Tim Holtz Sizzix Potted 2 Bigz Die | Use Your Wings Slimline Card

Hello friends! I'm back with my final project to share from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 3 Youtube Live. Today I'm sharing a slimline card I created that features the Potted 2 Bigz Die and the Mini Botanical 3D Texture Fade.

USE YOUR WINGS SLIMLINE CARD – Tim Holtz Sizzix Potted 2 Bigz Die and Mini Botanical 3D Texture Fade

Featuring: 
  • Potted 2 Bigz Die
  • Mini Botanical 3D Texture Fade
  • Wildflower Stems 1, 2 and 3 Thinlits Dies
  • Funky Insects Thinlits Dies
  • Additional supplies linked in the thumbnails at the end of this post.


For the background I began with a piece of Distress White Heavystock cut to 3.5x8.25 inches. I rubbed a Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink pad directly onto the raised portion of the inside front panel of the Mini Botanical 3D Texture Fade, placed the top third of my paper inside the folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. This applied ink to the flat sections of the design while still embossing the pattern into the paper. I repeated this process and placed the embossing folder onto the middle half of the paper. I then finished the panel by repeating the process a third time. 


To make the piece look like 3 separate pieces of paper sewn together, I then added some machine stitching using a zig zag stitch between the sections and then all the way around the outside edge of the background panel.


With the background completed, I moved onto watercoloring a mix of Wildflower Stems using Distress Inks and a waterbrush. The colors I used include: Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed, Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain, Kitsch Flamingo, Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, Seedless Preserves, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss.


Next, I went about creating the flower pot using the Potted 2 Bigz Die. I first die cut a piece of silver metallic kraftstock using the die and then I cut all of the pieces from a piece of thin chipboard to make the pot a little substantial and solid.

To create the look of a galvanized metal flower pot, I lightly sanded each piece of the metallic paper and wiped away any dust from the sanding. Next, I painted each piece with Black Soot Distress Paint and wiped away the excess paint with a damp paper towel. I then rubbed Black Soot Distress Crayon onto each piece until I achieved the look I was going for.


Once the paper was distressed to my liking, I glued the layers together and assembled the flower pot. I finished it off with a couple of distressed Hardware Heads. My method for distressing any of the metal pieces is to first apply a coat of Distress Collage Medium. Once this is dry, I apply Mushroom Alcohol Ink and watch them change from plain silver to grungy goodness.


After I assembled the flower pot and filled it with the wildflower stems, I felt like the card still needed something more. That's when I had the idea to add the bee from the Funky Insects Thinlits. I die cut the bee from Distress Watercolor paper and colored it with Distress Ink and a waterbrush. I used Fossilized Amber, Pumice Stone and Black Soot Distress Ink.

The final touch was the addition of the sentiment which is stamped using the Tiny Text Stamp Set.

Tim Holtz Perspective Moth Thinlits | Let Light Lead The Way Framed Panel

Hello friends! I'm back to shared another make I created for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 3 2021 Release. This project was featured during Tim's YouTube live in which he shared all the new dies and some amazing project inspiration from all of his makers! Today, I'm sharing with you this Let Light Lead the Way Framed Panel I made using the Perspective Moth.

Let Light Lead the Way Framed Panel by Juliana Michaels featuring the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 3 Perspective Moth.

To create the background I began with a piece of Distress Watercolor trimmed to the size of the approximately 6 3/8" x 8 7/8 inches. I then used Distress Micro Glaze as a resist with the Honeycomb and Floral Layering Stencils. Once the glaze was dry, I ink blended a mix of Kitsch Flamingo, Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey and Festive Berries Distress Oxide to the entire piece of paper. I then added some spritzing with my Distress Sprayer and dabbed it dry.


The next step for the background was to add the stamping. I began with Archival Distress Ink in Black Soot, using the new full size ink pads. I'm so very happy these are now available as it makes applying ink to large stamp images SO much easier. Here I used the Dearly Departed and Field Note Stamp Sets.To add a little depth to the stamping I used the script stamp from Dearly Departed with Distress Oxide in Hickory Smoke and gently smudged the ink after I stamped the image.


With the background completed, I moved onto the Perspective Moth. I wanted it to be center stage so I die cut it from both black cardstock and white Distress Heavystock. Before I die cut it from the Heavystock, I adhered the Heavystock to a double sided adhesive sheet.  The die didn't cut all the way through which was perfect as I wanted the adhesive to help hold all the little negative pieces in place. I then inked the edges of the Heavystock with Vintage Photo Distress Ink before I adhered the black die cut on top.


Now for the Framed Panel. I dry brushed Black Soot Distress Paint over the entire frame with the intention of not getting the paint down into all of the cracks and crevices. I find the easiest way to avoid getting too much paint on the frame is to just apply small amounts of paint to your brush. If you do happen to get too much in one spot, you can always use some sandpaper to remove it.



The sentiment was inspired by a postcard by Brandi Kincaid. Her words always seem to be so fitting for the moment I'm in when I see them and the words "let the light lead the way" definitely spoke to me and all that I am going through right now. I typed this onto typing paper using my vintage typewriter, but you could also print it out using your computer and an old typewriter font. I then trimmed it to size, inked the edges and added a piece of double sided foam tape to adhere it to the die cut. To finish off the sentiment, I added a couple of Hardware Heads that I distressed by first painting with Distress Collage Medium and then Mushroom Alcohol Ink.


Thank you so much for your visit today and I hope you enjoyed learning how this framed panel came together using the Perspective Moth Thinlits by Tim Holtz.

Tim Holtz 3D Impresslits Butterfly | Be Brave Slimline Card

One of my favorite products from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 3 Release has to be this 3D Impresslits Butterfly. I love all things butterfly and when I first saw it, I knew it was going to be the first thing I wanted to play with when the new products arrived.

I've also created a video tutorial for this card that shares I how created this Eroded Metal 3D Butterfly along with all the rest of the card details. Please remember, I am not a professional video maker, so this video is a bit rough around the edges, but it's something I hope to do more of in the future if I see that there is interest in it.

Be Brave Slimline Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Tim Holtz 3D Impresslits Butterfly

Eroded Metal 3D Butterfly | Be Brave Slimline Card

I began by die cutting/embossing several of the butterflies from Metallic Kraftstock. I then painted each one with Salvaged Patina Distress Paint and with the paint still wet, lightly dabbed off the excess paint with the goal of keeping the paint down in the cracks. Once the paint was dry, I applied a layer of Distress Crackle Paint Clear and allowed this layer to dry. I then began applied Distress Crayon in Walnut Stain working in small sections and rubbing it into the cracks and crevices. With the butterflies grungy and gorgeous I was ready to move onto the background.


I began with a piece of Distress Watercolor cut to 3.75 x 8.25 inches and a mix of stamps including the following: Field Notes, Ledger Script, and Illustrated Garden. I laid them out stamping different images with a mix of Distress Inks including Gathered Twigs and Vintage Photo.

The next step for creating the background was some ink smooshing with a bit of Old Paper Distress Ink which I then dried using my Heat Tool. I repeated this process until I was pleased with the coverage. I wanted more splatters, so I pulled out some Old Paper Distress Spray and used the tip of the spray tube to flick on some splatters and then dried it with my heat tool.

For a bit more distressing, I did some drippy sprays onto the paper using my Distress Sprayer and dabbed them dry with a paper towel.


To add some texture to the background, I grabbed the Flourish Layering Stencil and Distress Texture Paste and applied it through the stencil using a palette knife. Once the paste was dry, I decided I wanted to add a little color to it, so I placed the stencil over the textured areas and added color using Salvaged Patina Distress Paint. This part was a little tricky because the paint is thinner and tends to run under the stencil, I if you attempt this, I recommend that you make sure to lightly apply the paint. Also, if I had known I wanted the color beforehand, I think I would have added paint to the texture paste and applied it all in one application, but this worked well enough and helped me achieve the look I was going for.

Next, I did a bit of ink blending around the edges of the paper. I began with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then added a bit of Salvaged Patina Distress Ink which wasn't showing up enough for me, so I grabbed the Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide. I then did some spritzing with the Distress Sprayer and added some more ink blending with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.


I layered the panel onto a piece of custom colored Distress Heavystock trimmed to 4 x 8.5 inches that I colored using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide. Because the center was going to be covered up, I only inked the outside edge.

For added dimension, I popped up the butterflies using double sided foam strips.

I then finished off the card by adding the Be Brave sticker from the Sentiments Label Stickers and popped it up with some foam tape as well.


I hope you enjoyed learning how this card came together using the gorgeous Tim Holtz 3D Impresslits Butterfly.
