Tim Holtz Sizzix Christmas 2023 Release - BIG TIDINGS Card



Hello Lovelies! I have simple card idea with the goodies from the Tim Holtz Sizzix 2023 Christmas Release for you today! These are some of the happiest cards that I have made and the simple design will allow you to make a stack for your holiday mailing list!


The cards actually start with the Layered Stripes Thinlits and then the Big Tidings Thinlits add some festive WOW to the party. When I look at these, all I can think of is candy canes and Christmas carols!



Like I said for the Trim A Tree card, you may have a hard time choosing your favorites from the Tim Holtz Sizzix 2023 Christmas Release. The full release is shown below and available as a bundle, but each die set is also available to purchase individually from Simon Says Stamp.


Let's take a closer look at the release items that we will use for today's card:




In addition, I grabbed some Tim Holtz Sparkle cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Cardstock and some Sizzix Felt for all the die-cuts.

PROJECT WALKTHROUGH

  1. Die-cut the cardstock using the Layered Stripes Thinlits Die as shown below

  2. Layer and adhere the die-cuts with craft glue to create the background

  3. Center and adhere each background to a card base with craft glue

  4. Die-cut the embellishments and the "O" out of the sparkle cardstock and felt as shown.

  5. Die-cut the word from the Big Tidings set out of purple and dark green felt

  6. Die-cut the words again out of white cardstock to create a base for the felt

  7. Use craft glue to adhere the white cardstock and felt layers together

  8. Adhere the words to the striped background.

  9. Adhere the embellishments with foam dots to the card front and add the Mettallic Droplets to finish




 


The three different textures of the cardstock, sparkle paper and felt help make this Christmas card feel even more special1



The festive embellishment like these holly leaves and berry may be my favorite part of these cards.



I just love the font of these gorgeous die-cuts!



Can I say more about how much I love using felt on these cards?

The use of felt was a great idea. Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I used your instructions to make two cute cards.
