Craft With Me - Let’s Make Tim Holtz Style Mini File Folders

Hey Guys,
In todays video I wanted to try out making my own mini file folders in a Tim Holtz grungy style. I love the way these came out. These are easy to make as long as you have a template to use for sizing. I cut out a square in the middle to make a window to attach a Tim Holtz Snap Shot in the middle. I hope you like them and craft along with me.

Thanks so much for watching!

Ok, the way you are able to grunge up ephemera when it is glossy is that you get some modpodge and white tissue paper. Glue the tissue paper over your glossy picture. Let wringle some too so it looks older. Once it dries, then you can ink the edges. Works like a charm.

I cant decide which one i like more 🤔. They're all super cool & btw i dig the unedited videos, i appreciate the in the moment genuineness. Perfection is definitely overrated 💚 143.

Fabulous video loving the folders, why not make a template out of acetate of your window so you can draw around the outside and see whereabouts on the photo you want to use. Love your quiet nature very easy to listen to you, hugs julie

Very, very friggen cool Miss Maggie, and certainly no need for apologies... heheheh, personally, I am a retired truck driver... but you are not doing anything wrong...
I absolutely love these !! whats really wild is i have every single thing to make these, exactly as you show them... I havent mastered it all yet... lol... so much of my supplies sit unused, brand new.. hardly touched.. but these, this project, is enough to really get me moving in the right direction... Thank you Maggie... You are a gem.
♥🧡🧡

Use fine sandpaper on glossy papers to give it some “tooth”. An emery board works on smaller pieces.

These are awesome. I will be making some.

Obsessed with Tim Holtz? I’m so obsessed with my TH stuff that I hoard it! I’m am not even kidding! I use the cutting dies and stamps and inks but ANYTHING that is possible to use up I seriously don’t even use! I can’t help myself! I have a problem! I need to find a Tim Holtz anonymous counseling group!🤓

I had to laugh. Today I pulled out a bunch of Tim Holtz stuff and then put it right back on the shelf. I bought all of this stuff on clearance about a year ago, and I still haven't used it. I honestly didn't know what to do with it, but hey..I got a great price! ;) heh heh. Thanks for the great idea, super cute. I don't have a template but I think I can figure it out. Thanks!

[lyndab]

They are fabulous. I want to make some myself now haha. 👏🇬🇧😘

Maggie these are so fun! I love them and can’t wait to try them out! It’s hard picking a favorite but I’d say Original. I love watching (and hearing) your thought process as you’re doing your embellishing…and yes I answer to the tv when you ask for opinions 😊.

[lesliedenton]

These are wonderful, you should be on the Tim Holtz design team!

Those are really cute!!! To rough up the edges of the glossy file folders is use a nail file. File just enough to rough it up and the the ink should stay on. I have those glossy folders. I have tired it, but I think it should work.

These are GREAT! I put them 9n my TO DO LIST for my journals! Love eyelets, too! Great job embellishing! TFS

Great video. Thank you ❤. I’ve had exactly that problem with that set of Cathe Holden stamps. Going to subscribe right now and then binge watch 😂😂

[Janartable]

Love these!!! I love how your ephemera is so sorted and easy to find too. That’s huge when you’re making multiples. I love to use up ephemera too. Another project for me.

[sallyroyal]

Just stumbled upon your channel. & subscribed immediately. Loved the file folders.

[sophietennyson]

enjoy you showing the whole process, they all look great

[karenkettering]

Hi there! What a fun project! Hey, just use permanent ink with a distressing tool to grunge up your edges and then won't rub off.

[suzyallen]

😃always fun to watch you and your thought process
