Laura<\/a> is totally in love with the Hello Bluebird<\/a> Skating Party Stamp.
She created the background by hand drawing with an Emboss It Pen<\/a> and White Embossing Powder<\/a> and grounded the image using a Stampendous Embossing Powder Kit <\/a>and Nuvo Gold Embossing Powder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a fold-over Christmas card using Simon Says Stamps’ Slimline Nested Rectangles<\/a> dies and Mama Elephant’s Retro Holiday Labels<\/a> stamp set. A tree in the background made from Reverse Confetti’s Triangle Trees<\/a> die rounds out this festive card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> created a winter house easel card this week, with lots of snow and glitter. She used the pretty Poppy Stamps Winter House Pop Up Easel set <\/a>to create the card, which folds flat. The house was stamped with the SSS Wood Planks Background stamp<\/a> and the trees are die cut with Poppy Stamps Evergreen Trio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> dedicated the two cards she made for this challenge to Santa Claus. She had a lot of fun with the new Distress Color Rustic Wilderness<\/a>. She used Tim Holtz Sizzix Papercut Christmas 1 Coloriz<\/a>e, Tim Holtz Vintage Holidays<\/a>, Tim Holtz Stencil Poinsettia Duo<\/a>, Tim Holtz Stencil Tree Lot<\/a> and Ranger Ink Embossing Glaze Fired Brick.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a fun card for a friend who loves snowmen using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Papercut Christmas 2<\/a> and Thin Ice<\/a> dies. She put them onto an inky background stamped with the Tiny Text Christmas <\/a>stamps. She finished her card with some stars cut from the Falling Stars <\/a>die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> decided to have some Christmas fun with Tim Holtz’s Snarky Cats by Stampers Anonymous<\/a> and she created a double layered mini framed panel<\/a>. To create an icy cold look to the piece, she added an Icicle<\/a> covered in Rock Candy Dry Glitter<\/a>, some frosted Sizzix Large Festive foliag<\/a>e and Mica Flakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> is getting ready for Christmas, decorating brown paper packages tied up with string, making matching cards and tags using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Christmastime 3<\/a>, Ironwork Layering Stencil<\/a>, Idea-ology Christmas Trim<\/a> and Label<\/a> Tapes and she couldn’t resist trying out Rustic Wilderness<\/a>, the new colour to join the Distress Family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a> just loves the chubby Santa in the Tim Holtz Christmas Snippets Ephemera Pack<\/a> so used him as for focus for her card. For the background she used an Advert Cling Stamp<\/a> and White Heat Embossed<\/a> the design before blending a selection of Brown Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>. She them sprinkled some Gold Embossing Powder<\/a> over the top to add some glamour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> got inspired by the shaker card Tim Holtz showed during the new color release<\/a> and made her version of the winter shaker scene. She used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Merry Moose<\/a> and Tree Line<\/a> dies. The shaker part was enclosed in one of the Idea-ology Halloween Baseboard Frame<\/a>. The golden writing in Polish means Merry Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> was inspired by this home decor panel by Tami B<\/a>. She used lots of Tim Holtz goodies to create her home decor bottle cap Christmas tree with the Idea-ology Christmas Flair<\/a>, Mini Christmas Paper Stash,<\/a> along with the Tim Holtz Christmas Words Adornments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media holiday tag using Tim Holtz Mini Paper Stash Christmas<\/a> on the background and decorated it with Sizzix Geo Christmas Thinlits Dies<\/a>, Festive Adornments<\/a> and Idea-Ology Ephemera Pack Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra<\/a> made a trio of Christmas gift tags using Tree Line<\/a> and Alpha Classic Lower<\/a> dies and Distress Inks Weathered Wood<\/a>, Speckled Egg<\/a>, Barn Door<\/a> and Fired Brick<\/a> as her color palette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Z<\/a>oey<\/a> used Tim Holtz Idea-ology CHRISTMAS SNIPPETS Ephemera<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology CHRISTMAS PAPER DOLLS <\/a>to decorate this tag. For the background she used Tim Holtz Layering Stencil GATHERINGS<\/a> and Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps 2020 FOREST FLOOR<\/a> over Tim Holtz Idea-ology PLAIN Collage Paper<\/a>.
