Memorial Day Card featuring Tim Holtz products with Shari Carroll

Welcome to the Blog everyone! It’s Shari here with a Memorial Day card featuring Tim Holtz products. I’ve pulled dies and papers together to create a representation of the American flag for my card with meaning.

The Harlequin die was a perfect fit to create stripes over red pattern paper. I was surprised at how well everything fit together.

The cloth like look of the blue paper from the Dapper collection, represents the fabric of a uniform. The heart is connected to the uniform with Idea-ology ring fasteners and a swivel clasp. The typed token “Brave” is placed to the right as a medal would be placed on a uniform.

I’ve used some heavy gesso on the heart to give it additional texture, once that was dry, I embellished with mirrored stars.

I’ve left all the metals and stars pristine, un-destressed or painted. I chose all my idea-ology pieces in the same color tone for coordination with the “Brave” token.  The final addition to this card is the ever important word for Memorial Day… remember.

  1. Really lovely card! I really like all the elements and how you put them all together. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Shari, I think THIS is my favorite Shari Carroll project, ever! So interesting how you used all of the products in ways not intended originally. A heart instead of a large star and OTHER holiday papers combined to make a “stellar” card honoring our brave military. God Bless America AND you!

  3. Your card is very creative! I like how the layout of the design makes it look like a flag, as well as the intended uniform design! Very nice!

  4. I love love this card, I love the way that you put the jewelry or embellishments on it it is wonderful all the different texture being used can’t wait to go get some and try it

  5. Perfect card for Memorial Day and very symbolic! I appreciated the video and your thought processes as you were creating. We should not forget!
