Spooky Skull Mixed Media Halloween Card | Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Fall Halloween Curation

I’m sharing a spooky Halloween card I created with the Fall Halloween Curation by Stampers Anonymous. If you’re new to Curations, they’re thoughtfully themed seasonal collections that bring together classic Tim Holtz stamps and stencils. Many of these designs were released years ago, and Stampers Anonymous has curated them into collections to remind us of their incredible artwork and inspire new ideas with them.

Happy Halloween Spooky Skull Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Tim Holtz Halloween Blueprint and Stampers Anonymous Fall Halloween Curation

HALLOWEEN BLUEPRINT
For this card, I went bold with a skull blueprint stamp as my focal point and built up the background with lots of mixed media layers. I used:
  • Distress Oxide Sprays for the inky background
  • Collage stamping + heat embossing for extra depth and texture
  • Die cuts to add dimension and more texture
  • Distress Inks to add color to the stamped focal image
It all comes together for a grungy, spooky Halloween vibe—perfect for October cardmaking.

New Color Combo, New Inspiration: Distress Ink + Eileen Hull’s Latest Sizzix Release

Eileen Hull has just released her latest collection with Sizzix, and I had the absolute pleasure of creating with some of the new products. One piece that immediately stole my heart is the Lacy Leaves 3D Embossing Folder—and it’s the star of the card I’m sharing today.

For a step-by-step look at the background technique I used with this embossing folder, be sure to check out my Gorgeous Grunge Techniques video HERE.

Although I used a very different color palette for this card, the coloring process is the same as in the video. The only variation is that I skipped the Luster Wax this time. If you’d like to add it, though, it would bring an extra layer of shimmer and interest!

Just Breathe Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Eileen Hull Sizzix Lacy Leaves Embossing Folder and Tunnel Arches Die Set

FINDING INSPIRATION IN COLOR

The Distress Ink combo I used on this project was completely new to me. My inspiration came from the color palette selector created by Lyllack.art on Instagram. She put together a fun video featuring tons of three-color Distress palettes. The best part? You can pause the video at any moment, and whichever palette you land on becomes your “creative destiny” for the day!

CHECK OUT THE COLOR PALETTE SELECTOR HERE

I loved the idea so much that I took screenshots of several palettes to keep on hand for when I needed a spark of inspiration. When I sat down to work on this card, I flipped through my saved palettes—and the combination I landed on turned into something really special.


DISTRESS INK COLOR PALETTE

The Distress Ink colors I used are Dried Marigold, Seedless Preserves and Abandoned Coral.

For this card, I used:
  • Dried Marigold – as the base for the background (step 1 in the video mentioned above)
  • Seedless Preserves & Abandoned Coral – softly rubbed over the embossed design (step 2 in the video)
I then die cut butterflies, ink blended them with Seedless Preserves, and layered them with foam tape for added dimension. The leaves were blended with Dried Marigold.

To frame the focal point, I used the Tunnel Arches die set:
  • Inner arch – cardstock ink blended with Abandoned Coral
  • Outer arch – vellum cut with the next size up
I finished the card with a simple stamped sentiment and mounted everything onto a piece of white cardstock for a crisp, clean frame.


To finish off the card, I added a stamped sentiment and adhered the background to a piece of white cardstock to frame it.


Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to pull out your embossing folders and play AND to step outside your color comfort zone and try a new color combination! It just might end up being your new favorite!

Mini But Mighty | Halloween Tags & Cards with Tim Holtz Mini Distress Oxides

Hey crafty friends! Today I’m back with another Mini but Mighty project—this time with a spooky twist. I recently got my hands on the latest set of Mini Distress Oxide Ink Pads from Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink, and I couldn’t wait to try them out with some of the new colors. Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink just released 24 more colors from the Distress Palette, so there are now a total of 48 colors of the 72 colors available. Even though these ink pads are small, they pack a powerful punch and are perfect for so many techniques.

Halloween Tags & Cards by Juliana Michaels featuring Tim Holtz Stamps, Stencils and Mini Distress Oxides

For this project, I created three wickedly fun Halloween tags using the exact same techniques I shared in my Christmas Mini Distress Oxide video. The only difference? A new palette of colors and a Halloween theme! This just goes to show how versatile these inks are—by swapping out colors and imagery, you can carry your favorite ideas across seasons.

While I’m focusing on tags in the video, keep in mind you can always turn them into cards, add them to your junk journal, or use them as little handmade treats for friends and family.

Winston the Snowman Snowglobe Shaker Card | Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas 2025

Winston’s back and still as adorable as ever! For my second card with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas 2025 release, I turned Winston into the star of a playful shaker card. This version leans pretty + festive with a pink scarf and extra inking over an embossed background. My original sample kept things classic—red scarf and no extra inking—so you’ll see two easy ways to change the mood with small choices.

Question for you: Which look do you prefer—pink + inked or classic red + clean? Tell me in the comments!

Winston the Snowman Snowglobe Shaker Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas 2025

WHAT'S IN THE VIDEO

This video is all about options—color shifts, background choices, and smart stash substitutions—so you can make a similar look with what you already own. You’ll see:
  • How lightly inking an embossed background adds instant depth
  • How to create and build a shaker card
  • Simple ways to fill a shaker (sequins, glitter, beads—mix and match!)
  • Substitutions if you don’t have the exact dies, inks, colors or embellishments

You can either watch the video below or head over to my YouTube Channel HERE to check it out.

Using these links does not cost you anything extra and it helps support my business. It also allows me to continue offering free content and keep my class costs low. I appreciate your support!


DESIGN NOTES & IDEAS

  • Snowglobe Magic: Framing Winston inside a snowglobe makes the shaker feel extra interactive and festive.
  • Color Play: Switching up the scarf color completely changes the mood—try pink for whimsical, red for classic, or even icy blues.
  • Background Texture: Lightly inking over embossed cardstock adds dimension without overwhelming the scene.
  • Shaker Fillers: Sequins, glitter, or beads all give a snow-like effect—mix and match for more movement.

STASH FRIENDLY SUBSTITUTIONS

  • No Winston? Use any snowman, a Santa, or critter die as your focal point.
  • No Scribbly Snowflakes? Use any snowflake dies you might have or even snowflake punches or skip the snowflakes all together and add more color with your sequin mix.
  • No shaker snowflakes? Fill the shaker with any combination of sequins, glitter, mica flakes, beads, small punched shapes or any shaker pieces you may have that fit the color/theme of your card.
  • No Distress Inks or Distress Spray Stains? Use any ink you have to color your cardstock by ink blending or spraying. You can also use colored cardstock.

Winston the Snowman Snowglobe Shaker Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas 2025

TIPS & TRICKS

Window Clarity: Wipe acetate with an microfiber cloth before sealing to clean it before you add your shaker pieces. You can also use an antistatic tool to reduce cling, but it may leave a residual powder on the acetate so I don't tend to do this.
Dimension with Control: Make sure your foam tape is thicker than what you are using for your shaker pieces.
Use any solid die shape to create your own shaker window. You don't have to create a snowglobe to still get the shaker effect.

Creative Adventures with Stamps, Stencils & Dies | Scrapbook.com

I’m so excited to share that I have a brand-new video up on the Scrapbook.com YouTube Channel—and this one is all about creative play with a fun travel-inspired twist!

I set out to create something using a mini file folder…and ended up making a project I’m honestly not quite sure how to label! Is it a card? A mini album insert? An ATC? A stamp swatch? A scrapbook embellishment? The truth is—it can be any of those things (and more!).

Travel Themed Mini File Folders by Juliana Michaels featuring Elizabeth Craft Designs Stamps and Dies

That’s what I love most about this kind of project. It’s open-ended, versatile, and a great reminder that you don’t need to have a perfectly planned outcome when you sit down to create. Sometimes the best ideas happen when you just let yourself play.

In the video, I’m sharing:
  • A layered, mixed media project with a travel theme
  • Stamp collaging techniques you can use on any project
  • Tips and tricks for using your stash of stamps, stencils, and dies in new ways
  • Tons of ideas for how you could repurpose this design into cards, journal pages, scrapbook layouts, and more
This one’s perfect for those times when you just want to make something for the fun of it.

  • Dimensional Accents: Glossy Accents, Distress Snowflakes, Distress Rock Candy Glitter, and Distress Mica Flakes add festive sparkle and shine.
  • Focal Points with Dies: Combine new and retired dies, like the classic Holiday Mini Greenery and the Dashing Deer, for a layered, professional look.

Halloween Love at First Bite: Pumpkin Pail Die Cut Card

I don’t know about you, but nothing says Halloween nostalgia quite like a plastic pumpkin pail overflowing with candy! So when I spotted the Hey Sugar Die Set from Scrapbook.com, it was Halloween love at first bite. I just had to put together my own pumpkin pail—complete with candy…and a few flowers, of course!

Happy Spooky Season Pumpkin Pail Halloween Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Scrapbook.com Hey Sugar and Spiderwebs Die Sets

PUMPKIN PAIL DETAILS

I die cut all the pieces from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and ink blended them with a mix of Distress Inks in these spooky-sweet shades: Dusty Concord, Villainous Potion, Seedless Preserves, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint, Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire, Fossilized Amber, Forest Moss, and Black Soot. Once the colors were down, I layered and adhered everything to fill up the pail with treats.

For the background, I reached for black cardstock and ran it through with the Spiderwebs Coverplate Die—but instead of cutting, I embossed it. A touch of Silver Sizzix Luster Wax brushed across the raised design made those webs shimmer just right.

To finish it off, I stamped a sentiment from the Spooky Stamp Set in crisp black ink and cut it out with the coordinating die for the perfect Halloween-ready touch.

The holiday crafting season is here, and I’m excited to share a festive card project that sparkles and shines thanks to the brand-new Tim Holtz Distress Holiday release! This year, Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink have introduced two stunning products designed to bring texture and twinkle to your winter creations: Distress Texture Paste Twinkle and Distress Snowflakes.

Merry & Bright Deer Christmas Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Tim Holtz Ranger Ink Distress Twinkle Paste and Distress Snowflakes

DISTRESS TWINKLE & SNOWFLAKES

Distress Texture Paste Twinkle is a translucent gloss paste filled with tiny glitter flecks. It adds beautiful dimension and shimmer, perfect for creating textured backgrounds that catch the light just right.

Distress Snowflakes are a custom blend of twinkling glitter mixed with translucent mica flakes. They bring a nostalgic, wintry sparkle that’s ideal for embellishing holiday cards and crafts.


MERRY & BRIGHT CHRISTMAS CARD

In my latest video, I created a Christmas-themed card that highlights both these products. The background features a blend of Distress Inks layered with the Twinkle Paste to give it that festive shimmer and textured glow. To top it off, I used the Snowflakes to embellish the card and shared my tips on how to adhere these delicate flakes securely so they stay put.


STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL

If you want to see exactly how I made this sparkling card, the video walks you through each step—from blending the Distress Inks to applying the Twinkle Paste for texture, and finishing with the Snowflake embellishments. I also share practical tips for using these new products to get the best results on your own holiday projects.

 

GET READY TO SPARKLE

Whether you’re a seasoned card maker or just looking for a fun, festive project, these new Distress Holiday products add just the right amount of shimmer and magic to your crafting. You’ll love how easy it is to bring sparkle and texture together for a truly eye-catching card.


I hope this inspires your holiday crafting! If you give this card a try, I’d love to hear how it goes—drop a comment or share your photos with me on social media.

Poinsettia Perfection: Holiday Card Ideas with 49 & Market Sizzix Christmas Stamps & Dies

Today I’m sharing a card that’s bursting with holiday cheer, featuring some of the brand-new 49 & Market Christmas stamps and dies from Sizzix. I’m a total sucker for a poinsettia, so the Poinsettia Trio Stamp & Die Set had me at “hello.”

This set includes three different sizes of poinsettia blooms you can use solo or layer up for extra drama. With both outline and solid layering images, the mix-and-match possibilities are endless. And just when you think it couldn’t get better—there’s also a sweet pinecone and a perfectly festive pine branch to help you build your own winter floral arrangement.

Warm Hugs Christmas Card by Juliana Michaels featuring 49 & Market Sizzix Poinsettia Trio and Special Delivery Stamp and Die Sets

WARM HUGS CHRISTMAS CARD

For my card, I stamped the poinsettia outlines in Archival Ink Red Geranium and layered them with Distress Oxide Lumberjack Plaid for that rich, cozy holiday red. I used the two largest flowers, die cut them, and popped them up with 1mm foam adhesive for dimension. The centers got their golden glow from Archival Ink Fossilized Amber (outline) and Distress Oxide Scattered Straw (solid), also with a bit of foam adhesive to make them shine.

The pinecones came to life with Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs, while the pine branches got a mix of Rustic Wilderness and Peeled Paint for that fresh-from-the-forest variety.


For the background, I grabbed some patterned paper from the Vicki Boutin Mistletoe & Memories collection, trimmed it to size, and added subtle stamping with the Special Delivery Stamp Set in Versafine Clair Sand Dune for a soft, tone-on-tone effect. I inked the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide, distressed them with a Ranger Sanding Disc for a bit of rustic charm, then layered it over another coordinating paper from the same pack.

To finish things off, I added a sentiment from the Special Delivery Stamp Set, die cut with one of the included dies—because no festive card is complete without a merry message!


I hope this little burst of holiday inspiration gets you excited to try out the new 49 & Market Christmas stamps and dies from Sizzix. They’re perfect for adding that handmade magic to your holiday season!
