It’s Pauline’s last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

Pauline made a whimsical Christmas card and matching envelope using a variety of stamps from Lavinia Stamps including their latest Faelight Chronicles Collection, teamed with Olivia Small, Meadow Cottage, Woodland Cottages, Tilly and Tango, Small Pine Trees, Christmas Tree Group, and Gate and Fence. The scene was coloured using various shades of Lavinia Elements ink.

Andrea made a matching set of earrings using Tim Holtz products. She used Tim’s Junk Drawer Baseboards for the main elements, along with some Red Collage Eclectic Elements fabric scraps. She connected things together with the help of her trusty Crop-A-Dile and Tim’s Loop Pins.

Anna-Karin made a matching set of three Christmas gift tags. The tags are Ranger’s Heavystock #5 Tags and they were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Festive Merriment stamps. A few of the elements were gold embossed.

Barbara created a Christmas envelope and tag set using two Simon Says Stamp dies, Luggage Tags and Slimline Envelope. For decoration, she chose stencils and stamps from Tim Holtz: Stampers Anonymous, Twinkle mini version set 57, and Jolly Holiday cms474. For highlights, she used Ranger Ink Distress Mica Stains: Yuletide, Bubble Cauldron, Holly Branch, and Unravelled.

Cheiron created a set of magical bears using the Dina Wakley Scribbly Bears stamps. She added some bright color background using Gansi Tambi watercolors, and Gilded Foundry Wax Splatter. She finished off her crowns with some Ranger Golden Rod Stickles.

Emma‘s matching set is all about celebrating Christmas and the holidays with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She used the Spellbinders Classic Mouse Christmas Steamboat Embellishments Die Bundle to bring the magic to life and combined these with Tim Holtz products including the Holiday Postmarks stamps with SSS dies bundle, the Falling Stars Layering Stencil and the Cartoon stamp set all by Stampers Anonymous.

Kath created cards, gift tags and custom wrapping paper from Distress Kraft HeavyStock using Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Season stamp set and sentiments using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Merry & Bright Thinlits, Stampers Anonymous Scribbly Christmas and Simon Says Stamp Scribbly Christmas co-ordinating dies.

Macarena made a colorfull set of a card and a tag for which she used AALL & Create Circle Dance 6×6 Stencil for the background and Elizabeth Craft Designs Tag Variety Pack as a base for the stems and butterflies. She finished tha card with leftover circles from Simon Says Stamp Circle Quilt die.

Maura pulled out her Stamptember Tim Holtz Festive Holiday Kit to make a set of gift tags. She used some of her favorite watercolor paper, Canson, Zig Kuretake Watercolors, Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils,and the new Big Shot to cut her dies.

Meihsia was inspired to create two Christmas tags using Tim Holtz idea-ology 2025 Christmas Layers and Paper Dolls, and decorated them with Tim Holtz idea-ology 2025 Christmas Sticker and Tim Holtz idea-ology 2025 Christmas Backdrops.

Zoey used Simon Says Clear Stamps beautiful flowers to add the sentiment to her duo gift tags. She also used distress oxide ink and distress ink to color the background. Garden Greens was also a great touch!

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!
