This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Stacy Hutchinson, aka Tattered Nest Designs<\/a> into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited Stacy’s blog then you are in for a real treat! Please pop by to say Hi!<\/p>\n

Stacy<\/span><\/a> was inspired by one of her favorite movies ‘Moulin Rouge’.\u00a0She used one of the new Tim Holtz \u00a0<\/span><\/span>Stampers Anonymous Small Etcetera Tags<\/span><\/a>\u00a0along with a couple of Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous newly released stamp sets,\u00a0Glorious Bouquet,\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Ornate Trimmings<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0Botanical & Batik.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> made some love-themed matchbooks using Tim Holtz’s Matchbook<\/a> Set dies, Carabelle Studio’s Frise Nuage<\/a> stamp and Carabelle Studio’s\u00a0Ronds<\/a> Art Printing Texture Plates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> started out with a quote about love and ended up with an art journal page. She used Carabelle Studio’s Dans Les Champs<\/a> and Herbier 2<\/a> stamp sets and worked in her brand new Jane Davenport Mixed Media Canvas Cover Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> has created a mixed media card themed Valentine’s day! She used\u00a0Carabelle Studio GRANDS CERCLES Embossing Folder<\/a>, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Crayons<\/a> and Idea ology\u00a0Tim Holtz Idea-ology FOUND RELATIVES Portraits.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> created a card featuring Carabelle Studio’s Flowers<\/a> stamp. The simple mixed media background\u00a0 was created using Paper Artsy Infusions<\/a> pigment powders and the Tim Holtz Papillon<\/a> stamp set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0created a panel full of love and used Carabelle Studio’s Constellation Stencil<\/a> to add a textured background to her project before using Tim Holtz’s Industrial<\/a> and Heartfelt<\/a> dies to create the layers for her focal point of a Paper Doll<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> decorated an Idea-ology Mini Mason Jar<\/a> with Carabelle Studio Nichoirs Cling Stamp<\/a>, Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Sidekick Valentine Side-Order<\/a> and Festive Greens<\/a> Thinlits and filled it with Love Hearts for a sweet Valentine Treat<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols <\/a>used a 3 Oiseaux Cling Stamp<\/a> to make a Valentines Card. For the background she masked a flower from a Paper Artsy Zinsky Art Set\u00a0 before smooshing \u00a0Distress Oxide Inks.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0She used a Copic Multiliner<\/a> to doodle some stitches around the edges and added a strip of ‘grass’ across the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena <\/a>made a love card using Carabelle Studio Envolee de Coeurs <\/a>embossing folder colored with Candied Apple Distress Spray<\/a>. She also made a trick on Simon Says Stamp Good Reading Background<\/a> stamp with embossing the Distress Oxide Walnut Stain ink<\/a> with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder <\/a>to get brown embossing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> made four ATC’s using Carabelle Studio’s Les Oiseaux<\/a>, Coeur Fleuri<\/a> heart stamp, and Ecriture a la Plume stencil<\/a>. These little birds are ready to fly some love to some special people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Carabelle Studio Des Ronds Cling Stamp<\/a>\u00a0for the background pattern and Simon Says Stamp Cupids Heart Wafer Die<\/a>\u00a0for more texture on the tag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra’s <\/a>bridal card was made with a stamp she created with Foam <\/a>and the Carabelle 2 Flower stencil<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a>\u00a0used the beautiful <\/a>Carabelle Studio FRISE NUAGE edge cling stamp<\/a>\u00a0to add a funny frame to her cardboard vignette – she also had fun using Paper Artsy Infusions<\/a> and Ranger Distress Paint<\/a> to color it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
