Ann used two colors of Distress Oxide Spray,  Sizzix Numbered 3D embossing folder and some Tim Holtz Idea-ology to make a masculine card. 

Andrea used Seth Apter’s Gridiron die set to create visual interest on her tag. The tag itself is cut with Waffle Flower’s Nesting Tags die set and the slide-frame is from Tim Holtz’s Specimen die set. The tag is finished off with a Tim Holtz Photobooth image.

Barbara created a masculine, travel-inspired tag using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault World Travel Thinlits dies. For the center, she chose a picture from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Photobooth, and for the sentiment, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Quote Chip Labels. She colored her tag with Ranger Ink Distress Ink Pad, Broken China and Rusty Hinge. She distressed the edges using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad Woodsy.

Cheiron created a simple and masculine Hello Card using Tim Holtz Neutral 8 x 8 Palette Paper pack. She added a sentiment from the CZ Design Classic Friendship stamp set and cut it from the coordinating dies and placed in on a cut out Elongated Hexagon. To finish her card, she added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatter.

Emma created a Disney themed Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Panel in celebration of Father’s Day because she has many happy memories of watching Disney films with her Dad. So with this in mind, she made a Mickey Mouse themed project and used Spellbinders dies including Steamboat Willie, Alphabet and Frames and Sentiments, combined with the Sizzix Vault Industrial Die Set by Tim Holtz.

Kath created a Father’s Day card using Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Neutral 8″ x 8″ Palette Collection, Stampers Anonymous Distinquished and Sign Painter and Simon Says Stamp Sign Painter co-ordinating dies and Sizzix Tailored Thinlits.

Macarena made a textured tag with one of the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3D Texture Embossing Folders and she aded Tim Holtz Sizzix Tailored dies combined with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Gauge Dials.

Maura created a masculine tag using Tim Holtz stamps such as The Professor, Inquisitive, and Observation. She used Tim Holtz Collage Paper Archives in the background, as well as layers of ink.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps The Professor 2 and Ranger Best Dressed Archival Ink Pad And Reinker Bundle on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology INDUSTRiAL GEARS Embellishments. 

Zoey used a paper doll as main character of her tag. She also used Texture Paste throught a Layering Stencil and Distress Spray Stain for her background. To highlight texture and add some light she used Gold. Her sentiment is a stamped image on a same toned watercolor panel to keep everything cohesive.

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!
