Sandra<\/a> made a beautiful Easter gift box that can be filled with sweets or small presents. She used a Tim Holtz Distress Damask Cling Stamp Set<\/a> for the background and used a  Bloom Colorize Die Set <\/a>for the decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a fun bunny tag to go with a bag of candy carrots for a friend using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Carrot Bunny<\/a> and the Intertwined<\/a> 3D Texture Fade. She added some Opaque Grit Paste<\/a> to her tag and finished it with an Idea-ology Sentiments<\/a> Label Sticker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> is feeling that spring is in the air and she made a wallhanging for Easter. She created a floral background, stamped using the Stampers Anonymous Vine & Roses stamp set<\/a> before adding Sizzix Mr Rabbit Bigz die by Tim Holtz<\/a>, surrounded by Funky Nature<\/a> foliage and a Funky Toadstool<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lols <\/a> made an Easter wall hanging using a Tim Holtz Mini Etcetera Tag<\/a>. For the background she used a few Layering Stencils<\/a> and Distress Inks<\/a> and then added an Oliver Colorize <\/a>bunny and some Funky Trees<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a bright Spring card using the non-spring Tim Holtz Dearly Departed<\/a> stamp set and the Tattered Butterfly Bigz<\/a> die. She used Pumice stone Oxide Spray<\/a> for the background and butterflies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> has been hearing new bird calls as they return once again, a sure sign of spring! She made a card using Simon Says Stamp’s Spring Bird set<\/a>, Daniel Smith Phthalo Turquoise watercolor<\/a>, and Tim Holtz Cracked Pistachio Distress Glaze.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Paper House of Rose<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Typewriter 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder<\/a> and Prima Marketing Friends Always My Sweet Flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra<\/a> had fun creating a butterfly card using the Brickwork 3D embossing folder<\/a> and make it all grungy against the soft pastel colors in Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade<\/a>, Spun Sugar<\/a>, Cracked Pistachio<\/a> and Speckled Egg<\/a> for the Perspective Butterfly stamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used a bunch of Distress Paint<\/a> to add color to a Distress Mixed Media Heavy Cardstock<\/a>. She also used Tim Holtz Layering stencil<\/a> to add texture and Tim Holtz Collage Paper <\/a>to add some interest to the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
