Tim Holtz Surf Shack with Shari Carroll
Happy Friday everyone!! It’s Shari here with a fun project. I’ve worked with the Tim Holtz Surf Shack and Village Dwelling dies to create the cutest little beach house!!!! It’s so gnarly!!
I started out with the Nostalgic Kraft-Core cardstock and cut out several of the elements in different colors. I tried to stick with colors that would look retro. I also used the Texture Surfaces to cut out the roof pieces. Once I painted them with Brushed Pewter Distress paint it really looks like corrugated steal!
I used a little bit of Fired Brick and Antique Linen Distress ink to color the life preserver, and some Distress paints to give the house a weathered look.
I decided it would be cute to put “Hang 10” on my shack, so I used the Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Thinlits Dies in fun colors and strung the “Hang” up by attaching string to the porch posts. I placed the “10” to the front of the porch.
I have a full process video for you that you can see below or on our YouTube channel.

Oh my this 3D shack is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us, Shari:)
This immediately reminded me of Beach Blanket Bingo … ah … those were the days !!!
Great project! :)
Oh my this is so adorable. Would be so cool to make a summer vignette with, too.

Oh how adorable. I love 3-D paper projects. :o)
That is so awesome!! Fantastic job!
Wow! This made me smile big time. : )
Awesome project, love it!
Gorgeous project, beautifully created, love it!!!
Super adorable!! Love the corrugated tin roof!
This is amazing.
I am not usually into distressed stuff but this is so awesome!
I love the look the textured cardstock gives. But that roof takes the cake!! So cool, it does look just like corrugated metal. That gives me an idea on how to use Tim’s rust technique to make it look like a metal roof that’s rusting just a tiny bit. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is so darn fun!
This is way too cool.
Such a fun creation! Love it from each and every angle, especially the tin roof! gr*8!!
This is so adorable!!

Shari this could not be more adorable. Great project and I really love the roof. It looks so realistic. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing project!
Isn’t that the most darling little beach shack?
So Friday!!! Now make a margarita !
The creativity shows with this piece! The little surf shack is the cutest, with its hang sign, surfboards, palm tree, and other elements!
Just waaay too cute. I am in love with what you created. Thanks for the great design and project idea.
Shari, OMG! This is, like, TOTALLY awesome! This has got to be one of the best, cutest, paper-crafting projects I have ever seen. I LOVE this!
Oh my GOODNESS Shari, this is just SWEET! I love projects like this.
I made a bird house (with NO die or template) a few years ago. The thatched roof comes off and the birdhouse can be filled with candy or a small gift.A little bird sits in front of the acetate hole.
THIS is my kind of project! Also, I loved the surfer music while watching the video. Very enjoyable! TFS!
This is fabulous I love all the details and the texture in the paper.
Wow what an amazing project. Love all these details on it.
So totally fun and awesome!! What a great project.
