Hello! I finally had a chance to break out my Christmas goodies and get started on some Christmas cards. Thankfully, Tim Holtz shared some of his Holiday Hacks, so the rest of my holiday crafting might go a little faster.

When I purchased Tim Holtz Music & Advert stamps, I immediately saw this being used with Tim's Alcohol Lift Ink. I used Tim's white Yupo paper and my alcohol ink colors are listed below.

I used my lifted image on Distress watercolor cardstock, which I then colored with Distress Oxides --Festive Berries, Iced Spruce and Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo Distress ink. I die cut it with Mixed Media Christmas Thinlits.

I love the Winter Watercolor stamps Tim released this season. I inked the smallest of the poinsettias in Festive Berries oxide, spritzed the stamp with water and made a several impressions. I fussy cut them, shaped and layered them up. The centers were inked with Crushed Olive, and I scribbled the edges with Tarnished Brass Distress Crayon.

I love the new faces in the Christmas Paper Dolls pack, even though I still have plenty left from last year's pack. These two children look like they're dressed up to do some Christmas shopping at the toy store, perhaps followed by a visit to Santa.

I used Holiday Greens, Mini and Funky Festive colored with Distress inks and oxides in greens. My seam binding ribbon is colored with Festive Berries oxide ink, Vintage Photo ink and Tarnished Brass Distress Mica Spray.

An Ideaology Christmas Adornment stands in for a Christmas greeting. I patted it with Picket Fence Distress paint, let it dry a minute and wiped it off with a paper towel. I scribbled it with Tarnished Brass crayon. In real life it's so shimmery!

So that's the start of my Christmas crafting! I hope you'll stop back tomorrow when I will be sharing a Christmas gift using more of Tim's wonderful products. How are you coming along with your Christmas to do list?

Happy Crafting!
