 <\/p>\n

Carol\u00a0<\/a>used a selection of\u00a0Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>\u00a0and a Simon’s Exclusive Shine On Stamp Set <\/a>to create the background and then used the stars from a new ‘You’re A Star’ Die <\/a>and a swirl from a Scribbles and Splat<\/a> die set to create a whole universe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the toasty temperatures, Andrea<\/a> had her mind on winter this week with a star-topped Christmas tree tag. \u00a0She used Tim Holtz’s exclusive STAMPtember Stamp Set<\/a> along with his Ruler Ribbon<\/a> and Sizzix Framelits Tag Collection dies.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a card this week, using mainly Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember products, such as the and Picture Book Panda<\/a>\u00a0die and Christmas Sweater Background stamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara <\/a>has created a Home Decor for Halloween by using Tim Holtz Idea-ology HALLOWEEN BASEBOARDS Papers<\/a>, Mini Paper Stash HALLOWEEN Papers<\/a>, \u00a0Ideaology FRINGE<\/a> and \u00a0Sizzix LAYERED JACK-O-LANTERN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> created a card using the Hero Arts Stars Pattern<\/a> and Crafter’s Workshop Art Is<\/a> to create her galaxy background. The silver dimensional stars are from the Tim Holtz Dimensional Stars<\/a> die painted with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0was inspired by the lyrics of a Coldplay song which she has written in the stars using the Deco Alpha die<\/a>\u00a0and Alphanumeric Thin die<\/a>. She used an Etcetera tag<\/a>\u00a0as the base for her scene before adding the\u00a0Tim Holtz Trick Or Treat<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0surrounding the figures with glittered Stacked Stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> used Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Crescent Moon and Stars<\/a> BigZ die, Haunted House<\/a>, Village Graveyard<\/a> and Vintage Spirits<\/a> Thinlits to create a spooky starry night scene on her Halloween Art Journal Page<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols <\/a>decorated a page in her Art Journal<\/a> using Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>, a Mosaic Stars Stencil\u00a0,<\/a>\u00a0Stacked Stars Die Cuts<\/a> and various ink sprays<\/a> to create a whole galaxy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena <\/a>was\u00a0inspired by the amazing totally solar eclipse which was in August and she made a starry card using Sizzix Dimensional Stars<\/a>.\u00a0For the planets she used leftovers from SSS Ring Frame<\/a> die and she applies some SSS Stacked Stars<\/a> on the sky. The background is all the Distress Oxide<\/a> coloring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> was inspired by a song to create her home decor piece with Alcohol Inks<\/a>, Dina Wakley’s Moon Faces stencil<\/a>, Yupo paper<\/a>, and Cosmic Shimmer Harvest Moon Gilding Flakes.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a Halloween mixed media canvas and used\u00a0Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Moon and Stars<\/a>\u00a0and Idea-Ology Halloween Ephemera Pack<\/a>\u00a0to decorate it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra <\/a>went for a outerspace kind of theme with her card using Distress Oxides<\/a> for the background along with the Stars stencil<\/a> with Pure Platinum Nuvo Mouse<\/a> and the Seth Apter Triplex die<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a> used The Crafter’s Workshop stencil<\/a> to add different textures in the background that she colored using Distress ink<\/a> and gold watercolor.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
