BIG Tim Holtz Sale (+ Steampunk Dress and Giveaway!)
Filed under Art Projects, French Corsets Kit, Giveaways, Laura Carson, Newsletters, Sale, Steampunk, Tim Holtz, Tutorials
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply lists for both projects on the new site: Laura’s Steampunk Corset Dress, Nichola’s A Pretty Pouty Something!.
Oh my. Design Team Member Laura Carson made a ray gun to hang from the belt of her Steampunk Corset Dress! How cool is that. And she also artfully connected 2 sets of the Die-Cut Chipboard Corsets together with pieces of the Vintage Brass Butterflies and Filigree Set. Good thing she explains it all on her blog.
I know you’ll want to get all the details, so here is Laura’s supply list and Laura shares more photos and a tutorial on her blog. (And note: today’s Giveaway (below) is all about Laura’s steampunk dress!)
Moving on (too quickly but time is fleeting!) to the third “Tag of the Month” that Tim Holtz has made for 2014: A spring tag demontrating his “Smudge Stamping” technique that is also in his New and On Sale! Compendium of Curiosities – Volume III! And I love the new Distress Marker Spritzer Tool that he uses, too (also on sale). And there’s a video of that tool in use (and, thankfully it can accommodate other markers) on his tutorial page.
Did I say On Sale!? Because of the new Tim Holtz tools and tag, I’ve put the ENTIRE Tim Holtz Products Section On Sale! Over 150 products! Catch ’em quick ’cause the sale will end this Thursday, March 27th! (And where has this month gone?)
And our second Design Team project today, also using parts from the French Corset Kit, is a pretty little plaque that Nichola Battilana calls A pretty pouty something!
Read more about it on Nichola’s blog. And here is Nichola’s supply list.
And speaking of kits, the APRIL kits start shipping tomorrow (eek!) AND, today is the final day of the Victorian Collage Sheet Sale (related to the March Corset Kit’s theme).
But before you run off to see Laura’s tutorial or Nichola’s blog post or Tim Holtz’s tutorial, scroll down to see what’s new, what’s back in stock (a TON of Tim Holtz products, just in time for the sale!), what is in the FREE gift kit, and what’s in today’s Giveaway!

Hooray! A Steampunk Dress Giveaway!
I love the colors in Laura’s dress… and in the Giveaway! (I added in a bit more jade/patina green than Laura’s artwork but I think it looks great with all those corroded metal colors.)

– Hardware Collage Sheet
– Tick Tock Collage Sheet
– Time Flies Collage Sheet
– Antique Brass Clock Charm
– Fairy Vial
– Halloween Fiber Set
– Steampunk Gear Mix
– Hanging Dungeon Lantern
– 75 Cents Penny Scrapbook Paper
– 75 Cents Sovereign Scrapbook Paper
– Sunshine in My Soul – Rays Scrapbook Paper (betcha didn’t recognize that subtle grey-with-overprinted-pattern paper in the upper left of larger photo? that’s the back side)

– Double Dot Vintage Island Mist Scrapbook Paper
– Double Dot Vintage Shadow Scrapbook Paper
