Rox created three tags with a distress ink background using a Tim Holtz stencil. She layered up ephemera from Tim Holtz Large Collage Strips. She also used Dina Wakley Collage Media Paper Antiquities and stamped an image from Pocket Circles and Ledger Script Quotes. Tim Holtz Cello stickers and Postmarked Sticker Book were adhered to the tags. White gesso was splattered here and there. 

Andrea made a layered card using American Crafts’ Whatevs Journaling Ephemera and AALL & Create’s Rainbow Reflections Ephemera. She also utilized Elizabeth Crafts’ Planner Cards 1 die set and Measurements stamp set.

Anna-Karin made a card with layered ephemera pieces and some items that she found in her scrap box. The ephemera papers come from Tim Holtz idea-ology Palette Ephemera Pack, Organic Layers, Number Strips and Snippets. The dragonfly was stamped with Stamper’s Anonymous Classics no 1.

Kath had great fun layering up ephemera in her Dina Wakley Ledger Journal using Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Collage Strips Large, Serendipity Collage Paper, Layer Frames Montage, Transparent Wings, Mini Marquee Letters and Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Dot Gradient Mini Layering Stencil from Set 39 with Distress Grit Paste Opaque to add some texture.

Macarena‘s projects are usually very layered and she loves to use ephemera to give dimension and build layers. For this tag she used 49 and Market Birdsong Ephemera Bits and Birdsong Wildflower Laser Cuts. She made this layered composition on a tag stamped with Stencil Girl Kintsugi stencil.

Maura created a tag about her favorite coffee company and added lots of layers and ephemera such as Prima’s Nature Academia Ephemera, Stamperia’s Altered Ego Ephemera, and Tim Holtz Mini Flair. She also added a coffee mug made with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Fresh Brewed B Blueprint stamps.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Shabby Rose 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology Organic Layers and Tim Holtz idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS.

Zoey used Tim Holtz idea-ology Wallflower 8 x 8 Paper Stash for her background. Then she build up layers with Ideaology Snippets and Ephemera Snippets. The focal image is from Paper Dolls Portrait and the sentiment is from Tim’s Clipping Stickers

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!

Rox used a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Snapshot, which she also distressed with ink and sprays. She then added text using a Tim Holtz Tidbits Stamp Set. She added some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Cello Sticker Tape and a Tim Holtz Small Talk Sentiment Sticker. She machine stitched a border around the card and layered onto a card base to finish. 

Andrea thinks bags are a great way to transport things, so she decorated this Small Brown Kraft Paper Bag with a Spring theme. The cute little bird is from Tracy Evans’ Quirky Birds stamp set. The patterns in the background and on the branch’s leaves are made with Tim Holtz’s Glitch 1 and Documented stamp sets.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page with the boat from Tim Holtz Artful Voyage as her focal point. The boat was masked with Simon Says Stamp Masking Paper and the background was inked with Distress Ink. The circles in the background come from Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Circles Stencil.

Barbara took a dip into the past by choosing a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamp set, Air Travel CMS 102, to decorate her March Memoridex. To color it she chose Paper Artsy Mattint Fresco Tint, two colors from Simon Says Stamp Premium Dye Ink Pads Bundle. She added the little airplane cut with the Sizzix die for Tim Holtz, World Travel.

Emma created a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Panel with a difference as she framed the panel using Bracket and Pinked Etcetera Trims. She layered various idea-ology pieces including Postmarked Stickers, Paper Dolls and Poses, Memoir Ephemera and Paper Strips to take you on a global journey.

Kath decorated a travel journal cover using Tim Holtz Idea-ology French Industrial 8″ x 8″ Vault 2025 Paper Stash, Archives Collage Papers, Cello Sticker Tape and Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Vintage Auto stamp set.

Macarena decided to take a flight with Lady Aviator using Stamperia Sir Vagabond Aviator collection and adding a bit of energy with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Paints to the background and the pictures. Doesn’t Lubmerjack Plaid look lovely on her lips?

Maura played with her new Stamperia Create Happiness Art Journal this week. She created her travel scene using Stamperia’s Art of Traveling 8×8 papers and Art of Traveling Ephemera, and added some interest to the background with Simon Says Stamp’s Grid Stencil.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Sea Land 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault World Travel Thinlits Dies and Tim Holtz idea-ology MACHINERY HEADS.

Zoey used Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault World Travel Thinlits Dies to decorate her tag. For her background she used Distress Spray Stain + Distress Oxide Spray and as embellisments she used Snapshot and die cuts pieces using the Collector die set.

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!
