Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D Mini Rose Embossing Folder
Welcome back and Nancy, here. Today, I wanted to share some tips, tricks and techniques with you for adding some boldly unique dimension to the Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder. With a bit of cabin fever, I experienced "Obsessive Creativity" using the Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder Mini Rose with my Sizzix Big Shot machine for the past week.
Helpful tips to get started with any Sizzix 3D embossing folder:
- Only need 1 Cutting Pad is used when embossing with our 3D Embossing Folders because these folders are so thick.
- Misting your material, especially if it is a heavy weight cardstock, with water on one sides prior to placing the material inside of your embossing folder to achieve MAXIMUM impression! Also, misting helps from the paper cracking with the deep impressions.
- Run your embossing folder through your machine a total of 3 times for a rich, bold and deep textures. Long ago, I ruined an embossing folder by running it through the bottom open part rather than the top of the embossing folder and it tore the embossing folder apart.
- For several occasions, I did the embossing and while coloring afterwards, I layed my mini rose back against the bumpy part of the inside and then folded the embossing folder down and went through my Big Shot just one time to get the full impression back and make it pop again.
The picture doesn't do this card justice since it was difficult to show off the Tim Holtz silver cardstock and white/gold shimmer cardstock with the lighting. I just love how this embossing came out. After embossing, I used a sprint of water and Distress pink crayon and brushed on to the roses and did the same with the Distress water color green crayon for the leaves. I used the Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D Entangled Embossing folder for the background.
I ran the embossing folder with black cardstock first through the Big Shot and then used Prima Marketing Brass metallic wax smearing with my fingers on black cardstock. Rerunning the folder with the paper pops the embossing back up but won't recommend doing this after using metallic wax since it smeared too much and hard to clean off the inside of the embossing folder.
TIP: I used my fingers for smearing on the metallic wax to the rose and leaves on black cardstock. Afterwards, I took just a pencil eraser and erased parts of the metallic wax that I didn't want around the roses and leaves on the black cardstock.
Supplies:
Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder Mini Rose
Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D Entangled Embossing Folder
Tim Holtz - Distress Crayon Set #11
I cannot wait for you all to get your hands on any Sizzix Tim Holtz 3D embossing folders and see what you create! I hope I’ve shared some tips, tricks and ideas that you’ll be able to use in your own crafty adventures.

Sizzix Thinlits Die Gentlement card
Welcome back and Nancy, here, to share a steampuckcard made with new 2023 arrival of
Sizzix Thinlits Dies by Tim Holtz - Gentlemen along with the Tim Holtz Lucky Love Impression die and Prima Marketing Rusty Pipeline mould.
This card measures 5" x 6" and I will go over what I did and you can do the same or come up with your own fabulous ideas.
I love these two older Tim Holtz embossing folders and used silver metallic cardstock, sprayed lightly water on the back of the cardstock and ran through my Sizzix Big Shot about three times. I cut out part of one embossing folder and glued to the other. I used my fingers to smear Prima Marketing Redesign Brass wax along with Prima Marketing Charcoal Black wax around the embossing. I sponged on Distress Campfire and Black Soot ink by just using the ink pad flat with the embossing folder on parts of the embossing folder.
I sponged the gears and cogs with my new favorite Prima Marketing Redesign Brass wax along with another Prima Marketing Firebird wax and Charcoal Black. I used Prima Marketing Redesign Brass wax with Prima Marketing Firebird wax on the Prima Marketing Rusty Pipeline mould casting. I used an epoxy resin for my mould and let dry over night before coloring and adhering to my card. I used the small pipes in this mould for this card. I added a few other metal embellishments from my stash and adhered these to the card with Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue.
I brushed on ReDesign - Decor Wax 1.69 oz (50 ML) - Brass on the Sizzix Gentlement die cuts since I wanted to tone down the black die cut men and have other embellishments to be as noticeable on the card.
I cut out the 4-Leaf clovers with the Sizzix 3-D Lucky Love Impresslits with a brass cardstock. First cut out about a 4" square and spray lightly with water on the back of the cardstock and then run it through the Sizzix Big Shot about four times for the desired impression. In the past, I have colored these impresslit die cut and placed the die cuts back into the impresslit embossing folder and ran through the Sizzix Big Shot again to bring out the 3-D embossing.
I found a sentiment in the Tim Holtz sentiment label package and added some glue behind it and adhered it to the card.
Supplies:

Cozy Winter Moments
Welcome back and Nancy, here. There is no secret that I love the snowy moments while walking my dog in the country side with the sparkling shine of the snow blanketing our farm fields and occasionally catching a glimpse of our furry wild animals watching us. It’s a cozy memory, despite the cold but I see fluffy snowflakes that look like flowers slowly floating around me and covering our trail. I tried to capture the feeling of serenity and natural beauty of recreating these moments using the Ciao Bella Cozy Moments paper collection to create these cards.
Scrapiniec - Workshop Kit Cards - Old Fashioned Christmas chipboard was the perfect pairing for this project with the beautiful swirls of snowflakes. The neat thing about snowflakes, these are a perfect embellishment all winter long! I topped the card with my triple bow cluster, Stamperia stencil and Stamperia Arctic Paste to amp up the sparkly, winter feel of this card. I watered down white acrylic paint and used a paint brush to lightly flicker white dots on the card to resemble touches of snowflakes.
I used the Stamperia Arctic Ice Paste after adding the chipboard to card for that snowy looks. I just love this little bunny in the snow which reminds me of the Jack Rabbits around our country house.
Supplies:
So cozy up your wintery gray days with a nice walk outside and enjoy the winter while it last while spending the rest of the day crafting and special times with friends and family as well as your cozy furry friends.
