Carol was inspired by Leroy Anderson’s music composition ‘The Typewriter’ and she typed music instead of text using a vintage typewriter stamp from Tim Holtz’s Curiosity Shop For the background she used Distress Inks, Distress Oxide Inks, Distress Oxide Sprays, and added some dots and checks using a Mr Rabbit Stamp Set .

Andrea made a cassette tape notebook using Concord and 9th’s Mix Tape Rewind Die Set and her Sizzix Big Shot. She used her favorite sturdy paper, which Strathmore Mixed Media paper. The quote on the front is from Dina Wakley’s Ledger Paper: Set 2.

Anna-Karin was made a tag with a dance theme and used a paper with music notes. The stamps come from Tim Holtz Stamper’s Anonymous Purely Random set. The flowers were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Charming Flower Stem, from the new STAMPtember® release.

Barbara was inspired by John Lennon’s wonderful and famous song “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).” She created a shaker card with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Snowglobe 2 Thinlits Die. For the sentiment, she used two exclusive sets created for Stamptember 2025: the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Festive Sentiments Stamp and Die. She used Tim Holtz Ranger Ink Distress Rock Candy Chunky Special Edition inside the globe.

Emma was inspired by her love of music and in particular, her love of vinyl records and decided to recreate the look of vinyl, complete with a cover sleeve for her make. She created the vinyl record using Sizzix Opulence Black Cardstock and to decorate the cover, she used the Tim Holtz Sketch Manor Stamps and Simon Says Stamp Die Bundle, together with flying bats from the Haunted House Sizzix die set.

Kath created a card inspired by Nat King Cole’s classic Autumn Leaves using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Nature’s Wonder stamp set with Simon Says Nature’s Wonder co-ordinating dies, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Alphanumeric Bulletin Thinlits and the music notes from Idea-ology Christmas 2024 Collage Paper.

Macarena with her Art Journal page pays tribute to the best Polish combat Pilot killed in the crash of his fighter jet. She was inspired by Top Gun movie music using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Kraft Stock Metallic Classic for the entire background which she embossed with Tim Holtz Sizzix Foundry 3D Embossing Folder. For the callsign she used Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Bulletin dies.

Maura couldn’t decide on just one song, so instead created an art journal spread about the magic of music. She used Stamperia Music papers, Tim Holtz’s Flourish stencil, Simon Says Stamp’s Mocha ink, and Daniel Smith Phthalo Turquoise watercolor.

Meihsia was inspired to create a holiday tag using Stamperia Gear Up For Christmas Snowglobes Clear Stamps on the background, colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET C Markers and added sentiments using Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Christmas Sticker Book.

Zoey used Distress Spray Stain and Distress Ink pad to create her background. She then build up texture with collage paper. To decorate she used Ideaology Snapshot, Mummy Cloth and Clippings
