The 5-Step Formula for Perfectly Messy, Vintage Mixed Media Christmas Cards (Tim Holtz 2026 Seasonal)

Hello there, crafty cardmaking friends!

My current craft space situation looks like I wrestled a holly tree and a bottle of ink, which can only mean the Tim Holtz Distress Seasonal 2026 “I Want It All Plus Rock Candy” bundle from Simon Says Stamp has officially arrived.

Instead of staring at these beautiful supplies and feeling paralyzed by choices, I built a reliable 5-step assembly system that turns patterned paper and ephemera into a pair of heirlooms that look like they survived a century in a Victorian attic.

Our creative journey has a moody, backdrop with a generous misting of Distress Spritz, Distress Texture Paste across the surface of vellum to build touchable history and dimensional grit.

To capture that authentic holiday nostalgia, a heavy dusting of Rock Candy glitter goes over the top of some ephemera layers, adding a frosty crunch that ordinary sparkle simply cannot replicate and the entire layout transforms into a completed holiday masterpiece. Enjoy!

So grab your favorite cuppa and let’s dive into it together! Here’s to a day filled with sunshine, smiles, and endless creativity, where every moment holds the potential for creativity and discovery! Let’s embrace what we love to make and share them with the people we love! Crafty hugs, Tina ❤
