2r_d2rHq6oTZYuqvRMDSXzABNl7pz3hU7Y-Mft3y-6ltNfXf8-Y71t2DrMbwGbuKsFGBDJr_b0LL4msLAF9EIb56LzVEOaNuiOEXxH7a-crRA45W5uAwh0g9f80yUSt37eMX4_Q/s948/VignetteHomeTray%239@jhobbins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="948" data-original-width="948" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTgSBYBd6EWdYl8KVCkf-ZoYbr1_YlHLJYq4Bhgerio12s7qz0XH_2r_d2rHq6oTZYuqvRMDSXzABNl7pz3hU7Y-Mft3y-6ltNfXf8-Y71t2DrMbwGbuKsFGBDJr_b0LL4msLAF9EIb56LzVEOaNuiOEXxH7a-crRA45W5uAwh0g9f80yUSt37eMX4_Q/w400-h400/VignetteHomeTray%239@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Once you have everything die-cut, you are ready to build up your shadow box (Vignette tray). Decide where you want to place your home flash card and the placement of twine. The twine is secured with Tim Holtz Tack Nails (TH94240) and I have three levels. Just make sure you leave enough room (especially the top one) for your birds to sit on. Once you have the twine placed and secured, adhere your flash card, and birds with dimensional foam adhesive squares. Finally you can adhere your flowers and the bird in front of the flowers last. Depending how dimensional you want your flowers, I have stacked some foam squares on top of each other for added dimension.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's another look at my project!</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWy-DmXYgIY1kX35PuXcZZN6Rr0oHrtZSe8WNLO4ndk9dSJCiuW15_r9BFYEdMvFwi3SedUJzMQqVTFOr7w6WujSXPgwR2kMnM4rYvkZv22NclvifXoag_KbvDprlrblyBuRrN8t39-BX6Ex6pFq2IFCRSn0K_Kuo5uGCyEkeKw3gyhl2eVHXmtb_zFg/s800/homevignettetray%231@jhobbins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWy-DmXYgIY1kX35PuXcZZN6Rr0oHrtZSe8WNLO4ndk9dSJCiuW15_r9BFYEdMvFwi3SedUJzMQqVTFOr7w6WujSXPgwR2kMnM4rYvkZv22NclvifXoag_KbvDprlrblyBuRrN8t39-BX6Ex6pFq2IFCRSn0K_Kuo5uGCyEkeKw3gyhl2eVHXmtb_zFg/w640-h640/homevignettetray%231@jhobbins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">It seems like Spring is taking it's time arriving here.

For each month word, I’ve used snippets, ephemera, remnant rubs, anything with a date. I’ve just circled the month part. For months I didn’t have, I used Thinlits dies. The cards are embellished with Flashcards, Label Stickers, Paper Dolls Portraits, Paper Dolls Mini, Word Key, Memoir Ephemera, Ephemera Snippets Number Strips, and Linen Patchwork Tape. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYszFbetbfRwQauLtouXRVF7XUlr3pRpXh2Jp4ZSCHPORJC6SOk534JNMlugnKgEuucg7Nec48IymgXUVFrhbpEDC4jWlrSQQTdfSCj_SyQgBlcZdwLh8ZQX64M5iQytOC4Ec1fTT9poYF1FPYvhWrgwSPsb0srhkQP9TxI3aKWJG2w6ikrKRNyQgxg/s900/vignettecardfile%236@jhobbins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsYszFbetbfRwQauLtouXRVF7XUlr3pRpXh2Jp4ZSCHPORJC6SOk534JNMlugnKgEuucg7Nec48IymgXUVFrhbpEDC4jWlrSQQTdfSCj_SyQgBlcZdwLh8ZQX64M5iQytOC4Ec1fTT9poYF1FPYvhWrgwSPsb0srhkQP9TxI3aKWJG2w6ikrKRNyQgxg/w400-h400/vignettecardfile%236@jhobbins.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a look at the back of my cards.

If you managed to catch the <a href="https://timholtz.com" target="_blank">Tim Holtz </a>YouTube Live today (March 12th), you are aware of his very new <a href="https://rangerink.com" target="_blank">Ranger Ink</a> product, Foundry Wax. I was lucky enough to receive some to create with, and all I can say is, wow! This wax is nothing like any other wax that you have used. I don't know about you, but it is very dry here, so every time I would buy artist's wax products, they would dry out in no time and I would have to throw them out. Also, when heated, it looks more like leafing and is permanent. If you have ever tried gold leafing, you know how messy that can be!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcJa6jTdk3NjLsGrPcCrHnsR73Ph4AIdlUd4eeiovEC0gNdRT25MOfF8rE0z00Zqg9BdwQAmalISa4k73M2z_cFrOxTuM576tD5Y5XwnkzLhCSmiZk65ZjHFpUvD3EcFZKDI4cSAqTCjvg3p9EO-Vv45Y41S6z9kKCUy_ztj9h8-H4YOADeMmF3_t-gg=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="1280" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcJa6jTdk3NjLsGrPcCrHnsR73Ph4AIdlUd4eeiovEC0gNdRT25MOfF8rE0z00Zqg9BdwQAmalISa4k73M2z_cFrOxTuM576tD5Y5XwnkzLhCSmiZk65ZjHFpUvD3EcFZKDI4cSAqTCjvg3p9EO-Vv45Y41S6z9kKCUy_ztj9h8-H4YOADeMmF3_t-gg=w640-h272" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Foundry Wax comes in two different sets. <a href="https://rangerink.com/products/tim-holtz-distress-foundry-wax-kit-1-gilded-mined" target="_blank">Wax Kit #1</a> is Gilded and Mined and <a href="https://rangerink.com/products/tim-holtz-distress-foundry-wax-kit-2-sterling-statue" target="_blank">Wax Kit #2</a> is Sterling and Statue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEGxOBlJ35rgTTEbqI5vVstQlGVKINXjtjVGreqQwS7G2S0QUxdCMnfBNOrbRwx_eLLlG5SvIBuOXuK-3yvNZOoe6rI8vfpdCgbOmgSl64C8oaW44yf5u8I3gxNBWG6oKGAfopU9LvBwzDnvfFqxAgU0FWrQYwV4FhAbflm0Oem7yYoLa9Z0pkLZYgvg=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEGxOBlJ35rgTTEbqI5vVstQlGVKINXjtjVGreqQwS7G2S0QUxdCMnfBNOrbRwx_eLLlG5SvIBuOXuK-3yvNZOoe6rI8vfpdCgbOmgSl64C8oaW44yf5u8I3gxNBWG6oKGAfopU9LvBwzDnvfFqxAgU0FWrQYwV4FhAbflm0Oem7yYoLa9Z0pkLZYgvg=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've created this card using the Mined Foundry Wax, which is a very rich coppery colour.

I used this cardstock as I love the matte velvety texture and it's <u>really</u> black. It is designed to work with Alcohol Inks, Pearls and mixatives, therefore it doesn't buckle and is a good weight. I wasn't sure what medium I was going to use when I first started, I was thinking Alcohol Ink, but then I just decided to use paint to see how Foundry Wax worked with this medium. </div><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAaMBxzZJltBcFRglsPkTT3eP8KIONBzIyAhv8XCZLe3jHAiWY_8kAosPHy9Ov4ELvdrT0Wn14di8WlR9ZoSCgAqdIxdwAARjY5DHBksl2ueek0odjK0Chp7qU8a49u6la8x5o1BCukJzqqB3OqkjlAqWfQdlLIZ4rloqjr_yDOfBv1Wu7MxHKqAnnpw=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAaMBxzZJltBcFRglsPkTT3eP8KIONBzIyAhv8XCZLe3jHAiWY_8kAosPHy9Ov4ELvdrT0Wn14di8WlR9ZoSCgAqdIxdwAARjY5DHBksl2ueek0odjK0Chp7qU8a49u6la8x5o1BCukJzqqB3OqkjlAqWfQdlLIZ4rloqjr_yDOfBv1Wu7MxHKqAnnpw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After embossing, I applied a very small amount of Prize Ribbon Distress Paint, almost dry brushing it, so my black still showed through.

I did this with a very small amount on my craft mat at a time. I’ve used my finger to apply it on my embossed surface but you can also use a small brush. Since this is a very new product, I would suggest watching Tim's video to hear all his tips and tricks with it. He has so many different amazing techniques using this product. It dries very fast, once out of the bottle, so I used small amounts at a time. A little goes a long way. You won't want to waste any, as you will want to use it on everything! Once I had it applied to my surface, I used my Embossing tool to heat it. It doesn't take long, a few seconds, and like magic, it turns shiny immediately! A word of caution, do not heat next to your Foundry Wax bottle, it does react to high heat very easy! That was cautionary advice from Tim!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhqfj9E8R3rRWAS74u81ZCx1VY6v4-cYNyERIufsrvhM7ps7ITHd3oDIIo8bajlID3QpCXYNbNKh2gKFgVhiARhLc5FfPf14XdQcazu0B2gOmuAvjcoM_7ARET0C3evhWAWTFBUgMI0BJH_XeEYodpFQiNAv6QgsVCsDbbpkAnAUoARvgD5BNH2uJnLQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhqfj9E8R3rRWAS74u81ZCx1VY6v4-cYNyERIufsrvhM7ps7ITHd3oDIIo8bajlID3QpCXYNbNKh2gKFgVhiARhLc5FfPf14XdQcazu0B2gOmuAvjcoM_7ARET0C3evhWAWTFBUgMI0BJH_XeEYodpFQiNAv6QgsVCsDbbpkAnAUoARvgD5BNH2uJnLQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, I used it on a butterfly die-cut. I used Metallic Kraftstock for the large butterfly, lightly sanded the edges. I also used this Entomology Stamp Set with matching dies for the smaller butterflies. These were die-cut out from regular black cardstock, then stamped with Prize Ribbon Archival Ink, and embossed with clear embossing powder. I wanted the Foundry Wax to pick up all the raised embossed stamping on my butterflies. After my stamped and embossed images were finished, I applied the wax with my finger. Wow!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj63uZBevri6QnfJYlJAvsHEjmwSisSloU4UaNxZ_bFTzO9kF-PM64jmiE4hEROlDe-_aWEU2Ya61dlvA1RiaU1uufyZHptI94zvzRC4YD4wtxQduMfLdM8BcqwBMAGdS40kjs_0dfB1NmvhexllNVPqcCgUYH4y4W0aG3tWY4kYgj2RDTXqjUJTphLlw=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj63uZBevri6QnfJYlJAvsHEjmwSisSloU4UaNxZ_bFTzO9kF-PM64jmiE4hEROlDe-_aWEU2Ya61dlvA1RiaU1uufyZHptI94zvzRC4YD4wtxQduMfLdM8BcqwBMAGdS40kjs_0dfB1NmvhexllNVPqcCgUYH4y4W0aG3tWY4kYgj2RDTXqjUJTphLlw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love how this wax highlights the stamped images, can't wait to try other stamps!

(I use my Tim Holtz reverse grip tweezers to hold my metal piece to avoid burning your fingers)There was a tiny bit left on my mat, so I touched up my label sticker too. I did say, you will want to use it on everything, didn't I? lol! On all my items, I have applied the wax with a thinner amount, but you can also apply it heavier or even reapply more layers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGR-12t6o0YKMcMI1IjKjtRZgy0EQsawvFMc4F2vwWlJ4kocq19bowZl6WBH8XV4TEsP7BOov888p7eKMzmYb-yp3Bod38Plbg02TGzEnCJKNgo2hEL1ngN0HJPnrrps7fHCd3OrT3wlFFmIvSLZBeT5BkFzOI4v0fREMe1JHSn5cCeDKAtopTkUDVnQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGR-12t6o0YKMcMI1IjKjtRZgy0EQsawvFMc4F2vwWlJ4kocq19bowZl6WBH8XV4TEsP7BOov888p7eKMzmYb-yp3Bod38Plbg02TGzEnCJKNgo2hEL1ngN0HJPnrrps7fHCd3OrT3wlFFmIvSLZBeT5BkFzOI4v0fREMe1JHSn5cCeDKAtopTkUDVnQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was having fun making my butterflies, I couldn't stop.

I’ve added a strip of Design Tape Trim around the bottom edge. These trims are perfect for covering the edges of the vignette structures also, they are the same width. I wanted it to look like clothing samples in the dome, so I used the new Tiny Paper dolls, removing the feet, hands and heads (sorry, that sounds terrible , doesn’t it). The clothes were tinted with Distress Crayons and Memo pins were hot glued to the backs. These were poked into the dome cork base. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUuThavVWq-1inT1biQGWrxd331W4eVi9zFCORKM7-F-K1gad1lvkIcsE8T7j-gF6f3FbnF5zss1yYVIzkgh94U_rOTaQxI_6ULqra2sJtIjPJS7_0mvI3AAztYbSmdLzxzRO832vDL7sohRNZwsMCb1P43vryz0NZw2lGMuQYPB0aE5Mjp4lOJcu-dQ=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUuThavVWq-1inT1biQGWrxd331W4eVi9zFCORKM7-F-K1gad1lvkIcsE8T7j-gF6f3FbnF5zss1yYVIzkgh94U_rOTaQxI_6ULqra2sJtIjPJS7_0mvI3AAztYbSmdLzxzRO832vDL7sohRNZwsMCb1P43vryz0NZw2lGMuQYPB0aE5Mjp4lOJcu-dQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>In the Ephemera Memoir pack, there's my favourite, the book covers.

I've also made a larger book, using a piece of ephemera for the front cover (glued onto a piece of chipboard).

Adhere the two boxes together with Distress Collage Medium (before attaching the moon transparency and window frame). Thread your lights through from the underside of the bottom box, into the top one. I concentrated the lights more where the stars were and left a bit extra outside the box for the candle. Adhere the transparency, then the window frame. I have added two Brad Fasteners for knobs on the window frame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhU_IrX4pl65lpwRgQjjXMr6nkhAQAYurngNejCuzkl-JxEp9piOjzwzN7e4CY9senaqIbOtzWItG33CKu_20qQM7D9Wv3gRqHCCbLvekImo_PFFwxUey4pL_eUJdL5cSBPrl_MGkHakWwgx0jNuejh4SqOq3AjTaihMzDEcSKUy2N0yk9r4VtMNjm1fw=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhU_IrX4pl65lpwRgQjjXMr6nkhAQAYurngNejCuzkl-JxEp9piOjzwzN7e4CY9senaqIbOtzWItG33CKu_20qQM7D9Wv3gRqHCCbLvekImo_PFFwxUey4pL_eUJdL5cSBPrl_MGkHakWwgx0jNuejh4SqOq3AjTaihMzDEcSKUy2N0yk9r4VtMNjm1fw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's with the lights on, so you can see how the lights look like stars.

It's another Tim Holtz <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/timholtzstudio/featured" target="_blank">YouTube</a> Saturday reveal, and this week it's all about new <a href="https://rangerink.com" target="_blank">Ranger </a>Ink Mini Archival Ink Kits! There are three new sets(Kit 4, 5, & 6), each with an assortment of 4 colours. Love these mini sizes! Archival ink is waterproof, acid free and a permanent oil-based dye ink. These inks are permanent on many surfaces, they will not bleed when used with water-based inks, markers, paints (watercolour and acrylic), and also liquid adhesives.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDHPKiqejHmjsr-t9Fbf33ZpyHlnCcV2giVbYBt0rptWO6shAf57yOP2j9YNV9I2DB_Jc-yuF5Z8WpR3f5vBCEB-NMdRdkfJAMs_Stju5mLjE10E3IiohiCSAdpf5vthHZ1GnVKz1z57qC1UPkZBt89b6NptCRtFEalddvYjgH9Hvie3VsX_zBuJKu8g=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDHPKiqejHmjsr-t9Fbf33ZpyHlnCcV2giVbYBt0rptWO6shAf57yOP2j9YNV9I2DB_Jc-yuF5Z8WpR3f5vBCEB-NMdRdkfJAMs_Stju5mLjE10E3IiohiCSAdpf5vthHZ1GnVKz1z57qC1UPkZBt89b6NptCRtFEalddvYjgH9Hvie3VsX_zBuJKu8g=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>I've created this tag showing how you can colour with Archival ink and a stencil.

I have used Tim's Blending Brushes(TDA62240) to apply the ink. The open areas in the stencil aren't really large, so the blending brush can get into the corners and your image is sharper. Plus, the brush creates a</div>softer blend of colours. Archival ink will stain, so to clean your stamps or brushes, use some Archival Stamp Cleaner. Because this ink is waterproof and oil-based, water will not work. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0WvuHG180J1053xWy0RUPg4q2xXPhDsyECjbd8wglLMQY6tlNDSxWz6aTepn_zynt4TRgdCS5tvbhRh9oh2lVAnKiUVexbCy7IGgSCEwBUFXtZvqWXj_TNQbFkkAcCXFS2FjUc8du3by6Wy1PXmj45SxYy-tQQSuuoZH18SxJVV_MbkvjhQYIAQ1xwA=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi0WvuHG180J1053xWy0RUPg4q2xXPhDsyECjbd8wglLMQY6tlNDSxWz6aTepn_zynt4TRgdCS5tvbhRh9oh2lVAnKiUVexbCy7IGgSCEwBUFXtZvqWXj_TNQbFkkAcCXFS2FjUc8du3by6Wy1PXmj45SxYy-tQQSuuoZH18SxJVV_MbkvjhQYIAQ1xwA=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Once your archival inked image has dried, it's ready to adhere with Distress Collage Medium. Apply to your tag, the medium first, then gently lay the stencilled paper on top. This paper, once wet, tears easily (which is great when you want torn edges!). Apply Collage Medium on top. That's the beauty of Archival Ink, when using different mediums with it, your inking will not smudge or bleed. If I had used Distress Ink (which is water-based), it would have bled when I added the Collage Medium. The Collage paper becomes more transparent when saturated, leaving your stencil image more pronounced.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjazaGapj0CQHpYpvxdrb3YVdqo8L9CVoDiZeJ9BXziCWX_GVSWn-YuwlyOdm4Yi5kkisHujsciBDZP9Fw0ezznMaEUvVIP54REOSuBwb3YvEgWuEjDXs8cnTv2RLT6-j6ng3LYPTwVeIu1vhDAQ6AvyRc1YdQd2xkvoCBc8z8lfl0RxvyyB9JFOn-3aQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjazaGapj0CQHpYpvxdrb3YVdqo8L9CVoDiZeJ9BXziCWX_GVSWn-YuwlyOdm4Yi5kkisHujsciBDZP9Fw0ezznMaEUvVIP54REOSuBwb3YvEgWuEjDXs8cnTv2RLT6-j6ng3LYPTwVeIu1vhDAQ6AvyRc1YdQd2xkvoCBc8z8lfl0RxvyyB9JFOn-3aQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Trim off the edges, after your paper has dried.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-11Bf8jvLy5IZgjS3mexIHsteVkWHUBcJ3L9MNVGwuE5zUqzS5J6fY094xn5SZSC4qR1nsLf6BTyZYVcHyT7P1-Ck08-kRqkfCKs_IvAwXzwD4LdlhUwSo01MVK-3kZRhbNi-8l6A5jOWQpV4N6W-v3lzjHvX2V0Lf1u1yPvrcPAVLJojCDd4MtRKUQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-11Bf8jvLy5IZgjS3mexIHsteVkWHUBcJ3L9MNVGwuE5zUqzS5J6fY094xn5SZSC4qR1nsLf6BTyZYVcHyT7P1-Ck08-kRqkfCKs_IvAwXzwD4LdlhUwSo01MVK-3kZRhbNi-8l6A5jOWQpV4N6W-v3lzjHvX2V0Lf1u1yPvrcPAVLJojCDd4MtRKUQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've stamped a quote from Stampers Anonymous Set Classic#16 SCF016 with Frayed Burlap Archival Ink on a small piece of Collage paper and applied this in the same way as the stencilled blossoms, across the tag.

Sometimes you can lose a bit of the embossing though, because of the liquid. You can't really see it in the photo, but there's a very subtle pebbly, leather-like texture to this folder, which it looks like it’s a textile when embossed.

The white floral emphemera piece is the the Field Notes package TH94051.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj73Nx2BcbMwHXw7O6ihOdvUtCZgbD0OkroVUHKcW8pO59xrj0o00CQYWFCgpNy9TZA_g7sS5WpSEiisLqFssyd4wNL8IooUSpJ4z5SIWtFwo3FCLyBEKJzkeeI1H8P_5s6L6o_LCqCKd2buQGh6EfsjXvHQdUIoeF1zc0eZcbtLjQQ6AcfSuOW-bd_SA=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj73Nx2BcbMwHXw7O6ihOdvUtCZgbD0OkroVUHKcW8pO59xrj0o00CQYWFCgpNy9TZA_g7sS5WpSEiisLqFssyd4wNL8IooUSpJ4z5SIWtFwo3FCLyBEKJzkeeI1H8P_5s6L6o_LCqCKd2buQGh6EfsjXvHQdUIoeF1zc0eZcbtLjQQ6AcfSuOW-bd_SA=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A metal Wordband TH93000 was added to the top.

I've covered the inside with Christmas Backdrop papers th94181. Instead of covering the front edges of the box with paper, I have randomly applied Distress Crackle Texture Paste tda71303. Once this has dried, apply Distress Brown Crayon and rub with something damp to get it in the cracks. I usually just use my finger, that I have swiped on a damp paper towel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhr6rIYji21HYed9_pXFT-6pO7m3nlrLXnLmdW0_tf9w6i8_0NUyWrcgXE1ZTn0JAF_eNFs5sp7LCA-kkiWGBurSvH1WBGEkLV2vHgweU3VxsRy4LT-6fyvMYc2blZEL7vXu1rL0_tR8FGbdnJ71QuKMuAIXpfTwzOYhCSL4uZ5cJBO8HrU8xi-B4XEFQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhr6rIYji21HYed9_pXFT-6pO7m3nlrLXnLmdW0_tf9w6i8_0NUyWrcgXE1ZTn0JAF_eNFs5sp7LCA-kkiWGBurSvH1WBGEkLV2vHgweU3VxsRy4LT-6fyvMYc2blZEL7vXu1rL0_tR8FGbdnJ71QuKMuAIXpfTwzOYhCSL4uZ5cJBO8HrU8xi-B4XEFQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the sides of my box, I have used the Christmas Pocket Cards th94190.

I've distressed some, ripped the edges, or rolled up the edges with crackle paste underneath to give the box an old look.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1Tt-TQAzy8quN4FXhodEzsr5QFedda4fsKufEnU59FctCMHCqbYsaUjpyVJVG2XjcBnJv4LBo3geZaioYWlqcd9ECsrUKSm4BkWtauaWs5D4BD8uxlO2Re3PKWf0_-bP5ic8-HreH0beoWystocJvCZNL_Cla8Lrb7FFvB3XGxxsHP-JpNYF5BJINkg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1Tt-TQAzy8quN4FXhodEzsr5QFedda4fsKufEnU59FctCMHCqbYsaUjpyVJVG2XjcBnJv4LBo3geZaioYWlqcd9ECsrUKSm4BkWtauaWs5D4BD8uxlO2Re3PKWf0_-bP5ic8-HreH0beoWystocJvCZNL_Cla8Lrb7FFvB3XGxxsHP-JpNYF5BJINkg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After the crackle paste has dried, also age it with the Distress crayons.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDKmByykG3rgfzGaLu4w1_tae01cVfCf9nFdu7C9K4vNhgEBTG90RjkfHDypfZooCA8qwxL7cV0aBKJc7HgNDuNq6W3vQFU6rQxgEXzoZsDVQa1jw4i3yVEffuUERE-KJTwM0LcAMyddhnKa553B6OLVmdnmwRDAw1NliNlyWbWMeQXQIv1QjMcl-Jnw=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDKmByykG3rgfzGaLu4w1_tae01cVfCf9nFdu7C9K4vNhgEBTG90RjkfHDypfZooCA8qwxL7cV0aBKJc7HgNDuNq6W3vQFU6rQxgEXzoZsDVQa1jw4i3yVEffuUERE-KJTwM0LcAMyddhnKa553B6OLVmdnmwRDAw1NliNlyWbWMeQXQIv1QjMcl-Jnw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>I've covered the back of the box with this Christmas Backdrops paper.

I've taken a Baseboard Lace Frame th93786, aged it with Distress crayons, and then glued a small chipboard rectangle (approx. 4 x 2.5") which has been covered with this striped paper from the Christmas Worn Wallpaper pkg. th94182. I've added this extra layer to cover the hole in the frame. There are also a few Snippets Ephemera labels th94188 with a Christmas Remnant Rub, and a Label Sticker Sentiment th94205 on the top and sides of the Drawer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1uV2fj_8RavmmXklZ43fg1bur8QJhWIP8MhUBEHcdDAmLVI3OCXHu9tqULAVoUCJ9WfZo3P-yip0qgO_FO886ofgagkVp2ijxlDjXsPdEGAtGA0iT68ws-cLsPwWbJcDt2hBcwN9yt3V4GY_vKeDR6XcQmqGXve9i_4w3lvQA159g4m-1dPZgfQmB_g=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1uV2fj_8RavmmXklZ43fg1bur8QJhWIP8MhUBEHcdDAmLVI3OCXHu9tqULAVoUCJ9WfZo3P-yip0qgO_FO886ofgagkVp2ijxlDjXsPdEGAtGA0iT68ws-cLsPwWbJcDt2hBcwN9yt3V4GY_vKeDR6XcQmqGXve9i_4w3lvQA159g4m-1dPZgfQmB_g=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then adhered this base to the bottom of the divided drawer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgU-v2h1YI62BkQnjfQac76RXq7RA1Lwwuf6nYzI6F5sjE2wsBTk4FZJXLaEfvlvL6_q1oWHV94LnJKwVw0upjsQm8DV7lH8_n0LiE2J9PTH3DzIr_TsH-zhK9k6npGhHIK5MRoF_847s3zs7Qt3GRfV118MGWAi92PIOpXflked-xE3t5LqAYRixpemg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgU-v2h1YI62BkQnjfQac76RXq7RA1Lwwuf6nYzI6F5sjE2wsBTk4FZJXLaEfvlvL6_q1oWHV94LnJKwVw0upjsQm8DV7lH8_n0LiE2J9PTH3DzIr_TsH-zhK9k6npGhHIK5MRoF_847s3zs7Qt3GRfV118MGWAi92PIOpXflked-xE3t5LqAYRixpemg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Spray your Woodland tree th94212 with your chosen colours. I've taken the base off and clipped a bit off at the bottom. Before doing anything inside the box, I've drilled my hole for the Christmas Tiny Lights th94106 that go on my tree. I've drilled a couple of inches above the bottom corner and an inch in from the side, where the tree is going. The tree is the only thing that I have lit up in this vignette. You could always light up the top with another strand if you wanted.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg77QwpJFMSAzZs8uOcNghQC616uHnwdURet2WWwEQV5sLAcLfJb4IAaKanbSNYkotmi4k2L9UMJs0jssnKKJAYP6TG8Nkf-nA8Cv-E-Cm0xmCjtxCs0PkaW1XwFnGCZJv_YQasJXO2FCP546Z9MGzuWN741VpRhnc3fqrXNLSHIR3t8LDdzH40TkDLcQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg77QwpJFMSAzZs8uOcNghQC616uHnwdURet2WWwEQV5sLAcLfJb4IAaKanbSNYkotmi4k2L9UMJs0jssnKKJAYP6TG8Nkf-nA8Cv-E-Cm0xmCjtxCs0PkaW1XwFnGCZJv_YQasJXO2FCP546Z9MGzuWN741VpRhnc3fqrXNLSHIR3t8LDdzH40TkDLcQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my tree base, I used one of the Christmas tin tops th94204. I made two cuts on the sides across from each other with wire cutters, just enough to bend my tin. Caution, though, this is metal and the cut edges can be very sharp. I used pliers to bend the tin. It looks pretty beat up as I sanded and used the Christmas Ranger's Ink Icicle Crackle (Holiday Texture set tsck78227), but that's what I wanted! It doesn't have to be perfect, you really just see the front part.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhewlwFRnUbLut8rQhPJ6hNphD90R8Aywo7bqFhduGu1V7xDGfh4G-pi1CKQPQMf6S-W29RMqD08D882Ce4lDVTn-_70hVySX8EKtcnXYqyMMppatfD8tF3N32lh1Cph3KK6UjiBjpQoaX-l2JqtUdZXYPlNEZNen2A5sdKAFZqFTZgBhyf1Ovn3_tLmQ=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhewlwFRnUbLut8rQhPJ6hNphD90R8Aywo7bqFhduGu1V7xDGfh4G-pi1CKQPQMf6S-W29RMqD08D882Ce4lDVTn-_70hVySX8EKtcnXYqyMMppatfD8tF3N32lh1Cph3KK6UjiBjpQoaX-l2JqtUdZXYPlNEZNen2A5sdKAFZqFTZgBhyf1Ovn3_tLmQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With your lights pulled through the back hole, wrap them around your tree. For the Distress Mica Flakes TDR69140, you can either apply them to your tree before wrapping the lights or after. If you want to do it after the lights are on your tree, leave about 4 inches of lights closer to battery end, so there's enough room to apply your mica (I just use Glossy Accents with my finger all around, then pour on the flakes, tap lightly to remove excess on a paper) outside the box. Once the glue has dried, just tuck in the extra lights near the start of your strand. I had a dense foam piece that I stuck my tree end into, narrow enough that the tin could be glued to it, and then the bottom and side of your box. I've added a Christmas Quote Seal th94202, using a Picket Fence Distress Crayon to highlight the words. I've glued this in with a thick small foam piece, so it's standing up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiNVeg7t7XfVDh2cPtfdYcMrgNJLHZUiY1JrFiQqt6Iy0eky21YSVRYeo_IiWlOG1zqKQS5dKqvmQCZ000mwUQM2pq5HbDDLCoTc4FrUkJJOv3lT9q12xnGZyx2NziJwMLAqUu7ji-Xn4c5fNGIBLJyBsVRTzUgYDivD4jUavAIKRj6h9-S1c7N9Gyf9A=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiNVeg7t7XfVDh2cPtfdYcMrgNJLHZUiY1JrFiQqt6Iy0eky21YSVRYeo_IiWlOG1zqKQS5dKqvmQCZ000mwUQM2pq5HbDDLCoTc4FrUkJJOv3lT9q12xnGZyx2NziJwMLAqUu7ji-Xn4c5fNGIBLJyBsVRTzUgYDivD4jUavAIKRj6h9-S1c7N9Gyf9A=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the back of the bottom drawer I used this "December 24" piece from the Christmas Layers pkg. TH94185. These layer pieces are a thicker coated cardstock, they sand and distress quite nicely. I've a piece of the Mini Icicles th94206 to the top. I'm sure you have noticed, I have applied Distress Mica TDR69140 or Distress Clear Rock Candy TDR35879 to pretty much everything! I've added it to the icicles here. There are already two holes punched in the top, so I added some rings and hung the sign with two nails from the Vignette Hardware pkg. TH93668. I think this set is being discontinued, which is sad as I use this a lot, there's the antique nails, eye screws, long screws, and hooks in it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNVd7atFWc-v8G2o6NaMjWbSg0_31pVRPOa2c3fpPMx_en7f0Jwvv80BF9WPmfNm2TBesMHfjPJCDUkob-mw4TgDwD9KBzF6pIv6SaUsc-Qdmy8nK6pB1ySoFpwDZYcktOQJAmvAj2LzLwRbmLTGW7qJt_ixfNELNUgOblqRoIk8VPOdpSMKztn09UiA=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNVd7atFWc-v8G2o6NaMjWbSg0_31pVRPOa2c3fpPMx_en7f0Jwvv80BF9WPmfNm2TBesMHfjPJCDUkob-mw4TgDwD9KBzF6pIv6SaUsc-Qdmy8nK6pB1ySoFpwDZYcktOQJAmvAj2LzLwRbmLTGW7qJt_ixfNELNUgOblqRoIk8VPOdpSMKztn09UiA=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once you have all those pieces attached, next is your Santa (Christmas Layers TH94185). This one also is made from the thicker coated cardstock. Before adhering him to the box, I've added a jump ring with two Tiny Bells TH94201 and a Snowflake Adornment TH94200(these snowflakes are so beautiful!) on the ring. I had a little Tim Holtz Clip Bail TH93292 (discontinued but it's just a small metal clasp that turns a charm into a pendant) but you could use a small ring, which I attached the jump ring and then poked the clasp into the Santa's hand so it looks like he's holding this. The snowflake and bells were also coated with Rock Candy Glitter. Because my Santa isn't flat against anything, I adhered behind his feet to the bottom and just at the back edge of his sack to the side with a hot glue gun. You can't see glue behind the sack, but to cover up the glue at his feet, just apply either Translucent Grit Paste TDA71730, Snowfall Grit Paste from the Holiday set TSCK78227, or even a thicker amount of Glossy Accents, and apply Distress Mica or Rock Candy Glitter while any of these are wet. That's the beauty of grit paste, it can cover up lots of things, and look like it's part of your project. I've also added it around the tin base, and most of the floor of my display box. I've added a book clipping (the eve before Christmas) to the bottom front edge of the box from the Christmas Sticker book TD94183.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCI4hBlGv41dsw9anYJNTDKLVB2a_PkLFKQjCwWV6A64hOcGPwsp8_tWMqELn84EHtSDwu8z058T_3YDQYebIdcdZFdWIfJpOXZbGP6oPfET60I64mliAnXsFawHXUEIAF_7t2Zp7ohbad-ureStxm1SsNZdOEojScdAzpQ1O6VvL7NG4Qq2SAbADK1g=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCI4hBlGv41dsw9anYJNTDKLVB2a_PkLFKQjCwWV6A64hOcGPwsp8_tWMqELn84EHtSDwu8z058T_3YDQYebIdcdZFdWIfJpOXZbGP6oPfET60I64mliAnXsFawHXUEIAF_7t2Zp7ohbad-ureStxm1SsNZdOEojScdAzpQ1O6VvL7NG4Qq2SAbADK1g=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now for the small section at the top of the drawer. There's some Christmas Ephemera TH94187 in the back(candy cane), the little sign (Joseph Merkel Baker) is from the Christmas Pocket Cards, just cut out from one of the papers, th94190 pkg. The candy jar is the Snowglobe th94015, without the base and upside down. Inside there's Glossy Accents with Rock Candy glitter and Mica applied while wet, then the Red & White Confections with a little added glitter inside. There's a small price sticker from the Ephemera pack on the outside. I applied a larger amount of Translucent Grit Paste on the bottom of the shelf and stuck the Globe into it. Add lots of Mica Flakes and another candy piece. The little Candy Box is made just like previous ones made <a href="https://janhobbins.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-apothecary-cabinet-tim-holtz.html" target="_blank">here</a> for Halloween. A peppermint Ephemera piece was added on top and book clippings (from the sticker book) added to the side. There's a little bag of peanut brittle on top of the box at the back. Glossy accents applied on a piece of plastic, coloured with alcohol ink, then cut into tiny pieces. Clear plastic wrapped around and tied at top, then the word brittle( cut out from paper piece).`</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgITqyc-E8zN-RmqNWDo9bohtp_tFpAq0qG1fRPjpXNeT5MudHuip79wSUJhFH6H4lXNDuqz4f_wd-Te9CzKtFr2iI-s9WNmDaWyWRa0w4i03xhGFzYktFbI0EoFfTXTFFpekieYWMNelq9aEIfggu-hQu5xK8zzo191fPju6mbyEH04RL7dMcry8Ge8Q=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgITqyc-E8zN-RmqNWDo9bohtp_tFpAq0qG1fRPjpXNeT5MudHuip79wSUJhFH6H4lXNDuqz4f_wd-Te9CzKtFr2iI-s9WNmDaWyWRa0w4i03xhGFzYktFbI0EoFfTXTFFpekieYWMNelq9aEIfggu-hQu5xK8zzo191fPju6mbyEH04RL7dMcry8Ge8Q=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My chocolate Santa is the from the Christmas Salvaged Package TH93995.

These trim pieces are glued onto the edge of the box first and when dried, then the paper pieces. You will have to cut the baseboard pieces to fit to size.

This is the glittery texture paste you also see on the box base, and the deer were also glued on with this. I just applied a good clump and attached my embellishments before it dried.

I do love a good trim or border piece, and especially this one! Ranger's Distress Cracked Leather cardstock (TDA71280) was used for my trim and foliage. I cut out the trim and then coloured it, but it would be easier to colour first. Although, when you colour after, the edges are a little darker and there is no white core showing from the paper. Glue these to the edge of your panel on top of the paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWlHplPLeruJ2BDwyAdyBfQU5t_OU_z0Ip5U95-KTsCbcaa5P_OFyMG2axiatTI2gtWET2dhGwgcne70UZnKC8dqor-NnxkJ0nnWvyLNfBi2IjYRFmzc77cK-fKBZhsP9mgtHstX1YJi109rE11QWsuyrggZP2uGHHfky3bSIitLqSS4v_ZRSIB5ZACg=s900" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjWlHplPLeruJ2BDwyAdyBfQU5t_OU_z0Ip5U95-KTsCbcaa5P_OFyMG2axiatTI2gtWET2dhGwgcne70UZnKC8dqor-NnxkJ0nnWvyLNfBi2IjYRFmzc77cK-fKBZhsP9mgtHstX1YJi109rE11QWsuyrggZP2uGHHfky3bSIitLqSS4v_ZRSIB5ZACg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the top of my panel (sorry I have no photos!) I applied with Distress Crackle texture paste tda71303, with the Stampers Anonymous Plaid Layering Stencil THS097. I immediately applied a bit of Distress </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Antique Linen Embossing Glaze tde70948 to the larger stencilled areas. I just applied a little with my fingers, as I didn't want the glaze all over. I used a fine paint brush to kind of push the bits that I didn't want on the flat wood, onto the stencilled squares. Let this dry naturally, then heat set with your embossing gun. Hope that made sense! This was just to give the stencilling a bit of colour as close to the wood colour as I could but a bit of texture. I also used the Crackle Texture Paste very sparely around the top edge, and later a Distress crayon to colour in the cracks and slightly darken the edge. My foliage is all die-cut with Distress Cracked Leather Cardstock that was coloured first in various reds and greens. These foliage pieces are also from the Funky Nordic Thinlits set. Loved the look of these die-cut with the leather paper! The bow was die-cut from an older Sizzix set, <a href="https://www.sizzix.com/664229/sizzix-thinlits-die-set-10pk-deck-the-halls-colorize" target="_blank">Deck the Halls</a> Colorize Thinlits set (one of my favourites!). Adhere the pieces to the bottom half of your panel. Just wanted to mention that I did not seal my wood panel. I tested a small patch on the back to see if I liked it, but I only used Distress Collage Medium, as I didn't have a sealant and I didn't like the end result, so I decided not to use it on the front. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXJtRtvwcXCOCBwng3OFFQul-w83hgYLyz6RrVal69pOm7q4hBzXV4g5ZEUI3pVjetZ0nwnZ4wo_wcb3lk6kztFM9HbS-CQtvLrdxVUxyphj4EBFLVFTWyWW3G-UPNh3DrRV6l-owP1NGjN8V4cHu4lh9wA1PPOLyV1YmH_CP3ck-DTolSmL9akgCHCg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXJtRtvwcXCOCBwng3OFFQul-w83hgYLyz6RrVal69pOm7q4hBzXV4g5ZEUI3pVjetZ0nwnZ4wo_wcb3lk6kztFM9HbS-CQtvLrdxVUxyphj4EBFLVFTWyWW3G-UPNh3DrRV6l-owP1NGjN8V4cHu4lh9wA1PPOLyV1YmH_CP3ck-DTolSmL9akgCHCg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Now for my Woodland Santa! I wasn't sure about doing this in Distress Woodgrain Cardstock tda57826, as some of these pieces are really small, but I was determined! I think the face pieces were the hardest, so you could do these in regular cardstock. I pre-coloured my woodgrain cardstock in reds, browns, and greens, using oxides and inks. The white pieces are lightly coloured brown, and then inked with Distress Picket Fence ink. I think that inking the edges of your pieces does bring out the shapes more, or even inking parts you want slightly darker. Keep this in mind, when you are colouring your papers, it's always good to have parts that are light or dark, so you have options for different die-cut pieces. After your Santa is assembled adhere him to the center of your panel. I used foam adhesive dots. The word "JOY" was die-cut with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits set, <a href="https://www.sizzix.com/665575/sizzix-thinlits-die-set-6pk-festive-words-by-tim-holtz" target="_blank">Festive Words</a>, also from the Distress Cracked Leather cardstock.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg3X9qg_n4IsSlMbKIWKESSCAivHw5O7V-_RaOaRix31K4K1ckRocQ_z80yWc-TyyTPq6Q_BbPbdV69-0YBNuapWMdOoVg2mfr7LLIorxCZc__Yj3M6RXrU-3DO6tuwnGV89XE6SZ-54m377Hn9jABYhJ4ykStK4dT63L35zrBRwTBUgYIWo7k_cvDcRw=s900" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg3X9qg_n4IsSlMbKIWKESSCAivHw5O7V-_RaOaRix31K4K1ckRocQ_z80yWc-TyyTPq6Q_BbPbdV69-0YBNuapWMdOoVg2mfr7LLIorxCZc__Yj3M6RXrU-3DO6tuwnGV89XE6SZ-54m377Hn9jABYhJ4ykStK4dT63L35zrBRwTBUgYIWo7k_cvDcRw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Here's another look at my finished wood panel!

I applied pieces of the Christmas Post Cards TH94192, Christmas Ephemera TH94187, Christmas Snippets TH94187 or any other paper pieces. These can be cut, torn, curled, anything to make them look like they have some history on this box. I leave some of the wood box exposed and once you have it all glued on, apply Distress Crackle Paste randomly. I have even cut out a piece of chipboard the size of my label or paper, laid it down, then apply my crackle, then lift off the chipboard. You are left with the blank spot that you will glue you paper piece onto, after your crackle has dried and you have tinted and coloured the crackle. I use any dark brown Distress Crayon, usually Walnut Stain. Apply this into the cracks, I usually wet my fingers lightly from a wet paper towel, and rub the colour in. After I apply a light wash using Distress ink from my craft mat, and a watercolour brush. Heat dry.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSg7N5Floe-i0xkmnnF27DzzL__erqrf1eK4c6N7o4H-ilZna1GsbyjxRkLvfWUV99GwI7tdtkvDmUANXEGH1VIUulraHzNeWsojgbiv3KNdONLSVklqlYMxyNuxhb0CMjsKym1GnDEk1sQ-RioS-4fgPbRckgEItVPU6f8xlIycyjm9KPoB9XUq2_UQ=s900" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSg7N5Floe-i0xkmnnF27DzzL__erqrf1eK4c6N7o4H-ilZna1GsbyjxRkLvfWUV99GwI7tdtkvDmUANXEGH1VIUulraHzNeWsojgbiv3KNdONLSVklqlYMxyNuxhb0CMjsKym1GnDEk1sQ-RioS-4fgPbRckgEItVPU6f8xlIycyjm9KPoB9XUq2_UQ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the back of my tray, I covered it with Christmas Collage Paper TH94192 and Distress Collage Medium. You have to apply it a little heavier, so the paper becomes transparent, and then apply the collage medium on top after. If it tears in places, I'm ok with that, but you can always cover those spots with more tissue or your Distress Crackle paste. The label in the left cover, is an example where I used the piece of chipboard (not glued on) the same size as the label, and then applied the crackle paste. The label glued on after, looks like it's embedded into the paste.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2BD8Oxl68O9xwLO9vKegJdmz6tWa_JKYEMQWyec6jF0Fs0JQ2YcncjvydGerhIHQ6yuYbK9dXDvnlXZIPjSRS7tbHQtSK2uLrpazi3Qnh615W6QEp6iWJIrRzAY1JmteZbMgyz19qJSaqVQTEvWNTMhLoGFxzf3q6kwCX4vMv7Aq2h4uLshUFUjclOw=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2BD8Oxl68O9xwLO9vKegJdmz6tWa_JKYEMQWyec6jF0Fs0JQ2YcncjvydGerhIHQ6yuYbK9dXDvnlXZIPjSRS7tbHQtSK2uLrpazi3Qnh615W6QEp6iWJIrRzAY1JmteZbMgyz19qJSaqVQTEvWNTMhLoGFxzf3q6kwCX4vMv7Aq2h4uLshUFUjclOw=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now for the embellishments. I’ve used the Yuletide card from Christmas Layers(TH94185) which is a thicker coated cardstock and placed it behind a Baseboard frame (th94143). This is the front of my pocket. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgT2IGctq9Urt59UhQaHpolahF20KPR1oLHwmlG8xrajwERc479qzFCa0YtMS6aVGwUo35l70kbNvg2K1L1QzBCXcR1F53v_ZuQBue01-8WMZetqimBeneHLMTWXan5qKVV9niTrr8ubG_Kqy5LUOyWQaZpjUR_L_4_Smx15wlcCcVZSIg_FAOhGW2Oxg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgT2IGctq9Urt59UhQaHpolahF20KPR1oLHwmlG8xrajwERc479qzFCa0YtMS6aVGwUo35l70kbNvg2K1L1QzBCXcR1F53v_ZuQBue01-8WMZetqimBeneHLMTWXan5qKVV9niTrr8ubG_Kqy5LUOyWQaZpjUR_L_4_Smx15wlcCcVZSIg_FAOhGW2Oxg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Next I took one of the Mini File Folders (th94191) and propped it open with a Christmas Snippets Label(th94190) with a stamp sticker on top, from the Christmas Sticker Book(th94183). This holds the file folder open like a pocket. My Yuletide frame is adhered to the front of this pocket. This pocket is filled with foliage, a tiny amount of spanish moss, Bundled Sage tinted Mummy Cloth TH94155 and two Photo booth photos (these have been distressed on the edges) that are in the Christmas Paper Doll package TH94184. You could fill this pocket with your own small photos or a small piece of memorabilia. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5zTmq-MlpcEeR32ZQUmlXY5wyguAUL8olLawbuqtTRZWYI_ACLDoMSC2hI7mWWkXJcLCJCcY4lMA4tryL7iNyvnCFX-Ec4Juhj37asZWOGPZYn0lRbCkJr4y80fYzDOiFlOuAKa3ot7rmeciGZJRQHQvtEGrxvcMzApL_Jl79TjXx_0m_1G2IcbqXDg=s900" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5zTmq-MlpcEeR32ZQUmlXY5wyguAUL8olLawbuqtTRZWYI_ACLDoMSC2hI7mWWkXJcLCJCcY4lMA4tryL7iNyvnCFX-Ec4Juhj37asZWOGPZYn0lRbCkJr4y80fYzDOiFlOuAKa3ot7rmeciGZJRQHQvtEGrxvcMzApL_Jl79TjXx_0m_1G2IcbqXDg=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I die cut a selection of Christmas foliage from Sizzix Holiday Brushstroke 2,(665578) Festive Bouquet (665565) Thinlits sets and also used poinsettia die-cuts from the Christmas Worn Wallpaper scraps(th94182). The foliage is a combination of cardstock, oxide or ink coloured Distress Heavystock. These pieces all have randomly applied Rock Candy Glitter to them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The poinsettia pieces are shaped slightly with a Tim Holtz Sizzix shaping tool 665304 (a metal ball) to curve the petals, then Rock Candy glitter applied randomly.

The Drippy Candle is adhered to the top of my Candle Stand (coloured with Alcohol ink to make it darker and more vintage). Once that was secure, I added more drippy parts at the base and down the candle stick with hot glue. Colour the drips with paint and Distress Crayon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Baubles are covered in the Holiday Snowfall Grit Paste (this is Ranger's limited Holiday Texture Set, tsck78227) with some Distress Mica Flakes added into it. The Christmas Tin Top is covered with Icicle Crackle Paste, also from this Holiday set. White Picket Fence Distress Crayon is rubbed into the cracks. The Holiday Snowfall Grit Paste is applied on top and also on the base of my tray. My small tree is coloured with green, and Mica Flakes applied.
