3 Cute Cards Featuring NEW Tim Holtz Side-Orders!
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! You may have seen last week a new collection of five darling NEW Side-Order die and embossing folder sets to perfectly fit the Sidekick® machine! Today, I’m delighted to share 3 sweet ideas by special guest Cheiron Brandon using the new Love Notes set! Read on and enjoy!
Hello there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron with my monthly post using Tim Holtz products. This month I wanted to create some fun cards with the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Side-Orders. The Sideorders are small but mighty die + embossing folder sets that are sized to fit perfectly through your Sidekick (but you can certainly use them in your regular size die cutting machine too). I also think these little sets would make the perfect holiday gift for a crafty friend.
Today I am going to show you 3 different card ideas using the Love Notes Side-Orders and Texture Fade.
For the first card, I kept it small (3 1/2 x 5), sweet and simple with one of the envelopes cut from Dina Wakley Kraft Cardstock. I inked the edges of the envelope with Frayed Burlap Distress ink, assembled it and added it to my card with some foam tape. Then I added a tiny heart that I covered with glossy accents and a sentiment from the Note Quotes set. This one would be so fun to recreate a batch of!
For my second card, I took a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and ran it through the embossing folder 3 times repeating the pattern to add texture. I inked the panel with Tattered Rose Distress Ink then sprayed over it with Tattered Rose Distress Spritz for extra shine. I gave it a tiny bit of black splatter as well using Black Soot Distress Paint. I cut the candy heart box out of Cotton Candy cardstock and added a black bow. Then I adhered it to the card along with a sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set.
For the third card, I played around with some mixed media techniques by filling the background of my card panel with stamps from the Postmark sticker book. I painted a very thin layer of gesso over the eniter panel. Then using Hickory Smoke Distress Archival Ink I inked up the Tidibits stamp by turning the stamp over flat on my table and adding ink to it and stamping on to my panel, pressing down just in some places. I added Opaque Texture Paste through the Sparkle fade stencil and let it dry. Then I sprayed over the panel with Antique Linen Distress Spritz and let that dry. I added a some Ephemera, a Small Talk sticker, and a Paper Doll holding that Love Note along with a painted numeric number. I gave it just the tinest splatter of black and white paint to finish it.
