I've never attempted these before, but thought the challenge would do me good. Like I needed something else to do. I don't have that many of Tim's fabulous dies or stamps, but will try to make do with what I have. I might even use up some of my stash.
For the first one I had a house die, but not his. I cut offf the spooky bits, and used grungboard, with a different embossing folder (distressed lines) Cut it up as instructed and there was my house. I put a heap of white acrylic paint at the bottom and on the roof and fence for snow, sprinkled glitter on it and waited for it to dry. I actually had some mica that I had been too mean to use, so in the windows that went. I made a ticket and stamped the only stamp I had that fitted on it.
I would like his fence edge die, well I would actually like all of them. I hope Santa is listening. My tags I cut out, so I have no idea what size his are (tags that is)
The garland I made with great difficulty by gluing together tiny holly leaves ( I have a tiny holly leaf punch) The easy bit was putting the ink on the background.
Watch this space for day 2, I have no stamps for this, so brain working overtime.

Your is great Wendy, I love the house and the three D effect of it all. I'm working on mine at the moment and don't have any house dies so have cut one by hand - well, more of a rough shack really, but hopefully I can make it look Christmassy!
Your tag is faulous Wendy! Great improvisation!

Well I think your intuition did good 'cos this tag is fab. Tim's tags are 160mm x 80mm if that helps. xx
Oh gorgeous Tag, love the tree!

Beautifully creative version of T!ms tag Wendy, your house and tree look fantastic, cant wait to see what you do with tag 2 - thanks for sharing xxx
A gorgeous tag Wendy, all the improvising is fabulous.
I didn't have any of the stuff for day 2 either but I think that actually helps as I just had to find things that went together rather than trying to find something to go with the proper stuff (which is why I struggled with this one!!!)
