It is Jess’s last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)J

For Jess’s final guest designer spotlight she has created a delightfully patriotic  mini etc tag.  Using items from Tim Holtz’s holiday lines including Christmas fringe and Halloween typography, Jess shows you how to use your holiday themed items year round. 

Andrea made a quirky stars and stripes tag.  The stripes were made with paper strips and Tim Holtz’s Crochet Thinlits dies .  The stars were made with Simon Says Stamps’ Holy Stars die set and the creature was made using a Zini 11 stamp by Paper Artsy.

Anna-Karin made a stars and stripes tag, using mainly shades of yellow. The background was made with Tim Holtz’s Stars and Stripes stencils, and the lovely flowers were die cut with Tim’s Funky Floral Large die set.

Barbara has created an Etcetera tag with classic colors of the Independence Day! She used Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain Cardstock for the butterfly, a lot of  Tim Holtz Distress Products, Idea-ology Paper Dolls, Idea-ology Classic Label Stickers,   Idea-ology Numeric.

Cheiron created a patriotic card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix United States Thinlit Die cut from the Correspondence Paper Stash and Metallic Kraft Stock. She added some Stars using the Stars Layering Stencil. She finished it with a USA from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Americana Side Order.

Emma’s is celebrating the 4th of July with her Etcetera tag and she created a background of stars and stripes using Candied Apple and Chipped Sapphire Distress Paints, before adding the flurry of stars using Grit Paste through Tim Holtz’s Stars Shifter Layering Stencil.

Kath created a traditional style card to celebrate the 4th of July using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous The Professor, Rays and Stars Layering Stencils, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Swirling Stars Thinlits and added a funky twist with Wildflower Stems 1 Stars and Stripes flowers

Lols made a tag using a Small Etcetera Tag, for the background she used a Falling Stars Layering Stencil. Lols also used a Paper Doll and a new Trinket Frames Bigz Die 

Macarena made a colorful card with randomly ripped stripes using Stamperia Patchwork paper collection and Tim Holtz Sizzix Crochet die which is able to embellish absolutely every project. 

Maura  made a steampunk style card for the Fourth of July, using Stamperia’s Mechanical Fantasy paper pad, Tim Holtz’s Mini Blueprints Set 2, and his Idea-ology Sprocket Gears. 

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media card using Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp Flag Sketch and embellished it with Prima Market Rustic Gears. 

Sandra went for a dimentional stars and stripes card using Prima Moulds like Cogs and Wings and Mechanica and Art Stones for the dimentional part, and she used Opal Magic Blue-Gold, Metallique Steampunk Copper and Distress Paint Fired Brick to add some color to the back along with Nuvo Shimer Powder Catherine Wheel.

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!
