12 Tags of 2015 / Holiday Card Series - December Inspiration

Hi Friends! I'm back with more Holiday cards! These cards are from the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 for December! Tim shows us how to create this dimensional wreath using his punches. The red and green card is very traditional and vintage looking and the use of metallics gives such an elegant look! 

12 Tags Holiday Card Series #8
I can hardly believe these Tim Holtz punches and how detailed they are. The handle is ergonomic, they are stackable for storage and have a locking latch. I had to make a metallic card using the Metallic Kraft-core along with the Silver and Gold Deco Sheets. Simply and beautiful! When using the Deco Sheets with punches its helpful to mount the Deco sheet onto a piece of paper first.

Bow Tied Decorative Strip

"White Christmas" Card
Background: Quilted Texture Fade
Wreath: Juniper, Pine, Laurel Punches
Bow Tied Decorative Strip
Embellishments: Jingle Brads, Mirrored Star, Small Talk Occasions
Splatter: Picket Fence Distress Paint with Distress Splatter Brush
Cardstock: Gold and Silver Deco Sheets and Metallic Kraft-core
Note: Sanding the Metallic Kraft-core changes the look of the cardstock.
I like to sand in a circular motion for this effect. 


There will be no white Christmas were I live but one can dream right! 

 As Christmas gets closer and closer we all get so busy with the hustle and bustle called LIFE…don't forget to take time to enjoy the season with those that are close to you!  

Thanks for stopping in!
