Carrie created fun 2×2 inch magnets of some of her favorite drinks using the Tim Holtz Happy Hour Thinlits Dies. Additional dies from the Sizzix Geometric Mask Die Set along with negatives from the Tim Holtz Retro Repeat Thinlit Dies and a Tim Holtz Side-Order Embossing Folder helped to create a whimsical trio of deliciousness!

Andrea paid homage to potions, which may or may not be delicious! She used Papertrey Ink’s Brew to Go dies and their Witches Brew stamp set. She added cobwebs using Tim Holtz’s classic Trick or Treat stamp set and added some ghoulish bubbly fizz with Dina Wakley’s gloss sprays in Black and Lime.

Anna-Karin made a coffee-themed card this week. The images were stamped with Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints 9 and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The background stamp is Simon Says Stamp Halftone Background and was stamped on kraft cardstock.

Barbara feels completely inside the Halloween mood! She made three tags with three different drinks suitable for the characters from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps set Monstruos CMS 307. The glasses are cut with Sizzix Thinlits Dies Happy Hour and for her backgrounds she chose the stencil Script and the stamp set Life of the Party CMS 380 by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, Sizzix Cracked 3D Textures fades Embossing Folder. She added a touck of sparkle with the new Ranger Ink Mica Stains

Cheiron made a card for a tea loving friend to remind her what a “HOTTEA” she is. She used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Cafe Colorize along with Ideaology Kraft Stock Stack to create her fun tea cups. She combined them with a sentiment from the Alphanumeric Theory Thinlits. She paired with a stamped and inked background from the Flurry and Pine stamps.

Emma is looking forward to Autumn and especially Pumpkin Spice Lattes and in honour of these, she created a Mini Sized Etcetera Tag to celebrate this seasonal favourite. She used the Sizzix Edison Colorize Die as a focal point on a background created by applying Distress Black Texture Paste through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Hocus Pocus Layering Stencil and then spritzing over the top with Halloween Mica Stains.

Kath is enjoying the last weeks of Summer, relaxing with a cocktail or two in the garden on warm Summer evenings. She created happy celebrating Summer cards using Simon Says Cardstock to die-cut Tim Holtz/Sizzix Layered Dots Thinlits to decorate the card panel, embossed with Simon Says Gradient Dot Embossing Folder and decorated with Tim Holtz/Sizzix Happy Hour Thinlits and Simon Says Journaling Sentiment Strips.

Lols loves to cool down with a glass of delicious beer on a hot summer’s day. She used a Tim Holtz Happy Hour Die Set, Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks for the beer glasses and spritzed with Tsukineko Sparkle. For the background she splattered with Distress Resist and Peacock Feathers Stain Sprays and then used Splatters and Digits Layering Stencils. She added a torn strip of Vellum, Trinity Stamps Bubbles and used a Tim Holtz Note Quotes and Woodware Beer sentiment.

Macarena made a birthday card for her crafty friend who likes red wine so the Tim Holtz Wine Blueprints stamp set was the perfect choice. She framed the glass with Tim Holtz Sizzix Tree Rings 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder.

Maura made a bubble tea tag using Art by Marlene’s Funky Tag, Tim Holtz’s Bubbles stamp, stamped, colored and doodled on Canson Watercolor paper, and cut out with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Everyday Scissors.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix INTERTWINED 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder on the background, and decorated it with Spellbinders Coffee or Tea Etched Dies and Tim Holtz Idea-ology STITCHED SCRAPS Embellishments. 

Zoey used Tim Holtz Sizzix Moonlight Thinlits Dies and Tim Holtz Sizzix Toil and trouble to decorate her project. She also used Apothecary Sizzix Die and Idea-Ology Ephemera to decorate it. To make some extra texture she used Tim Holtz Idea-ology HALLOWEEN Baseboards and Tim Holtz Distress Halloween Grit Paste Glow.
