Andrea’s<\/a> tag shows off the beautiful new STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> Deco Squares<\/a> stamp along with Inky antics’ Color Wheel<\/a> stamp. She also utilized Lawn Fawn’s Rolled Roses<\/a> die and the Nested Box Tags<\/a> die set from Maker’s Movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a wall-hanger with the STAMPtember\u00ae Sunflower Background stamp<\/a>, which is her son’s favorite stamp from the release. The flowers were colored with Prismacolor pencils<\/a> and she die cut the title with the Simon Says Stamp Chunky Happy die<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> was inspired by Halloween to use one of her favorite stamps from the set Tapestry CMS 414 by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous<\/a>. To complete her card she used Simon Says’ beautiful Engraved Feather<\/a> die from this year’s STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> collection. The background is made with various Ranger Alcohol Inks.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> used a sentiment from her new favorite STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> CZ Design Halloween People<\/a> paired with the new STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> Fractured Background<\/a> Cling inked with Distress Inks. She combined it with a Tim Holtz Halloween Paper Doll<\/a> and some Bitty Bats<\/a> and then added some Soft Black Pearls<\/a> from Lucy’s Cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> created a tag using one her favourite, and most used Simon Says Stamp stamp sets, Tiny Words Encouragement<\/a>. She layered a Tim Holtz Photo Booth image over an arrangement of Etched Laurel Leaves<\/a> inked and coloured with Crackling Campfire<\/a>, Speckled Egg<\/a> Distress Spray Stains and a touch of Crackling Campfire Embossing Glaze<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a card using 2 of her favourite Simon Says Stamp stamps, Beautiful Flowers<\/a> and Stronger Together<\/a>, watercoloured with Crackling Campfire<\/a> and Bundled Sage<\/a> Distress Oxides and used the Square Dance Stencil<\/a> to add monoprint interest on the background<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a>made an all occasion card using her favourite STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> Laugh In Flowers Stamp Set <\/a>designed by our super talented teamie Anna-Karin<\/a>! She also used a STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> Autumn Splendor Stencil<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a save the Earth card using the STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> items like Simon Says Stamp Fractured Background <\/a>and the Tender Leaves<\/a> die. She cut out the Tim Holtz Sizzix Globe<\/a> from the Tim Holtz Metallic Craft Stock<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> is going around in circles in her art journal. She used the  STAMPtember\u00ae<\/a> Simon Says Stamp Circle Pattern Stamp<\/a>, with Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift Ink<\/a>, Simon Says Stamp Be a Mermaid set<\/a>, and Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra’s<\/a> favourite Halloween stamp set is the Tim Holtz Mini Halloween #3 set<\/a>, it’s versatile and spooky! She used it to make a pirate hot air balloon, and she used the script stamp of this set in the background. She also used the Etched Laurel Leaves die<\/a> from the STAMPtember release<\/a> and created some texture with Grit-Paste<\/a> and added some metallic finish with the Bronze Age<\/a> and Firebird<\/a> wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
