Tim Holtz Blog Hop





Welcome to the 7 KIDS blog hop! This month, we are featuring Tim Holtz Idea-ology products. These little (and large) trinkets are SO SWEET and can be used as card and scrapbook embellishments, as well as elements in 3-dimensional projects such as cigar boxes, frames, shadow boxes, trinket boxes, etc. The possibilities are endless!




Here I took an old cigar box and air brushed it with copics to make it look really old.  Then I added the wood grain paper to the back.  I used umbrella man die cut and honey pop paper to give the umbrella dimension (got this idea straight from Tim himself!)  I used one of Stampers Anonymous Swirls and embossed it with gold all over the inside and out side of the box.  Next I just started adding all the trinkets and buttons.  I died some of his ribbon with distress stain to add some color pop and there you have it.  Altering books and boxes is such a fun way to just escape and do something totally different.

I hope you found some inspiration from this project and leave a comment because you never know if there is a prize hiding on my blog.  I would also love, love love it if you became a follower!  I will follow your blog as well.  Hugs, Rhea
