happy new sizzix dies 2023!!!

It is always so much energy and fun when the new Tim Holtz and Sizzix Christmas Dies release. And today is release day. So we are celebrating.

I wanna say thank you to ScrapbookCom for sending me a couple of the new dies and a 3D Embossing Folder. It was with much joy and creativity that I went to work making up a couple of projects. So...let's chat about those for a moment.

Have you used a 3D Embossing Folder before? I have a couple of times. But I do indeed need some more practicing and learning. This new folder is called Sparkle. Isn't that name just adorable. It makes me think of strands of lights, of course. But also strands of pears too. It makes for a lovely background.

For this technique I used a small brayer and inked the flat side of the emboss folder. Then I ran the folder with cardstock through my P13 machine. This is one of the parts I need to work on a bit more. Even with its imperfections, this is a stunning background for cards or tags. I added a little plaid tag to this one and called it tag.

Now this one here? Say hello to Big Tidings. I love this die set. It's whimsical. It's large. And it creates such great impact.

I am making use of my go-to embellished cluster technique to add some interest using the Festive Gatherings foliage. This die set is going to be a great adornment for all the holiday makes. But I think too there is room there for autumn embellishing too. You know the drill, but change of the color and theme and you have all kinds of possibilities with these dies.

Both these sets are SO much fun to work and play with. Be sure to check out my video for this process page too!!!

This one seems to be a favorite. The JOY here also belongs to Big Tidings. So that set is both the Joy and the Noel plus stars, tree, asterisk. Good elements that will be used over and over again no matter what the season.

This sentiment and the foliage is anchored on the Layered Stripes thinlit. Again, fantastic background. I mean, the texture alone! There are a myriad ways to use this background. Perhaps I should tutorial that one out. These are the kinds of dies, like the foliage and the large sentiments, that can really get some mileage on your holiday makes, plus I'm seeing Layered Stripes pushing through to other seasons too. We gotta make those tools work for us in more than one way.
