It’s Kerry’s   last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

Kerry used Lawn Fawn’s Build a Birdhouse and Christmas Add-On dies, Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Nesting Rectangle Frames Dies, Wow White Puff Embossing Powder, White Gesso and Waffle Flower Elegant Christmas 2 Stamp and Die Set for her wintery slimline card.

Andrea made a Christmas card using Tim Holtz’s Vault Festive Wreath die set along with some gorgeous patterned paper from Simple Stories’ Snow Pine Lodge collection. She brought in some jolly greens with Dina Wakley’s Lime and Fir paint.

Anna-Karin made a wintery Christmas tag with a frosty watercolor background. The snowmen and lamppost were die cut with Tim Holtz Vault Winter Wishes set. Their bodies were die cut from Simon Says Stamp Velvet Luxury Cardstock to give them a soft look and feel. The snowflake is die cut from Simon Says Stamp Vellum.

Barbara created a winter tag with an unusual color palette, purple and turquoise! ​​She chose the beautiful snowflake from the Vault Winter Wishes Thinlits dies by Sizzix for Tim Holtz as the centerpiece. In the background, she used the new stencil from Stampers Anonymous, Sparkle Fade in the mini version. She used Ranger Ink Distress Spritz Picked Raspberry to make her tag sparkle.

Kath created a Wintry Christmas card using the Postage Stamp dies included with the Tim Holtz/Stamptember 2024 stamp set, the images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Home For Christmas, snowflakes from Mini Weathered Winter and Mr Frostie and Simon Says Pawsitively Clear Dazzling Gems.

Lols  made a Christmas card using a fun Paper Artsy JOFY 105 Cling Stamp Set. She colored with Zig Real Brush watercolor pens and added a few dabs of Star Dust Stickles and a strand of May Arts Irridescent White Metallic String to add some sparkle. For the background she used Distress Inks, a Tim Holtz Merry Christmas Layering Stencil, a Simon Says Stamp falling Snow Stencil and White Embossing Powder.

Macarena made a Christmas card using the traditional colors and some dies by Tim Holtz/Sizzix: Layered Dots, Bowtied Colorize, Holiday Brushstrokes and paper stash: Kraft Stock Stack Cool, Kraft Stock Sparkle Classic.

Maura headed to the funny farm to create her card, the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Funny Farm stamps, that is. She also used Simon Says Stamp’s Making Spirits Bright stamps and used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Lilac and Marine inks.

Meihsia was inspired to create a Christmas card using Stamperia Blue Land 12×12 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Stamperia Gear Up For Christmas Snowglobes Clear Stamp and Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET C Markers.

Zoey use the new Tim Holtz Mr Frostie stamp set to decorate her tag! She also used Distress Spray Stain and Distress Mica Stain to add some sparkle! She also used Distress Archival Ink to stamp and Mummy Cloth to add some textural element
