This week we are welcoming the lovely Ann Chuang aka Ann Chuang Crafts  into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Ann created a card using a masculine Tim Holtz Baseboard Doll for the focus. For the background she used Tim Holtz Sizzix Typewriter 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder along with  Distress Oxide Sprays and Distress Spray Stain. She embossed the raised part with Gold Embossing Powder. 

Andrea altered a Tim Holtz Mini File Folder using a few of her favorite Tim Holtz stamp sets (Sideshow and Halftone and Rings). She got this handsome gent from Tim Holtz’s Photobooth images.

Anna-Karin made a tag this week, using a stamp from Tim Holtz Sideshow as her focal point. Tim’s Linen Stencil was used to add some of the background texture and the rest is stamped.

Barbara has created a card dedicated to love declined in a masculine way. To make it she used two heart dies by Tim Holtz Sizzix, Lovestruck and Faceted Heart, two stamp sets by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, The Professor 2 and Observations, Ranger Tim Holtz Archival Ink pad Mini kit 4 and 6.

Cheiron used all kinds of Tim Holtz Idea-ology to create her card including a Paper Dolls Portraits as the focal point and the Circuit Texture Fades colored with Statue Foundry Wax as her background. She finished her card with a mixture of Memoir Ephemera, Ephemera Snippets and a Metallic sticker.

Emma altered a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Tag to create a ticket shape, which she used as a base for a vintage style plaque. She layered a Paper Doll Portrait over a Stencil Card and arranged Industrial Gears and Sprocket Gears around the image, which she aged with Distress Paints and Foundry Wax.

Kath decided to dig in to some of Tim’s new Idea-ology products and decorated a Square Vignette Box with Idea-ology Collage Tiles, Eccentric Remnant Rubs, Gauge Dials, Paper Dolls, Ephemera Number Strips and Curator Snippets and Big Talk Snarky Stickers.

Macarena went a little bit romantic with her love card using Tim Holtz Lovestruck and Countdown dies. She wrote LOVE on the arrow using Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Label dies.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Idea-ology PAPER DOLLS MINI on the background and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology WORD KEYS and Tim Holtz Idea-ology WORD PLAQUES.

Sandra made a birthday card for her brother using Distress Oxide Spray Speckled Egg, Hickory Smoke, Walnut Stain, and mixed in Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold. She stacked the numbers of the Classic Lower Alphabet set and gave it a shimmer with Metallique Wax Bronze Age.

Zoey used some of the new Ideaology 2022 items – Paper Dolls Portrait, Gauge Dials and Ephemera Pack Memoir to decorate her tag. She also used Distress Oxide to color the background and Distress Glaze to color the paper doll portrait

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!
