Hey, crafty friends! Today I wanted to share 3 super easy mixed media techniques that are perfect for beginners and pros alike, no matter the type of craft you like to create. I'm demonstrating these techniques on 3 cards using some of the 2024 Stacey Park Sizzix holiday collection. 

3 Christmas cards: Snowflake inspired winter card created with Sizzix Prism Paste and the Stacey park Star Bright Die; Christmas card created with the Sizzix White Acrylic Paint, Stacey Park Golden Rings embossing folder and Tim Holtz Yuletide die; and Stenciled Christmas tree card created with Sizzix Dimensional Paste and the Stacey Park Happy Holidays stencil.

I've got a full video tutorial for you guys over on my YouTube channel, but I'll bullet point some of the steps for each card and technique below. Plus, I have a full list of products used below as well.

Christmas Cheer Card
Skip the white ink and use white paint to highlight your embossed designs. So grab some Sizzix Creamy Matte White Paint and a brayer for this technique. It creates a snowy, dappled look to your card!

  • Cut a pice of Tim Holtz red Kraftstock to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
  • Mist with water and emboss it using the Golden Rings 3D embossing folder; pat off excess water with a towel or paper towel.
  • Place a small daub of the Creamy White Matte Acrylic Paint to your Multimedia Mat.
  • Using the Sizzix Effectz Multi-Tool, load up the brayer with the white paint, then apply over the highlights of the embossed cardstock; set aside to dry.
  • Die cut the Tim Holtz Colorize Yuletide wreath die (using only the first layer of the berries) and assemble. 
  • Apply Liquid Gloss to the berries; lightly drop the die cut on the surface to level your gloss if needed. 
  • Stamp a sentiment and trim into a banner.
  • Trim the embossed red cardstock down to 4 x 5.25 inches and assemble the card onto a white card base.

  • Trim a pice of smooth white cardstock to 5 x 7 inches.
  • Using the Sizzix Stencil and Stamp Tool and the blending head attachment for the Sizzix Multi-Tool, apply ink through the Happy Holidays stencil, leaving the top layer of the star on stencil layer 3 and the leaves of stencil layer 4 for the paste; mask off different parts as needed with Mint Tape.
  • Using the long palette knife on the Sizzix Effectz Multi-Tool, apply the Dimensional Paste through stencil layer 4 first. 
  • Then being careful, apply Dimensional Paste through the top layer of the star on stencil layer 3.
  • Peel the stenciled background from the Sticky Grid and sprinkle on some iridescent glitter before your paste dries, tap off the excess, and set aside to dry.
  • Once the paste is dry, use a brush to swipe any excess glitter off that didn't come off in the tapping process.
  • Then stamp a sentiment on.
  • Trim down the stenciled image to 4.75 by 6.75 inches to center the image.
  • Trim a piece of green cardstock to 5 x 7 inches and adhere the stenciled image to it.
