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

Anne<\/a> has created a Christmas Day Vignette<\/a> using the fabulous new Tim Holtz Jolly St. Nick Die<\/a>, along with the Window Frame<\/a>, the Santa’s Helper Die Set<\/a> and lots of other Tim Holtz goodies including a Christmas tree with a set of Tim’s new Tiny Lights<\/a> inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> made a quirky Christmas tag using Flora and Fauna’s Snow Much Fun<\/a> stamp set. She used Simon Says Stamp’s Circle Sayings Holiday<\/a> and Scribble Flowers<\/a> stamp sets for the background and gave her tag a scalloped edge using Pink and Main’s Scallop Border dies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> wants to enjoy autumn for a while longer, but had fun making a Christmas card in cream and white, with a few touches of gold. She used the Simon Says Stamp Ho Ho Postage set<\/a>, and die cut an intricate border with Tim Holtz’s Crochet set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> is absolutely ready to create for Christmas!

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> is working on building up her stash of gift tags in the easiest way possible by using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Seasonal Scribble <\/a>Stamps. She stamped the images in Distress Oxides<\/a> onto Dina Wakley White Assorted Media Tags<\/a> and added some ribbons and trims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> got into the Christmas spirit by creating a home decor piece ready to display over the festive season. She used Tim Holtz’s Vignette Boxes<\/a> as a base and created the wonderland scene with the beautiful die cut Reindeer<\/a> and a Woodland Half Tree<\/a> covered in Mica Flakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created a Christmas Organiser\/Planner using Distress Oxide Spray Inks<\/a> from the latest release with Tim Holtz\/Stamper Anonymous Yuletide Gatherings<\/a>, Scenic Holiday<\/a> and Modern Christmas<\/a> stamp sets and Sparkle and Gingham Mini Layering Stencils<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a winter forest scene using trees from Tim Holtz Sizzix Merry Moose<\/a> die and the background and reindeer from Tim Holtz Sizzix Winter Wonderland<\/a>. She also cut some tiny houses from Tim Holtz Sizzix Snowglobe<\/a> set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> made a couple of gift tags for Christmas, using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halftone Christmas set<\/a>, and Winter Sketchbook<\/a> stamps, along with Simon Says Stamp’s Pine Bough <\/a>and STAMPtember 2019 Holiday Foliage <\/a>stencils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Paper Stash Abandoned Paperie<\/a> on the background and decorated it with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Festive Sketch<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sandra<\/a>  isn’t quite ready for Christmas yet and made a crossover card, a mix between Christmas and Halloween, she started with making a nightly background using Distress Inks<\/a>, Distress Oxides<\/a> and Masking Paper<\/a>. And to give it also a Christmas feel she used the Tree Line<\/a> and Winter Wonderland<\/a> die sets.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zoey<\/a> used a bunch of Tim Holtz scraps from Tim Holtz Idea-ology COLLECTOR Ephemera Layers Paperie TH93553<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology LAYERS REMNANTS th93956<\/a>.
