Estelle made a big birthday card using a Tim holtz Freshly Brewed Blueprint Stamp Set and a Dotted Line Layering Stencil. She used Distress Spray Stain and Distress Oxide Inks for the background and colored the coffee cups with Watercolor Pencils.

Andrea used tea bags to make her tags. She colored the tea bags with Paper Artsy Infusions Colored Stain and glued them to tags from AALL & Create’s Rainbow Reflections and Faded Memories ephemera packs. The numbers are from AALL & Create’s Numberama die set and the sentiments are from Tim Holtz’s THMM137 stamp/stencil set.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page this week. The pear stamp comes from Stamper’s Anonymous Classics #16 and the alphabet stamp used in the background comes from Tim Holtz School Desk. The page was done in Stamperia’s Happiness Mixed Media 4.5×8 in journal.

Emma‘s tiny tags and gift card envelope are a perfect gift idea for someone who loves coffee and she created this trio using dies from Tim Holtz and Sizzix, including Postale and Noteworthy. She combined these with the Vault Fresh Brewed Die and Texture Fade set to make the patterned cups which are arranged amongst florals and foliage cut using the Vault Floristry 2D Embossing Folder and Die Set.

Kath is a big Coffee Lover and can’t start her day without one. She created a card using Spellbinders Nichol Sphor Merry Mug Creations dies, cut from Simple Stories Vintage Flower Shoppe patterned paper included in the June 2025 card kit, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Bubble and Splatters Mini Layering Stencils from Sets 3 and 5 and used Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Small Talk Snarky Stickers for the sentiment.

Macarena was inspired by a forest walks so she used the Stamperia Forest 12×12 Paper to make this scene of a squirrel eating wild strawberries. She added a bit of color to the berries with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Festive Berries and a touch of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge to the squirrel.

Maura created two ATC’s since she could not make up her mind between coffee and tea. She used Simon Says Stamp’s Coffee Friends and Penny Black’s Brew-tea-ful stamp sets. She used Simon Says Stamp;s Pipits Background stamp, and added a fun twist with cats from Tracy Evans Numerical Cats stamps.

Meihsia was inspired to create a card using Simon Says Clear Stamps Old Fashioned and Simon Says Stamp Assorted Card Fronts 100lb on the background, and colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET C Markers.

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!

Estelle made a frame with a recycled canvas. She made the frame edges with a Stamperia Greek Borders Silicone Mold and Hot Glue. The scene was made with many Tim Holtz idea-ology Products, including a Paper Doll, Transparent Wings and Transparent Layers.

Andrea added wings to this wonderfully quirky image from Kate Crane’s KC006 stamp set. The tag is made from Gina K Designs’ Beautiful Bookmarks die set and the pops of plaid are courtesy of Doodlebug’s Party Plaid washi tape.

Anna-Karin made a Mother’s Day card with butterflies. She used Simon Says Stamp Mandala Blossoms for the butterflies. The shaped panels were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Petal Tipped Labels and the sentiments come from Simon Says Stamp Mother’s Day. They are all from the new You Are My Favorite Release.

Barbara made a bee-inspired tag. She chose the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Brush Hex stencil for the background and used it with Ranger Ink Distress Spritz Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade. The mini clipboard in the center is from the Sizzix Vault Noteworthy Thinlits Dies and the bee is from the Funky Insects Thinlits Dies.

Kath is looking forward to Summer, the garden bursting into bloom and the return of the busy Bumble Bees collecting pollen from dawn to dusk. She used Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Floristry Sidekick Side Order, Vault Edges Thinlits and Stampers Anonymous Entomology stamp set and Sizzix Entomology Framelits to create her card.

Macarena used this lovely huge butterfly from Tim Holtz Sizzix Perspective Buterfly die and layered it to give more dimension. She placed it on a contrasting black background Tim Holtz 5×7 Black Woodgrain Cardstock Ranger.

Maura created a mixed media tag in hues of blues using a Tim Holtz Medium Etcetera Tag, Tim Holtz Perspective Butterfly die, and layered marks and designs with stencils like Seth Apter’s Zig Zag stencil.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Shabby Rose 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology Organic Layers and Tim Holtz idea-ology Quote Chip Labels.

Zoey used Distress Spray Stain and DIstress Oxide Spray for her background. She added texture through the Script Stencil and used Papillon Stamp to add the butterflies!

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!
