It’s Anita’s last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2025! Thank you for all of your creations over the past month, it has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

Anita made a trio of winter ATCs, with distress inks and Simon Says ‘Lots of Snowflakes’ Clear Stamps in the background, and Simon Says ‘Rylynn’ & ‘Melody’ Snowflake Wafer Dies in the foreground. She used Pink and Main ‘Snow Drift’ Chunky Glitter for a frosty texture.

Andrea used Dina Wakley’s Fawns stamp set as the focal point for her snowy-cold card. The card’s funky-edged shape is courtesy of AALL & Create’s Numberama die set. She added touches of brown and blue with Infusions In the Navy.

Anna-Karin made a gingerbread cookies tag, with a frosty background and frosting on top of the cookies. She used the Simon Says Stamp Holiday Baking Essentials to die cut the cookies and utensils. The frosty background was made with Simon Says Stamp Star Lattice Embossing Folder and Distress Spritz.

Barbara made a tag using the delightful Tim Holtz Sizzix Be Of Good Cheer Thinlits Diecember 2024 limited edition. The background was created using various Ranger Distress Mica Stain and Distress Spritz, the Tiny Poinsettia stencil from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, and Ranger Distress Rock Candy Crystal Clear Glitter.

Emma embraced the cold and frosty theme and created a duo of favour boxes for the Christmas table. She used a combination of Sizzix/Tim Holtz dies, including Curio Box, Winter Wishes, Festive Wreath, and Holiday Classic and added a dusting of Mica Flakes and Rock Candy Glitter for that added touch of magical, frosty sparkle.

Kath created a card using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mr Frostie and the co-ordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Festive Wreath and Bold Text Christmas Thinlits and Distress Rock Candy Glitter to add a frosty touch.

Macarena made a set of frosty tags using Santa and Snowman from Tim Holtz Sizzix DieCember Be of a Good Cheer die set placed on Prima Merketing Red, White and Blue ReDesign Mould rosettes. For the background she used Tim Holtz Script Stencil and Distress Texture Paste Sparkle.

Maura was inspired by all the falling snow lately, and made some frosty themed cards using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Mr. Frostie stamps, sparkled it up with Simon Says Stamp’s Frosty Morning Sequin Embellishments, and used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks in Cadette and Pansy for her background.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Mr. Frostie on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology Christmas Candy Confections Bundle and Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Christmas Sticker Book.

Zoey used Mr. Frosty as main focus of her tag. She also used Sparkle Fade to add some texture and Distress Oxide + Mica Stain to color it all.

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!
