Tim Holtz Distress Holiday Sparkle Set of 2

Add nostalgic vintage sparkle to mixed media with metallic glitters

Tim Holtz designed these glitters specifically for vintage holiday aesthetics, the kind of subtle, tarnished sparkle you find in old ornaments and mercury glass rather than contemporary craft glitter brightness. Each 1-ounce jar contains fine-milled particles that catch light without overwhelming your composition. Tinsel Glitter delivers silvery highlights with slightly weathered character, while Garland Glitter adds warmer metallic tones that complement aged papers and distressed surfaces.

Mix these glitters with Distress Collage Medium to create textured, dimensional applications that maintain workability as you spread them across surfaces. The fine particle size suspends well in medium without clumping or settling too quickly. Alternatively, apply Glossy Accents first, then sprinkle glitter onto wet adhesive for controlled placement, useful when adding sparkle to specific elements like stamped images or die-cut shapes. Both approaches let you build up coverage gradually, keeping that nostalgic quality intact rather than creating heavy, opaque glitter coverage.

These coordinate naturally with Distress inks and papers, maintaining the muted, layered aesthetic that defines mixed media work. The vintage-inspired metallic tones work particularly well for holiday cards, journal pages, and altered art pieces where subtle shimmer enhances rather than dominates your design.
