Teresa used a Small Tim Holtz Etcetera Tag and Stamperia Alice In Wonderland Paper along with Tim Holtz Perspective Butterfly, Papercut Cafe, and Artsy Stems Dies to create the whimsical feel of the tag. She used a variety of Distress Embossing Glaze and Mini Media Marks Cling Stamps to create a colorful distressed background.

Andrea loves using American Craft Embossing Pens to be able to emboss whatever you doodle. She made this doodle-y journal spread in Studio Light’s Creative Journal. She also used Dina Wakley’s Neon Scribble Sticks, and added a sentiment stamped with AALL & Create’s Bits of Alpha stamp set.

Anna-Karin used both dry and heat embossing on her Christmas in the City card. The background was dry embossed in the pretty Simon Says Stamp Star Lattice folder. The Christmas scene was built with die cuts from Tim Holtz Vault Christmas Magic. Most of them were embossed with several layers of Simon Says Stamp Clear embossing powder.

Barbara used two kinds of embossing to hit the theme! She created a Christmas tag for Tim Holtz using Christmas Minis Sidekick Dies and Texture Fade by Sizzix. For the background she chose the Stencil Shifter Peppermint stencil by Stampers Anonymous in the mini version (set 45). She used two embossing powders to make the tag shine (Ranger Embossing Glaze Lumberjack Plaid and Red Tinsel) and Ranger Distress Mica Stain Yuletide and Distress Spritz Crushed Olive. The sentiment comes from the stamp set Home for Christmas by Stampers Anonymous.

Cheiron created a colorful embossed panel using Distress Spray Stains and the Simon Says Stamp Flashy Flare Embossing Folder. She used Distress Watercolor Cardstock to create the panel and once it was embossed she sprayed the entire panel with Tsukineko Sparkle Sheer Shimmer. She finished her card with the CZ Design Thanks.

Kath created a trio of cards using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Brickwork 3D Texture Fade to add embossed strips behind the foliage images, stamped with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Forest Floor 2 and die-cut with Simon Says Stamp Forest Floor 2 co-ordinating dies, decorated with Idea-ology Postmarked, Label Stickers and twine bows.

Lols made a Christmas card using a Simon Says Stamp Fluted Forest Decor Embossing Folder and a Tim Holtz Vault Festive Wreath Die Set. She splattered the background with Gina K Glittering Gold Glimmer Mist and colored the die cut pieces with Distress Inks. She finished with Tim Holtz Christmas Stickers.

Macarena went colorful against the rainy autumn and heat embossed the background with Tim Holtz Botanic Collage stamp set and Simon Says Stamp White Fine Detail Embossing Powder and cover it with Simple Stories Vintage Essentials Typeset Rub ons. For the focal point she chose a butterfly from Tim Holtz Specimen stamp set.

Maura made a clear card with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Mr Frostie set, Simon Says Stamp’s Clear Acetate card, that she embossed with the Simon Says Stamp Faceted Snowflake Embossing Folder. She added color to the acetate with Tim Holtz Ranger Alcohol Pearl ink in Intrigue and Celestial.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Simon Says Stamps and Dies Old Fashioned Christmas on the background, colored the tag with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET E Markers, and heat embossed it with Hero Arts EMBOSS ULTRA FINE CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER.

Zoey used Embossing Clear powder to emboss her background. She added text with Ledger Stamp then she used Distress Ink Paint + Crayons to add some color! She also used the curator stamp to create a landing place for her focal image.

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!
