It is Stacy’s <\/a>last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your fabulous creations over the past few weeks. It has been a pleasure to have you along with us!<\/p>\n

Stacy<\/a>was inspired by her grandmother’s love of both gardening and sewing. “In My Garden” was the perfect backdrop to decorate a Vignette Tray<\/a> combining all of those loves,her grandmother, flowers and sewing. She used a Tim Holtz Illustrated Garden Stamp Set<\/a>, an Ornate Trims Stamp Set<\/a>\u00a0along with many of the Distress Oxide Inks and products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>made a simple card using some fabulous products from 49 and Market.\u00a0<\/a><\/span>She\u00a0started by cutting a piece of collaged paper that she had \u00a0made using Washi tape strips and paint with Kaisercraft’s Lattice Die.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0She then used a Tim Holtz Flower Jar Die Set<\/a> and added one of the flowers to the front of her card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> needed a wedding card this week and made a white and cream textured card. Prima Isle Marina St Tropez flowers<\/a>, together with leaves die cut with the Tim Holtz Garden Greens set<\/a>, were placed around the heart shaker-box to frame it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> chose to create an Etcetera Tag size Small.<\/a> She used Tim Holtz Sizzix Funky Floral 1<\/a>, Tim Holtz stampers Anonymous Ornate Trims<\/a>, Idea-ology\u00a0 \u00a0Botanical Layers paperie<\/a> and Tim Holtz Mini Stencil set 6.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> created a wall hanging using the Tim Holtz Glorious Bouquet<\/a> stamp and colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers<\/a>. She used the Tim Holtz Bricked Stencil<\/a> to create a garden wall for the background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0is thinking ahead to the warmer days of spring and with this in mind, she created a home decor panel using some of the fabulous new Tim Holtz idea-ology products. On the background of her panel she used Botanical Collage Paper<\/a> before adding layers which included Worn Wallpaper<\/a>, a Collage Frame<\/a> and one of the new characters in the Paper Dolls<\/a> set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> decorated a Etcetera Mini Tag<\/a> with a collage of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Memoranda Paper<\/a> and Sizzix Funky Floral 1 Thinlits<\/a> flowers inspired by signs in her garden that Spring is just around the corner<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols<\/a> recently picked up a Dina Wakley Media Journal<\/a> and couldn’t wait to dive right in and make a start with filling in the pages! She loves the bright colours of spring and summer and after spritzing and splattering the background with Tim Holtz Distress<\/a> and Dyan Reaveley’s<\/a> Ink Sprays she used the new Paper Artsy Jofy 61<\/a> stamp set combined with Zig Brush Pens<\/a> to add a vibrant modern and funky design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena <\/a>as a fan of Spring, made herself a home decor with Tim Holtz Etcetera Small Tag<\/a> colored with Paper Artsy Infusions<\/a> as her base. Her garden is full of Tim Holtz Sizzix Wildflowers<\/a>\u00a0colored with Distress Oxides<\/a> and covered with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Powder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura’s<\/a> garden in winter is her art, so she headed to her Dina Wakley Media Journal<\/a> along with the Stampendous Blossoming Woman stamps by Laurel Burch<\/a> and the Bo Bunny Mandala Garden stencils<\/a> to create her page. Jane Davenport’s Mermaid Markers<\/a> and Paint Over Pens<\/a> add splashes of color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was looking forward to spring and created a mixed media garden tag with a bird using Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Caged Bird<\/a>\u00a0and decorated with some beautiful flowers using Idea-Ology Botanical Paperie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> loves making botanical themed projects, this one is no exception. She started out by applying lots of washi tape<\/a> and used Infusions <\/a>and Distress Oxide<\/a> to add some color and then used Tim Holtz Wildflowers<\/a> and Garden Greens<\/a> Thinlit Dies to finish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a> used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Botanical Layers Paperie<\/a>\u00a0, Tim Holtz Sizzix Die Tiny Houses<\/a>\u00a0and a couple of Distress Paint<\/a> to create this little house of dreams!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
