Laura made a summery tag using a Gina K Sunshine Stencil and a Spellbinders Sun Rays Embossing Folder along with Tim Holtz Mustard Seed Distress Oxide and Dina Wakley Ranger Lemon Media Gloss Spray. For the sea she tore some white card and brushed with Cosmic Shimmer Tempting Teal Texture Paste and sprinkled with WOW Glitter Minty Embossing Powder. She made the origami boat from a scrap of newspaper and added Washi Tape sentiments.

Andrea made a vibrant summer tag using AALL & Create’s Intricatags Die Set and Tim Holtz’s Cutout Lowercase Alphabet Dies. She also pulled in some Spring Song paper by La La Land and some Color Palette paper by Simple Stories.

Anna-Karin made a beach card using Hero Arts Color Layering Sunset Over Waves set. The texture on the sand was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background and the sentiment just above it comes from Simon Says Stamp Dandelion Messages.

Cheiron created a card with the colors of summer using the Simon Says Stamp Sunshine Stencil and Distress Inks. She went over her ink blending with Distress Spritz to make it really shine. She added the I Think the World of You die cut from Matte Gold Cardstock. To finish her card, she added tiny hearts that she cut from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Falling Hearts dies.

Kath created an Art Journal page in her Stamperia A5 Stone Paper Mixed Media Journal remembering happy days spent at the beach. She used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Rays, Splash and Speckles Layering Stencils and Idea-ology Snapshots Volume 2 and Archives Collage Paper to create her beach scene.

Macarena made this summer tag by stamping the background with Tim Holtz Mr. Rabbit and Faded Type stamps and heat embossing them with Simon Says Stamp White Embossing Powder. She added a lovely picture from Tim Holtz Ideaology Snapshots Volume 2 and the wording with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault World Travel dies.

Maura added a quirky scene to a watercolor journal she started in Florida using watercolors like Daniel Smith’s Phthalo Turquoise. She used Creative Expression’s Life’s A Beach stamp set, Simon Says Stamp’s Adirondack Chair die, with a beach blanket made from Tim Holtz’s Colorblock fabric.Snails from AALL and Create’s Shells and Stems die cuts with umbrellas are strolling along the beach.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps AIR TRAVEL on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints Strip COCKTAILS Cling Rubber Stamps and Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps TRAVEL BLUEPRINT.

Zoey used Simon Says Clear Stamps Beachcombing to add some summer vibes to her tag! She also used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Snapshots Volume 2 as main focus. To decorate the background she used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Photographic Collage Paper and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Palette Collage Paper
