Wanda is taking a vacation in the woods.  She made this card using Sizzix Seth Apter Word Wafers 1 and Tim Holtz Forest Shadows Thinlits Die Sets. She also used a  Tim Holtz Tree Line Cling Stamp Set along with Distress Embossing Glazes, Spray Stains, Inks, and Foundry Wax.

Andrea likes collecting postcards of where she’s been on vacation, so that got her thinking about postage stamps. She made some stamps of her own using Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Postage Stamp Strips Dies, washi tape (AALL & Create’s Fly Away and Sugar Roll), stamps (Tim Holtz’s Remnants and Media Marks 1) and patterned paper (Amy Tangerine’s Paper Play and 49th and Market’s Toddler Time).

Anna-Karin made a tag in memory of last year’s vacation. She used various stamp sets by Tim Holtz, such as Rockstar, Warehouse District, Odds & Ends. The gems are Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gunmetal Gems.

Barbara made her June Memory Dex using All&create Spring Sprouts Dies and Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sea Life CMS304. She used super summery colors with a Ranger Ink Distress Oxide Ink Pad and Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad Latte.

Cheiron created a card using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Travel Blueprints stamps. She stamped the image onto some matte artist film using StazOn ink and then painted the back of the image with Distress Paints. She adhered the image to Ranger Black Matte Cardstock, then placed it on a panel that had been embossed with the Vault Airmail folder.

Macarena got back to her childhood memories when she spent each vacations in an old caravan with her parents. This one you can find in the 49 and Market Rust and Revs 2.0 Laser Cut Outs. She placed it in a window made with Simon Says Stamp Squovals dies. For the frame she used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Kraft Stock Stack Cool Paper and stamped it with Tim Holtz Clear Stamps and Stencil Mini Media Marks Dotted and Stitched.

Maura created a hybrid art journal/scrapbook spread of her ocean cruise. She used a Simon Says Stamp Pepita Background Stamp, Seth Apter/Stencil Girl’s XZig Zag stencil, and Tracy Evans Numerical Cats stamps (because every ship has a cat, right?) in Stamperia’s 6×6 Watercolor Art Journal.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Sea Land 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Waffle Flower Beach Tote Dies and Echo Park Yankee Doodle 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

Zoey used Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Industrial and Clockwork for her background. She also used a bunch of Distress ink in brown shade. To decorate her tag she used Air Traveler stamp and black paste through Traveler stencil for her words.

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!

Wanda created a card using Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains, Oxide Sprays, and Distress Spritz combined with Translucent Texture Paste for her background. She used Creative Worship Vintage Ledger Page, Peaceful Botanicals and Vintage Nature Elements stamps and dies, and a Floating Circles Stencil.  She finished with a strip of Tim Holtz Alchemy Fabric and Simon Says Stamp Summer Blooms Embellishment Mix. 

Andrea made a journal spread in her Art by Marlene Creative Journal. She got lots of splattery goodness from Distress Oxide Sprays and added spots and dots using Seth Apter’s EM124 stamp. She added some Tim Holtz Red Collage Eclectic Elements fabric and patterned paper from 49th and Market’s Toddler Time collection.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page with pastel, summery colors. The Simon Says Stamp Stylized Butterfly was misted with Ranger Saltwater Taffy and Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz, as well as Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stain. Some spritzing was done on the mixed media background too.

Barbara created the backgrounds of her tags with various Ranger Ink Distress Spray Stain in her favorite shades. She used some dies from the Sizzix Seth Apter collection for the focal point and the Splatters stencil in the mini version (set 3) from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.

Cheiron created a card using the Tim Holtz Large A5 Entangled Embossing Folder. She covered the raised areas with Tumbled Glass Distress Embossing Glaze then sprayed with Distress Spray Stains and topped with tons of Distress Spritz for sparkle and shine. She created her sentiment using the letters from the Letterboard Side Order dies.

Kath spritzed Tim Holtz Distress Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo and Lucky Clover Spray Stains through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Flourish Mini Layering Stencil from Set 10 to create backgrounds, applied Distress Black Texture Paste through the Wildflower Mini Layering Stencil from the same set and added lots of splatter using Dina Wakley White and Black Gloss Sprays and Tim Holtz Distress Sugary Gumdrop Mica Stain.

Lols  made a card using a My Favorite Things Frosty Beer Mug Die Set for the main focus. For the background she used Tim Holtz Splatters, Halftone and a Mini Set 5 Stencil Set along with Distress Inks, she then splattered with Rusty Hinge Distress Spritz.

Macarena went totally wild with building the background with Tim Holtz Distress Mica Stain Ranger several colors. She went even further and kept stamping in different colors Tim Holtz The Professor, Glitch 2 and Entomology stamps all over.

Maura created a mushroom themed canvas using Simple Stories Vintage Woodlands papers and stamps. She collaged the papers onto Stamperia’s Hidden Grove Mushroom Crafty Shapes, and added lots of spritz and splatter with mediums like Tim Holtz Harvest Moon Mica Stain.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Sea Land 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology INDUSTRIAL GEARS Embellishments and  Tim Holtz idea-ology PAPER DOLLS PORTRAiTS.

Zoey used her favorite Distress Oxide Spray Ink to create her background – she then paired the colors with her Distress Spritz. To decorate she used Theories Chips and Metallic Droplets and Mummy Cloth for her wire flowers

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!
