This week we’re welcoming back the lovely Teresa York into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Teresa used a small Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Tag and two Idea-ology Vignette Boxes for the base of her Christmas inspired holiday scene. She combined various distress papers from Ranger with Idea-ology products including wood slices and some woodland trees. Various Sizzix/Tim Holtz dies were used to create the festive scene; Vault Christmas Magic, Forest Shadows, Chilly and Freezy, Celebration Words Script. She completed the tag with reindeer moss and jute twine.

Andrea made a Tim-tastic card using skyline dies from Tim’s Vault Christmas Magic die set. She stamped onto her buildings using Tim’s School Desk and Grunged stamp sets. The card is cut out of Kraft Heavystock in a file folder shape from Tim’s Specimen die set and the sentiment is attached with Tim’s Cello Sticker Tape.

Anna-Karin made a mixed media canvas for a friend. The bird was die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Friends and all the greenery comes from the Vault Festive Wreath set. The background was stenciled with Tim Holtz Stamper’s Anonymous Latticework and Bubble stencils.

Barbara created a card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Acorns 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder. She used Ranger Distress Spritz Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Crackling Campfire, and Tsukineko VersaFine Clair Fallen Leaves Ink pad to color it. She added Tim Holtz Idea-ology Muse Tokens Coin to finish the card.

Kath used the newly released Tim Holtz/Sizzix Letterboard and Fresh Brewed Sidekick Side Orders along with her trusty Sizzix Sidekick to create a card for a friend who now lives far away to send her a Starbucks Gift Card and let her know she’s thinking of her and missing the conversations they used to have over a coffee.

Macarena made a card with a foresty mood using Tim Holtz Paint By Numbers stamp set for the background and Lovestruck Colorize die for the focal point and the sentiment she took from Abstract Florals stamp set.

Maura just may be trying to ignore the approach of winter with her card this week. She went for a Spring look with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Abstract Florals stamps, Tim’s Archives Collage Paper,and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Mr. Frostie on the background, and added sentiments with Tim Holtz idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS and Tim Holtz idea-ology METALLIC Sticker Book. 

Zoey used the Side-Order Letterboard to create the sentiment of her tag. She also used Postale Thinlits as her main focus + Wildflowers and some butterflies as decorations . For the background she used a bunch of Distress Oxide Inks and Broken China Distress Spritz to add some glam!

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!
