Friday Focus - Tim Holtz Stamps

Quick and easy tags using Tim Holtz stamps
Hi there and welcome to this Friday Focus, it's Georgie here with you today and this time I'm going to be focussing on Tim Holtz stamps. All the Tim Holtz stamps with the exception of the New Arrivals will have an extra 15% discount applied at The Funkie Junkie Boutique for the next two weeks.

So, do you need a stash of gift tags ready to go, or (like I've been recently) short on time and need something done quick? Then read on and hopefully I'll give you some inspiration for the Tim Holtz Stamps you have in you stash.

Under 30 minutes:
For Christmas


Using Christmas Blueprint - with Archival Ink Black, Distress Markers, Distress Paint and UTEE

--------

Under 15 minutes:
For the fashionista

Using Papillon and Runway - with Archival ink in Potting Soil and Jet Black. Picket Fence Distress Paint to highlight

--------

Under five minutes (yep you read that right!):
For the chap in your life


Using Cityscapes and Simple Sayings - with Lindy’s Stamp Gang Queen Sheeba’s Embossing Powder

--------

So… as you can see there is loads you can do, even if you’re short on time and need to whip it up in a jiffy. The world of art seems to keep moving us in the direction that more is better but the reality is not everyone has a lot of products or time to get things done. Getting back to the basics can be fun and effective!

That's me for today, and as you can probably imagine, there is so much you can do with these stamps, this really is tip of the ice berg!

Hugs,
Georgie

    You are brilliant, Georgie! You've achieved fabulous results with a minimum of supplies, and in record time!! I agree with everything you said about time constraints and supply budgets. What a great Friday Focus!
