new tim holtz distress: mini distress archival inks + distress embossing glaze

Were you able to catch the Tim Holtz You Tube live today featuring the new Mini Distress Archival Ink and Distress Embossing Glaze colors? I am so excited as always to add any new colors of Distress to my stash!!! All of these new products are available to order at Simon Says Stamp and are shipping now. 

One of the cards I created with the new Distress Embossing Glaze uses what I call my Distress Embossing Glaze papers…I like to take small pieces of paper that will fit through my Sizzix Sidekick and emboss them each with a different color of glaze. For this card, I used Distress Embossing Glaze on Distress White Heavystock in Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet.

I use affiliate links which means if you use them to make a purchase I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you 🙂 I truly appreciate your support. 

Then I used the new Sizzix Stacked Tiles Hearts dies to cut a bunch of hearts out from each color of paper. I also used a sentiment from the Bold Text 1 dies on this slimline card. 

To put it all together, I cut the Love You out 3 times and stacked it to add a little dimension. Then I added on the glaze hearts, some right to the card panel and others with some foam tape to make them really pop. I love the texture and shine that these glazes give to die cut shapes. To complete the panel, I inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink, then adhered the panel to a card base with foam tape. Perfect for Valentine's Day or to say I love you any time of the year!
