 <\/p>\n

Bonnie <\/a>used a We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to make the bags and then used Tim\u00a0<\/span>Holtz Stitched Ovals Dies<\/a> to create the eggs. She used a Tim Holtz \u00a0Mini Bunny and Bow Set<\/a> and\u00a0<\/span>decorated with Distress Oxide inks<\/a>, \u00a0Fabulous Flourishes \u00a0<\/a><\/span>and \u00a0finished with ‘Enjoy’ from a Traveler Words Die\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> ran with the bunny inspiration this week and made two hippy-hoppy tags.\u00a0 She used some exciting new products: Dina Wakley Peacock<\/a> and Eggplant<\/a> paints and Tim Holtz’s Cutout Lower<\/a> cling stamps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> was inspired to make a golden yellow Easter tag celebrating spring. The background was done with Distress Oxides<\/a> and the beautiful flower stamps come from Tim Holtz’s Flower Garden<\/a> and Mini Bouquet<\/a> sets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> used\u00a0Tim Holtz Sizzix Gift Card Bag<\/a>\u00a0 to create a little collection for her Easter wishes! She made these little bags with\u00a0Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Etcetera Paperie<\/a>,\u00a0Tim Holtz Sizzix Springtime Thinlits and Embossing Folder<\/a>\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous\u00a0 Ornate Trims.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> created an Easter themed art journal page in her Dylusions 5×8 Art Journal<\/a>. The background was created using Paper Artsy’s\u00a0A Bit Jaded<\/a> and Golden Sands<\/a> Infusions pigments and the flowers are from the Paper Artsy Jofy 32<\/a>, 33<\/a>, and 45<\/a> stamp sets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma’s<\/a> vintage style\u00a0burlap panel<\/a>\u00a0is full of the joys of spring! She created dimensional flowers using the Funky Florals 3 die set<\/a>\u00a0and added them to a Baseboard Frame<\/a> layered over the top of Worn Wallpaper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> was inspired by thoughts of Spring arriving in her garden to create an art journal page in her Dylusions Creative Journal<\/a> using Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray<\/a>, Idea-ology Botanical Collage Paper<\/a> and a selection of Idea-ology Block Upper<\/a>, Block Lower<\/a> and Cut Out Lower<\/a> Cling Foam Stamps<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols<\/a> made an Easter card using the little bunny and the colours of the flowers and eggs as her inspiration. She created a background using Yupo Translucent Paper<\/a> and Alcohol Inks<\/a> and used a Simon’s Exclusive Picture Book Bunny<\/a> and Tim Holtz Wildflower Dies<\/a> to create the meadow scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena<\/a> got inspired by the color of the eggs and the cute bunny picture. Her background is a Simon Says Stamp Grid Background<\/a> stamp embossed in white and colored with Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>. The flowers are made with CAS-ual Fridays 4 Petals set<\/a> die and attached in a cool way to the base.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> made an Easter card, inspired by the bunny and beautiful spring colors, using Simon Says Stamp’s Bunny Hugs die<\/a>, Some Bunny<\/a> and Showers and Flowers<\/a> stamp sets, along with Pink and Main’s Beach Babe<\/a> papers and 28 Lilac Lane Rainbow Unicorn<\/a> shaker mix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag decorated with the beautiful Prima Cherry Blossom Flowers<\/a> and embellished with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Butterflies Adornments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra <\/a>went crazy with all kinds of butterflies from very small of the Butterfly Frenzy<\/a> die and very big with the Layered Butterfly<\/a>. With Infusions <\/a>and Distress Oxide<\/a> she gave them soft Spring like colors.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a> used the photo of the dip dye egg to re-create this Easter card, she also used distress ink pads<\/a> as watercolors and Tonic Radiant Gold Nuvo Gilding Flakes<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
