A Merry Little Christmas, Tim Holtz

Hey crafty friends! 👋 I’m popping in to share a card I made using some of my favorite Tim Holtz stamps and stencils from Stampers Anonymous.

Fun fact: Stampers Anonymous doesn’t retire their Tim Holtz designs, so there’s a huge library of awesome stamps and stencils you might not have seen in a while (or totally forgot you had 😉).

Hope this project sparks some inspiration to dig into your stash and get creative! ✨

A Merry Little Christmas, Tim Holtz

Clean + simple cards are some of my favorites, especially during the busy holiday season, and this one came together so easily thanks to the super convenient stamp + stencil combo set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.

I started with a piece of white cardstock and softly inked part of the coordinating stencil using Antique Linen Distress Ink. This adds just a subtle layer of interest and texture while keeping the design light and airy.

Next, I stamped the pine and holly sprig using Distress Watercolor Pencils. I love how easily they blend and how organic the coloring looks, perfect for botanical images like this. To add a little festive sparkle, I splattered a touch of gold using Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.

The sentiment was gold heat embossed, then trimmed and popped up with foam strips for a bit of dimension while still keeping the card mostly one layer. To finish things off, I added Glossy Accents along with Distress Rock Candy Clear to the holly berries for extra shine and texture, because a little sparkle is always a good idea. ✨

This is such a great design for mass-producing holiday cards: simple steps, elegant results, and plenty of room to customize with different inks or color palettes.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope this card inspires you to keep things clean, simple, and sparkly as you finish up your holiday cardmaking. 💕
