Pauline created a simple background by blending Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks through a Lavinia Honeycomb stencil, then added die cuts using Simon Says Stamp Fresh Daisies die, a butterfly from AALL & Create Papyrus Essence die set, and the Simon Says You wafer die and matching You Matter stamp set. 

Andrea made a thinking of you/happy thoughts tag using a quirky character from Kate Crane’s KC015 stamp set. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz’s THMM182 stamp/stencil set. The tag itself is cut from Poppy Stamps’ Scalloped Pinpoint Tags die set.

Anna-Karin made a thinking of you card using the Wispy Pine Needle Frame embossing folder from the new And Everything Nice release. The birds come from Simon Says Stamp Vintage Blooms and Beautiful and Curious sets.

Barbara created a fall tag using the Simon Says Stamp Luggage Tags Wafer Dies (I confess, I’m in love with this die!). She added lots of fall leaves cut with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Skeleton Leaves Thinlits Die and colored them with Ranger Ink Distress Spray Stain. For the background, she used the Bricked stencil by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.

Cheiron created a sunny card to let a friend know she was thinking of them. She used the Simon Says Stamp Retro Wreath Die + Stencil set along with collage papers and Distress Oxides to create her wreath. She added it to a background of Distress Black Heavystock and finished it with spatter using Foundry Wax and Dina Wakley Gloss Droppers.

Emma has created a tribute of remembrance to honour those who have fought so bravely for our countries. She created a wreath of poppies using the Sizzix Brushstroke Flowers 2 die by Tim Holtz which she layered onto a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera tag. The background features the Rosette Mini Layering Stencil.

Kath was also inspired to create a card to honour the heroism of all those who have gone to war, past and present, to defend our liberty and to remember those who never returned, those who suffered life changing injuries and those that are left with memories that severely impact their lives. She used Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Correspondence Vault 2025 Paper Stash, Stampers Anonymous London Sights, Sizzix Modern Floristry Thinlits and Idea-ology Photobooth and Thoughts Label Stickers.

Macarena‘s love for cats led her to use the amazing Stamperia Furry Friends collection and its Assorted Die Cuts. She placed the lovely cat on the Simon Says Stamp Circle Quilt die and also used the circle leftovers to fill the page. She finished the card with a sentiment from Tim Holtz Abstract Florals stamp set.

Maura created an art journal spread about her sister. She used Simon Says Stamp’s Sisters Forever stamp set, Seth Apter Paper Artsy Printed Tissue, Tim Holtz Collage Medium, and Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks.

Meihsia was inspired to create a card using Simon Says Clear Stamps The Little Things and Tsukineko VersaFine ONYX BLACK Ink Pad on the background, and colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET B Markers. 

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!
