Teresa used a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Tag and an Idea-ology Vignette Divider Box for her Thanksgiving inspired scene. She combined various distress papers from Ranger with Idea-ology products including Wood Slices, Barrels, Pine Cones and Toadstools. Various Tim Holtz dies were used to create the fall scene; Silhouette Birds, Pumpkin Duo, Bunny Games, Fall Foliage, Leafy Twigs and Alphanumeric Classic Lower. She finished with a little Reindeer Moss.

Andrea made a card using some stamps from Simon Says: Sketched Leaves and Big and Bold 2. For the card’s shape, she used Pinkfresh Studio’s Dotted Fancy Frames. The plaid and polka dot patterned paper is from Simple Stories’ Snow Pine Lodge collection.

Anna-Karin made a mixed media tag with a thankful theme. She used Simon Says Stamp Gratitude Sentiment Strips for the background. The flowers were stamped with Tim Holtz Floristry stamp and die cut with the coordinating Floristry dies by Simon Says Stamp.

Barbara created a fall card using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sketchy Leaves stamp set. The colors she used were all Ranger Distress Ink Pad and Simon Says Stamp Premium Ink Pad Barely Beige. For the sentiment Barbara used the new Sizzix Letterboard Sidekick Dies and Texture Fade.

Kath created Autumn themed Thank You cards using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Fall Foliage and Bold Text Thinlits, Stampers Anonymous Perfect Plaids and Antique Linen/Crackling Campfire Distress Spritz to add a touch of shimmer.

Macarena went very soft and a bit golden. She built the background with Brutus Monroe Gilded Ultra Fine Embossing Powder and so she embossed the Tim Holtz Abstract Florals, too. For the base she used Tim Holtz Cracked Leather Cardstock and for the main panel a piece of 49 and Market Krafty Garden Stacked Frames.

Maura created a vintage style distressed card for Thanksgiving. She used Prima Redesign Fall Sweet Fall stamps, Prima’s Nature Academia Ephemera, and distressed the edges with the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser. For the background paper, she used watercolor on leaves she had gathered and made prints on Canson Watercolor paper

Meihsia created a mixed media tag using  Simon Says Clear Stamps Par-Tea on the background, and colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET C Markers and Zig Clean Color 30 COLOR SET A Real Brush.

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
