Tim Holtz Holiday Collage Christmas in July!

Hi all - earlier today I enjoyed Tim Holtz's live holiday class joint with Simon Says Stamp Holiday Collage Christmas in July (free on YouTube)! I purchased the class kit but anyone can watch the video & learn from Tim. Heidi from SSS created her projects right alongside Tim which was very fun. We made four projects in about 3 hours, including intro & chit chat, all making our own choices.


Supplies: Tim Holtz Christmas Ideology
Other - green twill ribbon from stash

While the kit is sold out, Simon Says Stamp carries stand-along products at the link above. The candles, I believe Tim said, are Halloween but they work fine for Christmas too! The glittery mix we used will be coming out for purchase later this year in a bigger jar than we received in the kit. Here's some individual photos:

The first project was a card using ephemera, layers and a paper doll. We made a shaker out of a frame of our choice, filled with the snowflake glitter:


Next we made a couple tags. The one at right is doubled up with the top tag layer die cut with slots. We filled the slots with stuff, including a gift card on hand. The tag at left has a collaged background:


Heidi's fave project was the decor piece; we had some choices here but I did my wreath as Tim showed (took two artificial pine sprigs & twist together then formed a circle):


All in all, a very fun way to spend three hours! Plus I have loads more product to use. Here's a quick photo of my organization of the different packages of stuff (mainly shoeboxes). Tim wanted us to be able to flip through the stuff when choosing what to use:


That's it for today - I'm off to watch the latest Craft Roulette - have a great evening. Thanks for stopping!!

How fun you participated in Tim's workshop Linda! I think I have almost all of this 'stuff' in my craft room - purchased over the years and mostly not used yet! I've been inspired to get it all out and create! Julia xx

What a great project and what great results. There's so much to discover here, and everything looks nostalgically beautiful.
