4 cards Tim style
Hello friends, - today I have some more cards to share. I called them Tim style, as I have used quite a few Tim Holtz products for these, though on 3 of them I used some backgrounds I still had left from an earlier cardmaking session.
The backgrounds were made as explained in an earlier post HERE
I then added collage elements, stamped, fussy cut from some of Tim's papers or using some of his ephemera pieces.
I decided not to purchase Tim's new Christmas paper dolls, as I knew I would never use them all and I have still tons of his other paper dolls, so I just found some old photos on Pinterest, printed and then fussycut them myself, - easy enough 😃....
All of them were simply embellished with some diecuts, in an effort to keep them flat for posting.
This little guy came on the same photo as the other one, I just cut them out separately.
The globe image was cut from gold metallic Core d'inations Kraftcard and then treated with alcohol ink to give it an aged look.
And here the final one, collaged onto some of Tim's last year's paper stash, with another found photo.
Well that's it for today. Like always thanks so much for your visit and kind comments. They are always much appreciated, specially during this busy time of year!

Birthday Card
Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!

Beautiful collection of vintage loveliness Astrid, making sure we do not over embellish when we need to post our cards can be harder than we think but you have mastered that perfectly. Loving those raised stencilled areas.
Happy mail for sure for those lucky enough to receive..
