It’s Wanda’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 :-)

Wanda has created her project on a Mini Etcetera Tag using Tim Holtz Floral Trims and Forgotten Garden Stamps and Coordinating Simon Says Stamp Die Set along with a Spots Stencil, a Intertwine 3D Texture Fade Embossing Folder. She also used Collage Strips Large Paper Strips Mini Stencil Chips Texture Hammer; Salvaged Hearts; Cello Sticker Tape; Chitchat Sticker Distress Paints, Inks, Spray Stains, Embossing Glaze, Texture Paste Opaque, Crackle Paste Opaque, Archival Ink, Watercolor Pencils, Crayon.

Andrea made a tag using lots of dies from AALL & Create (Intricatags, Heartnook and Frayed Frames). She added texture with fabric and Simon Says Stamp’s hole-filled Stitching Panel die.

Anna-Karin made a pastel card with soft textures: splatters and splotches, stamping, old book paper, a doily and more. The background paper is Ranger’s Specialty Stamping paper which in itself has an interesting texture. The roses, doily and leaves were die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Boutique set. The background is stamped with Simon Says Stamp Old Letter Background.

Barbara made a tag using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Forgotten Garden stamp set and the Labels stencil. She used Ranger Grit Paste Translucent and Prima Marketing Honey Finnabair Art Alchemy Metallique Wax as textures. In the center the butterfly is cut with the Sizzix Vault Scribbly Butterfly die and the small decorations with the Vault 2 Boutique thinlits die.

Cheiron created a tag with lots of texture using DIstress Opaque Texture Paste through the Feather Layering Stencil. She sprayed over the dried paste with Distress Spray Stains and did some stamping using the Correspondence set. She added a Photobooth photo along with a stamp from the Postmarked sticker book and a Snarky Talk sticker.

Kath created an Art Panel Collage in neutral tones decorated with paper from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Backdrops Volume 1, Serendipity Collage Paper, Postmarked Sticker Book, Cello Sticker Tape, all favourites from the new Tim Holtz Idea-ology release and Distress Texture Opague Crackle with the Deco Floral Mini Layering Stencil from Set 60 to add texture and added pops of colour with Distress Crayons

Macarena started with embossing the base of her tag with Tim Holtz Sizzix Tree Rings 3D Embossing Folder and then she added a stitched panel with a negative bird cut out from Tim Holtz Sizzix Silhouette Birds die.

Maura took the opportunity to cover one of her art journals with texture and color. She used Tim Holtz’s Deco Feather stencil, Ranger’s Transparent Matte Texture Paste, and added color with paints like the Dina Waklley Acrylic Paints in Ocean and Magenta.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using The Crafter’s Workshop WHITE MODELING PASTE and Tim Holtz MINI STENCIL SET 3 for the texture on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology TRANSPARENT THINGS and Tim Holtz Idea-ology PAPER DOLLS MINI.

Zoey used Grit Paste Opaque through the beautiful Damask Layering Stencil . Then she used Distress Spray Stain to add color to her background. She decorated her tag with Ideaology Items and Artsy Leaves

Andrea created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal using some of her favorite Tim Holtz stamp sets (Sideshow, Halftone and Rings, and Media Marks 2) for the patterns and collage pieces.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page to celebrate the green shades of spring. The page was done in the Dylusions Square Ledger Journal and the stencil used for the background is Tim Holtz new Labels stencil. The view master reel was die cut with Tim’s Vault Picture Show.

Barbara created a page using lots of Idea-ology elements: Word Plaques Large, Backdrops Volume 5, Palette Ephemera Pack. She added the typewriter stamp that is part of the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Curiosity Shop set. She chose two Distress Crayons to color the Paper Doll: Shabby Shutters and Carckling Campfire.

Cheiron created a page for her mini journal using a background of Distress Watercolor Pencil shavings from her palette. Then she did some stamping with Distress Archival Inks and the Mini Media Marks stamps, some pencil lines and some dots with a white Posca pen. She added a Mini Paper Doll, a stamp from the new Postmarked Sticker Book and a Smalll Talk sticker to finish her page.

Kath created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Abstract Florals and Curiosity Shop, Mini Layering Stencils from Set 59, the Simon Says Abstract Florals dies and Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Archives Collage Paper from the new 2024 collection.

Macarena matched a perfect couple by stamping Tim Holtz The Inspector and Elizabeth Craft Designs Travel From The Past faces. She heat embossed them with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder Fine Detail. For the background she added plaid pattern from Tim Holtz Mr. Rabbit and huge digits from Paint By Number set.

Maura created an art journal spread about her son and grandpup on an adventure. She used Paper Artsy Tracy Scott stamps to add marks, the Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background for interest, and one of her favorite color inks – Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Citrine ink.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray Set Of 12 Ranger on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Lovebirds Thinlits Dies and  Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Curiosity.

Zoey used Distress Mica Stain to add color to her backgroud. She also used Distress Snowfall Texture through the Crossed layering stencil – Ideaology embellishment were just perfect to decorate this spread!
