Bonnie used a We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board to make the bags and then used Tim Holtz Stitched Ovals Dies to create the eggs. She used a Tim Holtz  Mini Bunny and Bow Set and decorated with Distress Oxide inks,  Fabulous Flourishes  and  finished with ‘Enjoy’ from a Traveler Words Die 

Andrea ran with the bunny inspiration this week and made two hippy-hoppy tags.  She used some exciting new products: Dina Wakley Peacock and Eggplant paints and Tim Holtz’s Cutout Lower cling stamps.

Anna-Karin was inspired to make a golden yellow Easter tag celebrating spring. The background was done with Distress Oxides and the beautiful flower stamps come from Tim Holtz’s Flower Garden and Mini Bouquet sets.

Barbara used Tim Holtz Sizzix Gift Card Bag  to create a little collection for her Easter wishes! She made these little bags with Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Etcetera PaperieTim Holtz Sizzix Springtime Thinlits and Embossing Folder  and  Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous  Ornate Trims.

Cathie created an Easter themed art journal page in her Dylusions 5×8 Art Journal. The background was created using Paper Artsy’s A Bit Jaded and Golden Sands Infusions pigments and the flowers are from the Paper Artsy Jofy 32, 33, and 45 stamp sets.

Emma’s vintage style burlap panel is full of the joys of spring! She created dimensional flowers using the Funky Florals 3 die set and added them to a Baseboard Frame layered over the top of Worn Wallpaper.

Kath was inspired by thoughts of Spring arriving in her garden to create an art journal page in her Dylusions Creative Journal using Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray, Idea-ology Botanical Collage Paper and a selection of Idea-ology Block Upper, Block Lower and Cut Out Lower Cling Foam Stamps

Lols made an Easter card using the little bunny and the colours of the flowers and eggs as her inspiration. She created a background using Yupo Translucent Paper and Alcohol Inks and used a Simon’s Exclusive Picture Book Bunny and Tim Holtz Wildflower Dies to create the meadow scene.

Macarena got inspired by the color of the eggs and the cute bunny picture. Her background is a Simon Says Stamp Grid Background stamp embossed in white and colored with Distress Oxide Inks. The flowers are made with CAS-ual Fridays 4 Petals set die and attached in a cool way to the base.

Maura made an Easter card, inspired by the bunny and beautiful spring colors, using Simon Says Stamp’s Bunny Hugs die, Some Bunny and Showers and Flowers stamp sets, along with Pink and Main’s Beach Babe papers and 28 Lilac Lane Rainbow Unicorn shaker mix.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag decorated with the beautiful Prima Cherry Blossom Flowers and embellished with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Butterflies Adornments.

Sandra went crazy with all kinds of butterflies from very small of the Butterfly Frenzy die and very big with the Layered Butterfly. With Infusions and Distress Oxide she gave them soft Spring like colors.

Zoey used the photo of the dip dye egg to re-create this Easter card, she also used distress ink pads as watercolors and Tonic Radiant Gold Nuvo Gilding Flakes!

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
