Carrie took on the challenge of creating both prompt options. She created two colorful tags using Ranger Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks on Tim Holtz Yupo paper, cutting them out with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Framelits Tag Die. For the drink part, she used an adorable stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. The mice were colored with Spectrum Noir TriBlend Alcohol Markers. Some Simon Says Stamp sequins and fluffy yarn helped to create these fun tags!

Andrea used alcohol inks (Sailboat Blue, Citrus, Cloudy Blue and Smolder) to color the panels of her bookmark. She added some text-stamped paper that she made with Tim Holtz’s School Desk stamp set and also used Tim’s Dotted stencil for the background.

Anna-Karin made a card with a textured alcohol ink background, made on Ranger’s Yupo cardstock. She used various alcohol inks and Alcohol Blending Solution for the background. The flowers were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Fresh Cut Floral Stem die and the sentiment with Simon Says Stamp Simple Hello.

Barbara created a Halloween tag using various Ranger Alcohol Inks (Cloudy Blue- Cool Peri – Slate – Pitch Black – Currant Gilded Alloy) using White Heavystock Yupo as a base. To complete the tag she used the Sizzix dies for Tim Holtz Fright Night and Gothic Portraits and the Foreboding stamps set CMS470 by Stampers Anonymous

Kath used some of the new colours of Tim Holtz/Ranger Alcohol Inks to create a background on White Yupo, stamped and heat embossed with Simon Says Old Letter background and added flowers and leaves from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous French Garden die-cut with the co-ordinating die set from Simon Says Stamp.

Macarena made a simple tag with an alcohol ink bacground made with Gel Press 8×10 Gel Printing Plate and Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Patina and Stream. She added Tim Holtz Sizzix Tailored dies and 49 and Market Wherever Chipboard Bits.

Maura played with a variety of Tim Holtz/Ranger alcohol inks for her backgrounds, and added fun dies cuts like Tim Holtz/Sizzix Funky Trees Thinlits, and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mischievous Thinlits to her cards.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Simon Says Stamp Hey Sweetie Wafer Dies on the background, colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET C Markers and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology CLiPPiNGS Sticker Book.

Zoey used Distress Paint to create her rusty tag. She also used Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Halloween Sticker Books to decorate it! For the crackle she used Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paste Translucent Ranger
