Tim Holtz Distress Christmas (2023)

[@estherhackley7107]

I love your Tim talks at the end of your video. I am one person that loves your products. I am the type of person that needs to see how the product is used. When I see what you do I get so excited. I am elderly, retired and have so so much fun with everything you make. The only thing I have a problem with is getting house work done because I want to play instead. lol Thank you so much for everything you and Mario do.

[@vickihuffman]

We’re never too old to play. I’ll be 70 soon and my house is a disaster so I an relate.

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

Ditto 😆😆😆

[@Staceyintampa]

Me too!! I look around and say, I would rather play than wash the dishes lol

[@kraftymomma1979]

Tim is truly the best.

[@sheilarodriguez2556]

If you've ever seen Tim demo at a trade show, you probably have several layers of people between you and him -- he's very popular. But these online tutorials put us ALL in the front row. Up close and personal gives us a chance to get all the nuances and wealth of info he imparts. FAB-OO-LUSS!!! Thanks also to Mario for being the "assistant duck" who's also paddling like crazy in the background. 😅

[@leannewarner2982]

I love that term assistant duck paddling like crazy lol

[@pambuike4587]

And he does an amazing job at it...they are a great team! Thumbs up to Mario!

[@RinasAMaker]

Back in the days of CHA, the best way I could describe it when Tim and Mario were in an area, remember old videos of mobs of people going crazy if someone like ⭐️The Beatles⭐️ went somewhere… yep, that’s how you knew where to find them. True story LOL! I don’t know how they do it, but they are both so kind from start to end. What you see here on video, is how they are in person. Absolutely brilliant, funny and kind. Mario will forever be my favorite “Rockstar” (and he knows it). ❤-Nancy

[@kraftymomma1979]

Mario and Tim, we love you. ❤ Thanks for all the great gifts you bring us.

[@sarahjenny2]

Tim, this was a fabulous live! It is so wonderful to see how the new products work. I am a visual learner, therefore demonstrations help me the most. Then my creative imagination runs wild with ideas. I could watch you demo all day. I have had 5 major surgeries in the past year. I completely missed all of last year's holiday releases. I am still recovering and it is so relaxing for me to just lay here with my iPad while absorbing all of your inspiration. After coming so close to the end of my life on this earth, I now have no time to be bothered with those who are so consumed bitterness. Life is too precious! Thank you for all you do to bring creative joy to us through your creative imagination!

[@ellagenetieszen9265]

Thanks, I appreciate the time you spent at the end of your show. The up lifting words on a better way to say things. Thanks again, and God's BLESSINGS to you all

[@ginasurber5684]

The more I see of these colors and paste, the more ideas I get. Baby shower invitations or announcements. Wedding, Anniversary, Cheer squad tryouts, Design show party, etc.

[@katherinehazard7580]

Tim Talk!!! That is spot on!! Treat people the way you want to be treated!

[@tesh0115]

Love the Lives! Love the demos! Love the Tim Talks!! I’m all for checking those that want to bring down the energy of this wonderful space with their negativity. Love you guys!

[@PinkMartiniAZ]

Isn’t it a shame how email, texting and the internet in general has completely ruined proper communication and manners? I just started discovering you and your products in recent months because I am looking to start creating junk journals. You both seem so great! Professional, fun, creative, helpful and so on. Thank you for all you do!

[@vikingirl7849]

Evening Your Tim talk is so valid. This sad situation is part of the texting, internet socializing era. It is so easy to be unkind when you don’t feel like you are talking to a person and just clicking away on a keyboard. I adore you, your products, and your help teaching us how to use everything in a creative way. Sending you and Mario some love and good vibes hoping this elevates the negative energy Blessed be

[@vickig3658]

Thank you for all the explanation, demonstration, and inspiration!!!

[@heatherbravo5233]

Thank you Tim and Mario. I sincerely appreciate all the time and thoughtfulness you put in to not only making quality products, but by sharing techniques and taking the time to demo and inspire. I am truly grateful.

[@artemisceleste]

Just when I’ve declared a moratorium on purchasing more supplies, I watch one of your lives. 😂Thanks so much for the gift of your time and your talent.

[@rhondatinker3289]

Tim you are 100 % all the time . back in the day manner is #1

[@whichwitchhazel]

Amazing as ever, great content and demos. Love your excitement, and enthusiasm as well as the Tim talk at the end which was spot on. Thank you xx

[@byjustpeachy]

I made a craft I call Bats in the Belfry and painted the wood cut bats with black chalk paint, then I used one of the purple mica sprays to give it a subtle shine, then finished with a topcoat of resin. It looks cool when the light hits it.

[@toshasamantha3954]

Thank you, Tim and Mario and Co. for the fun video. I love your workshop and your pep talks as well as the demos. 🪷

[@DeniseCraft-z5f]

Thank you for the outstanding instructions/demo. I bought some of your mica stains and have only just started using them. I now have so many ideas thanks to you! You are doing exactly what you are meant to do - teaching so many how to up our crafting game. The compliments I am getting on my latest cards and tags is thanks to you and the wonderful people who post tutorials! I love the way you push the limits and take us to places I could not have imagined!

[@dianacampanelli3250]

Love you two,your adorable,love the new stuff,thanks for sharing & have a wonderful weekend!🤗💜🌻💕

[@kimcarlisle1510]

Thanks so much for the Tim talk. Such great insights. Agree with you 100% about helping others by being decent and showing compassion. You are the best.

[@hollyfalb2751]

God bless your generous heart Tim! Love you and Mario. What a great team! I'm thankful for your creative self you have helped me develop my creativity. May those who are slinging arrows through email, may they wake up and apologize for their poor behavior. 😪🙏🙏❤❤💞💞

[@kayfurnish8715]

I'll take your 'rambling' any day! Thanks for all the great tips. I now realize that my 'unsuccess' with Mica Stains is because i never spritzed my paper first, and failed to dry between applications. Duh! LOL Now I am anxiously awaiting your STAMPtember release! P.S. I've been using the Scrubby for a few years now and it works great!

[@la_papetrie]

Wow the effort you have put into making your inks and micas so versatile ,like the palettes and options... is so amazing .💕✨️

[@quadraknot]

Hello, Tim and Mario. I hope you have a good week. Health and happiness to you both.🥰❤💙💜

[@kathyanstine4472]

Was good to hear you talk about just playing and not always feelin* like you have to do a project. It will take the pressure off- definitely going to do that more. Tim talk so true, luckily it’s not the majority and some people still know their manners! 😀

[@monicaallen9581]

Thank you so much for this video - the product, demonstrations, explanations, and your insightful and amazing words at the end.

[@conniegarvey9845]

Thank you! For everything you do and share. I just love your message at the end. My mother always told me growing up...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, but you know, I like your message so much better! I love that y'all encourage kindness. So little effort, but makes such a difference. It's almost become absent in todays mannerisms. So again, thank you for everything!

[@dawnsteuerwald4248]

I love a good Tim Talk. Basic kindness and manners are a lost art.

[@amandarichards7420]

Big thank you to yourself and Mario for all the prep for this presentation. This makes the presentation flow so well. I love the distress mica products and the new sparkle paste - Wow! Great messaging at the end!

[@RobinsNestEggs]

I adore how you consider the different needs of your followers. You offer thoughtful solutions for everyone. I have so much respect for that. Thank you Tim, Mario and all the team for making our creative journey so enjoyable. 🤗💓

[@kristinfloyd8221]

Just watched this replay! OMG! where has this been all of my life? Cannot wait to try some of these fantastic products & get creative! Love your attitude! "don't yuk their yum!" Hello from Mesa AZ.

[@FrappsScraps]

Thanks guys for all that you do to create amazing demos and learning experiences that inspire creativity in all of us watching ❤

[@pammullett6523]

Replay learned alot thank you

[@Staceyintampa]

1:54 Do you know how many times I thought my spray bottle was broken? So grateful for the tips! Thank you Tim!!

[@pamhall3854]

So excited to have actually watched a live - live! Love your explanations, enthusiasm, your love of colour and oozy positivity. Thank you for spreading kindness, creativity, and shiny sparkly things. Keep the TIm Talks comin’. ;)

[@kpkbjohn]

Tim your enthusiasm always makes me smile. I had to go back and watch this twice there was so much in it. Keep up the good work! Mario thanks for all that you do, I know Tim's not easy to keep up with... sir, you are doing an excellent job!

[@inderjeet.k]

Hi Tim and Mario, I watched this on replay and its such a respite as I am currently recovering from a major surgery and just looking forward to just making. I love watching your videos as your energy, and creativity is contagious. Youand your wonderful makers are so kind and generous with everything. For that, I truly believe many of us are utterly grateful. Looking forward to the sizzix live and till then, I wish the both of you well and happy making - love from Malaysia

[@kristinevencel2898]

Thank you so much for these live videos and for giving us so much food for inspiration and creativity. I have classes every Saturday AM so i watch the replays. Tim, you and Mario are such a great team. And you are always so upbeat and positive. Makes the 2-3 hours fly by. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us. ❤

[@marchellecometh8462]

Between Sparkle and Glow and all the Sunshine You, Mario and the makers and the vendors bring into our lives is just absolutely incredible. Thank you for all the time and wealth of inspiration. Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas to all. 🎃🎄🎃🎄😝🎄

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I bought the sets I was missing so fast that I think I gave myself whiplash. Thank you, thank you, thank you because now I have a full set of the Halloween and Christmas sprays.

[@sharonpurdum8073]

Thank you so much for all your videos. I have learned so much about using my products. Keep it up Tim and Mario!!

[@Jude1970]

Thankyou Tim, you make me want to try everything, so much inspiration, can’t wait for Sizzix next week! 🙏

[@nancygollatz3572]

That was great. Love your teaching. I look forward to seeing the videos.

[@schurmieD]

Dear Tim and Mario, thank you so much for your inspiration and creative ideas.

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

Your lives are always so inspiring Tim. I've had a crazy busy week, so have had a couple of watches through this to absorb it all. But man, you bring the magic every time and I SO appreciate your teaching and sharing, I am always so inspired by what you teach. I'm looking forward to using my Grit Paste Snowfall and loving the new Christmas Mica Spray colours! No surprise, I want them all! xoxo

[@Laura-zw2kn]

So many good inspirational things! The most important thing that I'm taking away is what you said about agenda based making! I've been crafting for a lot of years and I'm just starting to get that very thing. Thank you so very much for all the wonderful support to your great products, they are some of my favorites to make with and knowing the properties of each of them really is helpful. I'm very grateful to you and some others in this industry for all the support, what a wonderful community! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you and lots of love to you and Mario!🥰

[@jenifersteffen8226]

Hi, id loke to say one thing, i Love love love tim talks. They lift me up. My days are not great usually but you make my day. Also, I need sparkle. I'm going to order it today.

[@lindafieldsstudio]

I love your creativity and how you think! You and Mario have just loving, caring hearts. Thank you for saying your beautiful message at the end - you're so right! It boils down to showing respect and try to walk in someone else shoes. It's called empathy. So God bless your heart for saying your message. I can't wait to use these new Mica's. Thank you for teaching and stressing experimenting is good for the creative soul. Love you both!

[@margaretgoertz8751]

The seasonal colors are the yummiest! So happy for these to arrive.

[@ritaanderson4026]

Hi from Utah. Love your lives and demos. Thank you Tim and Mario. Thanks to all the makers.

[@alisakerwoodakarainbowangel]

I have to catch you on replay on Sunday because I work on Saturday at a place where you can meet the maker's Thank you for the Inspiration. Please tell Mario hello. The both of you have a great week

[@aliceartioli6335]

Tim and Mario, I love how professional and kind you are, I tre to never miss your demos, even if I find it very hard to find your products here in Italy. Sometimes I tre to make some " pretend " versions of your products but them never work the same. You inspire me every time to become a better artista and a better person. Thanks!

[@Taitcreates639]

Tim, I just love all of your tips and tricks to help us along out creative journey. Loving that red tag with texture paste and mica stain, can you say gorgeous. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@debbiebugh8508]

Can’t wait to use Sparkle on flames in fireplaces or candles! Beautiful!!

[@dianerizak2894]

Wow! I can't even find the words for how amazing all the products you showed in this video are!! I have some of your inks and have always loved them but i don't have any of those gorgeous mica stains. Everything you did with them was just beautiful in the video so I can just imagine how stunning they are in real life. And those pastes!!! That ice effect on the window made with the snowfall grit paste was so cool!! I definitely need that in my life! And I love how you can color the sparkle paste and still have it be translucent with just the right amount of sparkle...and with suchba beautiful shine! I could just go on and on...lol. Oh wait...i will go on...the poinsettia embossed card!!! Sooo stunning!!! I dont have the products you used but i am going to be trying that technique with what I have for sure! I really hope that someday I can get all of these wonderful products. Of course...two years later (since I discovered them) and I'm still pining for the distress embossing glazes...lol

[@kimwolff5051]

Thank you Tim. Your words were spot on!

[@sondradudley6515]

Mr. Holtz today you have given me a new excitement to create. Thank you.

[@reneemcgrath2653]

Thank you for the tip about the water squirter thingamabob inside. I just thought I was doing it wrong and bingo! It was bending towards the back! I learn so much and I love your outlook on life. Last week’s “don’t yuck someone’s yum” has stuck with me and makes me smile😊

[@kerryevans3695]

You are such a great sales person! I always appreciate your demos! I love that you say schnozzle!!

[@lisagheno-cuevas6191]

Tim, thanks for reminding me to be comfortable playing with my products. It definitely frees creativity and creates magic✨ Your energy is infectious and I’ve caught the bug and can’t wait to make a crafty mess.

[@gabriellezelasko4590]

Thank you for showing how to use the products. And I love the Christmas vintage look

[@shelton1567]

I always learn so much and get great ideas. I appreciate that you use many of the same techniques and same products again and again because I sometimes forget how to use the product and the technique and this gives me a refresher course with an added twist, ex. inking an embossing folder. LOL I wrote it down today! Having worked with the public for many years I thank you for your Tim talks, they are needed.

[@kathill8501]

Thank you Tim and Mario! I so appreciate what y’all do. Bringers of joy and crafty goodness.

[@marjbiehler7628]

Tim, Great live and as the person below me wrote, your Tim Talk was perfect! Thanks for saying what I've been thinking.

[@kjones1785]

I love , love , love the micas!! so happy to see these extra colours that fit perfectly with the others , thank you Tim and Mario

[@shellp888]

Great demo as always! I look forward to your enthusiasm and creativity. Thank you for giving so much of your time 😊. And your Tim talks are great and this weeks was right on spot with the entitlement issues we have now. But you and Mario are a bright spot in our crafty world☺️

[@veramats]

Thank you for the video inspiration, and thank you for taking the time to blog the photos so we can recreate and learn from your samples!

[@kayetling8092]

Learned so much. Just have to get my micas out n play. Thanks so very much

[@sarahcox8161]

You have given me so much inspiration Tim :) I just love watching you do all these great ideas with your products. Thank you so much xx

[@lizasullivan5127]

So much stuff that was shown and I love it all. Just have to get in there (my craft room) and do it. Thanks.

[@andreahargreaves4400]

Thanks Tim, I’ve watched the recording and wanted to say how great it is to see you use the different products. I’m new to all these aspects of paper crafting and am so inspired by your enthusiasm and creativity. I’m all about Christmas so will definitely watch live next week ( I’ve set my alarm!) and see all the makers examples. Cheers… see you next time 🎅🏼

[@callycatus]

Thankyou Tim and Mario ..oh I loved the ink on the background of the poinsettia and the white too wow! it really made a difference 😮Thankyou for all the inspiration ..

[@vickihuffman]

Watching the replay the next day. Love your vibe and would probably buy snake oil from you and Mario. My paycheck takes a big hit with each new release but it’s so worth it. The lives fuel my passion making - the demos and makes are so inspirational. Thank you both for sharing your talents and goodwill. It makes a difference in this world.

[@marylintruelove3317]

Great job with the Tim talk...so sad its necessary at all but it was spot on. Off to order my new Mica sprays!!!

[@kimcarlisle1510]

Gosh I just can’t thank you enough for your spirit and inspiration. So excited to play with sparkle and black! Just love all you offer and the ideas you give us all.

[@anniegotakindlee]

I love these lives. So much inspiration. I absolutely love the micas. So much fun! Thanks to you and Mario for sharing. .

[@lynnburns3715]

Tim and Mario, we love you guys! The Tim Talk at the end was great! Keep on keeping on!

[@lalohan-qx9pc]

THANK YOU Tim and Mario for the wonderful live as always. I want the sparkle! Looking forward for the next live and the Tim talks.🤩

[@kathybailey9711]

I recently used the mica sprays I have bought over the past three years to make a sunset background on a birthday card and loved them! So many ways you can use these all year! Thank you, Tim for all the amazing products and great videos!

[@jenniferjohnson4937]

Love the Sparkle Texture Paste!😊

[@stephaniearii8611]

Aloha Tim. I loved your video. I stenciled Christmas cards while I watched. Also, while I watched, the mailman delivered my new holiday mica sprays. I am excited and happy because last year I made beautiful ornament cards with mica spray. Thank you for the great products and inspiration!!! I am going to start making swatches.

[@anngorgone8464]

Love the micas and your wonderful talk. But oh my checkbook! Thank you for your videos.

[@urikadackepersson1846]

😮wow!! What a great and funny demonstration! I love it and want all!!!😂😂😂 So much new and wonderful stuff and so easy to use. I will probably go to New York next year and my shopping list are Tim Holtz stuff!!!!. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lindamarker9534]

How beautiful! I love your photo mats and inserts! An incredible job on the entire album! Can’t wait to make one for the holiday season!

[@sherryweston9876]

Didn't get to watch the live, but loved every minute today!!! The demos were amazing loving CHRISTMAS 2023

[@lynetteyozzi8829]

Thank you, I love how you explain all your techniques and give tips, so helpful.

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

Thank you so much, as always, for all the work you, Mario, The Companies and The Makers do to create this wonderful magic! The palette is terrific. I've already used Snowfall and it's great (no yellow undertone) and also Grit Black. Sparkle looks luscious and I vote for keeping as much as possible for year-round within the confines of what is possible for Ranger. That rebellious digit that never wants to join the party is itchin' to push that "End The Stream" button... it needs a serious talking to, lol. Thank you for The Tim Talks...lifts me up to know that there are others of like mind out there making waves.❤❤❤

[@kayetling8092]

I was in s card class but here now. So excited. Thanks for your n Mario time. I’ve been making Tim Holtz Halloween cards. Fun

[@jackiehorn3724]

I love fall. ( and candy corn….lol….). But don’t do Halloween. But wow some of the products you put out between all the various companies you work with are not just to be used st Halloween, but for fall in general and lots of other times of the year. Christmas and thanksgiving are my time. And I absolutely love winter season in general. Thank you for these color palates and other products. Your fabric……well…..I just cannot get enough.

[@maxvanbalgooy]

Always terrific to see you at work to learn techniques. One of the biggest insights is that the most interesting backgrounds require four to five layers-and you have to patient as you go through layers two to three. Those “middle” layers are messy and ugly (that’s when I say to myself “what the heck?”), but things come together with a bit more effort.

[@karendejarnette6675]

Oh EEK! In the first 5 minutes of the video I hear you are getting ready to decorate for Halloween!!! So excited to see how you and Mario decorate this year!!!!!

[@angiadcock8196]

That sparkle paste looks so pretty. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I have all the other holiday pastes and I haven’t been disappointed by a single one. For anyone who thinks they already have something similar in their collection, I promise you don’t. Each one does something different than anything else on the market. I’m m a paste addict; I would know.

[@92staffy]

Always worth listening to the end for the info chat lol Great demos as per normal have a great weekend Tim & Mario 🍹

[@alisandra7962]

Li 😘Thank you, Tim. Perfect live, a fun to watch like always, lots of information to work with. I love your presentations.

[@michellemybelle22]

I got a nail polish bottle shaker to shake these sprays quickly. It uses vibrations to quickly reconstitute the formulas and I love it!

[@marusnak1113]

The Sparkle is fabulous!

[@1busybetty]

Hi Tim, Just watched the live replay. So much inspiration, how can you not get excited. Thanks for all the amazing demos! Glad I watched to the very end to learn about Scrubby Soap. I have an ancient pumice-like scrubby that I can't wait to replace with the soap.😀

[@HappilyEllaAfter]

Tim & Mario-you two always make me smile. Thank you! ❤

[@tamaraklepel1517]

Tim! I laughed out loud! You do tend to ramble a bit, but I don't find you annoying at all. But when you said you can hear it - I know others like that! They don't realize they are rambling! Love your thoughts and choices and colors for Christmas. Great ideas and tips! Thank you!

[@MargaretBerube]

i love that you show the differences between the colors

[@barbarafender7046]

Had to watch on replay but really enjoyed this live!
