Karolina made a lovely tag to share today. She added a touch of Distress Ink to the background and used Finnabair’s Metallique Acrylic Paint, Impasto Paint and Acrylic Paint Sparks makes the project more three-dimensional and shimmery. She added interest using Texture Paste and Graphite Sand through a mask and added a sprinkling of Broken China Distress Glitter as the final touch, and here we are! The perfect tag is ready!

Andrea explored the quirky dark side of sparkly with her notebook cover featuring Stamping Bella’s Oddball Sparkle Fairy stamp.  She also used Dina Wakley’s Spaced Dot stencil and lots of Dylusions ink sprays.

Anna-Karin made a tropical beach tag, with not only a little sparkle, but a whole lot of sparkle. The palm tree was die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Tropical set, and covered with both Rock Candy Distress Glitter and Sprinkled Sugar Stickles.

Barbara has created a sparkling tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Seashell die, Ranger Perfect Pearl powder, Idea-ology Paper-Dolls and Stampendous Pearlized Mica Fragments.

Cheiron created a sparkly Distress Oxide Panel for the background of her card using Distress Oxides and Clear Rock Candy Glitter. She framed the card with a frame that was die cut with the Stacked Postage Thinlits dies and Paper Cut Bird Thinlits die. To finish it off, she added a few flowers from the Funky Floral 1 and Funky Floral 3 Sizzix Thinlits sets and a Quote Chip.

Emma created a special card for her parents, who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. She used Tim Holtz Vintage Platinum Distress Glitter Dust to cover Typography Findings and then added even more sparkle by sprinkling Tim Holtz Clear Rock Candy Glitter onto the stamens of the handmade flowers die cut using Tim Holtz’s Funky Floral 3 die set.

Kath created a Cocktails At Sunset Party card using Distress Oxide inks, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Cocktails Blueprints, Crazy Cats,Crazy Things and Handwritten Thoughts with Simon Says Summer Gold Sequins for added sparkle

Lols made a card using a Tropical Birds Cling Stamp Set.She coloured the image using Zig Brush Markers and for the background she simply spritzed with Tumbled Glass Spray . She randomly stamped some script and then used a Dot Fade Stencil and White Embossing Paste to add texture. While the paste was still wet she sprinkled Prisma Glitter generously all over the top, super sparkly in real life! She finished by machine stitching around the edges. 

Macarena made all her shimmer with Prima Opal Magic Violet – Gold paint with some touches of Prima Shine On Rub On Foil on the Simon Says Stamp Green Apple card stock embossed with the amazing Tim Holtz Sizzix Botanical 3D texture embossing folder.

Maura made a tag inspired by her trip to India last year. She used Gwen LaFleur’s Stencil Girl Boho Mandala Circle and Art Deco Peacock Feathers stencils, with Simon Says Stamp’s Henna Patterns stamp set and Dina Wakley Gilt heavy body acrylic paint.

Meihsia was inspired to make a mixed media card with a little sparkle of Ranger Snowflakes Tinsel Embossing Powder and Simon Says Stamp Pixie Dust Sequins.

Sandra made a card using the new Botanical 3D Texture Fade, and she added a little sparkle using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Zoey used Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enameling kit and Stampendous Aged Rose Embossing Enamel to add some sprarkle to this little altered wood coaster

Karolina is back with brand new summery fun canvas! It’s all thanks to beautiful Prima Marketing Havana and Santorini papers. Karolina is a fan of texture and layers, so the whole work is made using Aqua Tinsel Embossing Powder and WOW Santorini Glitter Sparkles. She used Clear Crackle Paste and Graphite Texture Paste and added some Art Stones to add even more texture. She used Tim Holtz Mixed Media and Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Circle Frames, to add color and shimmer she used Magical Pond Acrylic Paint  and Jade Impasto Paint. Doesn’t it look gorgeous!

Andrea made a travel folio to take with her on summer road trips.  She used Dylusions Pocket Inserts and decorated them with AALL & Create’s Border 26 stamps, Dina Wakley’s Text and Scribbles stamps and Flora and Fauna’s Textures 5 stamps.

Anna-Karin made a layout this week about summer memories from the sea. The background was done with Tim Holtz’s Grid Dot stencil and Distress Spray Stains and the ombre title letters were die cut with Tim’s Sizzix Deco Alpha die.

For Barbara summer fun means sea! She created an Etcetera tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Floral 3, Tim Holtz Sizzix Sand & Sea,  Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sea life, Hero Arts  Seahorse and a lot of Ranger products to add colors and textures.

Cheiron says its not summer without lemonade! Lemonade cocktails count too :) She made her card using Altenew Dotted Washi Tape, Main Squeeze stamps and dies. She layered the lemon stamps stamping them in Tim Holtz Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber.

Emma’s memories of summer are all about friendship and sunny days by the sea and with these happy thoughts in her mind, she created a canvas panel that has layer upon layer of Tim Holtz products including a Sizzix Seashell, Collector Ephemera pieces, a quote chip and some foliage which was die cut using the Funky Florals 2 die.

Kath took a trip down memory lane recalling fond memories of happy fun filled summer days spent with her sister and decorated a Mat Board panel using lots of Tim Holtz products, including Idea-ology Memoranda Paper Stash Stampers Anonymous Flower Garden, Sizzix 3D Impresslits Provincial and Funky Florals 1 Thinlits and Idea-ology Paper Dolls

Lols has had this Large Etcetera Tag on her shelf for quite a while and finally got around to decorating it!  She made this tag to hang on her gate to welcome guests to her cocktail/barbeques parties, a perfect way to have fun during the hot summer months! She used torn papers to create a slightly distressed/textured background, painted with Gesso and then inked and spritzed before stamping the text using a Tim Holtz Block Upper Alphabet Foam Stamp Set She used a Cocktails Blueprints Stamp Set and an Altenew Brushed Alpha Die Set

Macarena always tries to visit new places during her summer vacation so she made this travel tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Globe die colored with Distress Oxide Inks and crackled with Distress Crackle Paint Rock Candy. The Tim Holtz Sizzix Traveler Words were cut out from Simon Says Stamp Green Apple cardstock.

Maura  made some art journal pages to share how much she loves going to the beach in the summer. She used the Simon Says Stamp July 2018 Card Kit, along with Simon’s Large Moroccan stencil, AAll and Create Stencil 28, and The Crafters Workshop Mini Tropical Elements stencil.

Meihsia was inspired to make a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamp Carved Instruments and added the sentiment with Idea-Ology Snarky Small Talk Stickers.

Sandra had a fun with making this tropical card, using the Flamingo die out of the SSS July Card Kit and  also the SSS Reverse Polka Dot Background stamp along with the Heidi Swapp Pineapple Crush stamp set.

Zoey had fun playing with a bunch of Distress Crayon and Darkroom Door Texture Stamp to decorate this TAG to remember a fun trip with her bestfriends!

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!
