Andrea made a mini tri-fold folio using Trinity Stamps’ Slimline Tag dies and AALL & Create’s Our House stamp set. She used some of her favorite stencils on this project, including Simon Says Stamps’ Scattered Stars, Fairy Hugs’ Water Stains and Tim Holtz’s Dotted stencil.
Anna-Karin made a tag inspired by a lovely day at the sea. The background was made with the Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Circles stencil and Ranger’s Mixed Media embossing powders. The colorful crab was stamped with Tim Holtz Sea Life.
Barbara made a set of Atcs and the envelope ( from Sizzix Chapter 3 Collector Thinlits Dies) to contain them using many Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stencils, including Mini set 23, Mini set 17, and Moon Mask. To complete her ATCs she used Tim Holtz Sizzix Bold Text Halloween, Mischievous and Alphanumeric Theory. To color her project, she used lots of new Ranger Distress Mica Stains from sets 3 and 4.

Emma created backgrounds for her Hamlet inspired card, using Layering Stencils by Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. She applied Translucent Grit Paste through both the Floral, and the script Mini Layering Stencil, before enamelling them with gold embossing powder and adding a hint of shimmer with Mica Spray Stains. She completed the card with the Spencer Colorize die and a feather from the Feathery die set.
