Thom used a Steamboat Willie Duo by Sizzix and the Classic Mouse Alphabet for the sentiment. He used Antique Linen Distress Paint and then used a Tim Holtz Stitches Stencil along with Picket Fence Distress Paint. When the paint had dried he used a Waffle Flower Hearts Stencil along with Lumberjack Plaid paint and ‘aged’ using a Scorched Timber Distress Crayon.

Andrea made a card using two Kate Crane stencils: PS455 and PS483. The card base is cut with a Mama Elephant Deckled Frames die. She decorated it with Seth Apter’s ESA35 stamp set and the sentiment is from Tim Holtz’s Theories stamp set.

Anna-Karin made a tag with five faceted hearts this week. Two stencils were used in the background: Simon Says Stamp Snowfall and Banks and Tim Holtz Sparkle Fade. The hearts were die cut with Tim Holtz Vault Rosettes.

Barbara used two Tim Holtz stencils, Spots and Gears Mini Version set 052 to create the background of her tag. In the center is a Stampers Anonymous The Inspector Cms465 stamp, matched with Simon Says Stamp The Inspector Wafer Dies. She chose Ranger Ink Distress mini Oxide for coloring and added texture with some Seth Apter embossing powders.

Cheiron created a fun mixed media card using Distress Paints and the Tim Holtz Bubble and Digits stencils. She added cut out hearts to her card with a Tiny Attacher. She finished her card with stitching, a painted Idea-ology Numeric number, a Photobooth photo, and finally a Snarky Small Talk sticker.

Emma created a tag inspired by the ‘discovery of doing what you love’ and she used three Tim Holtz Layering Stencils from Mini Stencil sets, 33 and 48 to make the background. She then used Tim’s idea-ology products including Paper Doll Poses, Junk Drawer Baseboard and a pointy finger Figure Stand to complete the project.

Kath created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal using 4 of her favourite Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Layering Stencils –  Splotches, Mosaic, Digits and Bubble, Simon Says Stamp Wild Rose stamp set, Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Yellow Palette Collection Papers, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Handwritten Vacation and Journey Thinlits.

Macarena used Paper Artsy Kate Crane stencil and AALL & Create Circle Dance 6×6 stencil for the background panels. Then she added an image from Brutus Monroe Bookworm Creative Cards and completed the projects with word READ using Tim Holtz Sign Painter stamps and Simon Says Stamp Sign Painter Letters coordinated dies.

Maura headed to her Stamperia Watercolor Journal this week. She used Daniel Smith Watercolors such as Quinacridone Pink, along with several stencils including Simon Says Stamp In The Round stencil Fanfare stencil..

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using 3 stencils from Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set 59 on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology REGAL ADORNMENTS Metal and Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Dolls Portraits.

Zoey combined a bunch of Tim Holtz Layering Stencil to her background. She build up her layers with inks and paints. She decorated her tag with paper dolls and stickers from Ideaology
