TIM HOLTZ. Is there anything else I need to say?

I love Tim Holtz and all his fun kids. you are so cute There are a lot of little dolls to play with in the pack, so I have enough for a month or two on Sundays. I love Tim's stuff and have been a fan of it for years. They are cute, beautiful, durable and easy to work with. Will buy again. and again . and again. and then I think he'll stop her. I HOPE NOT! This should be the highlight of every magazine!

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Retail availability

Hooray for repeats

These are 107 pieces of ephemeral material, and they repeat over and over again from large, medium to small, and not enough of what I was looking for. It's not varied. We all want something like us or something similar. That didn't happen with this mix. If I knew where to look and how to do it, I would make a better mix. You get the same numbers over and over again. Towards the end and three thirds of the way I found what I was looking for and only three and only one woman, ONE, not a happy…

Pros
  • arts, crafts and sewing
Cons
  • boring packaging

Versatile, durable die-cuts for a variety of uses

Tim Holtz is my champion at cutting and die-cutting, which I use in making handmade postcards! These are really thick and strong cutouts. Your little ones could play with it like I did with carved dolls a hundred years ago! They only have a small edge and are easy to glue. Please see my photo above for a card I made with them. (Hope that's not sideways.) All Tim Holtz products are well made and versatile. There are so many uses I can think of besides my cards like name tags, gift tags, games…

Pros
  • Die-cuts
Cons
  • Legacy model

Easier than designing it yourself

I have chosen the 2018 version of this product. There are more pictures of African Americans and one particularly charming girl in ethnic German costume, so there's a bit more variety. I like that the images are duplicated in different sizes. The material is dense, the print is good, the cutouts are clean. I wish there was a release of vintage animals (turn of the century circus, pets, zoo) as companion sets for dolls. Maybe sets representing different countries/ethnicities for people who want…

Pros
  • Scrapbooking and stamping
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
