Laura<\/a> fell in love with the Tim Holtz Leaf Fragment Dies<\/a> at first sight! She cut the leaf from a background created using a Gel Press<\/a> after having modeled it, I made it the protagonist of this card  on an Alcohol Ink <\/a>background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a fat little book of blessings using Waffle Flower’s A7 Disc Bound die set<\/a> and Red Binding Discs<\/a>. She also used Dina Wakley’s I Am<\/a> stamp set and Sweet ‘N Sassy’s So Grateful<\/a> stamp set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made an art journal page featuring Tim Holtz Feathered Friends<\/a> in shades of yellow and orange. The leaf pattern was made with the Simon Says Stamp Tumbling Leaves stencil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> chose one of her favorite dies, Skeleton leaves by Tim Holtz Sizzix<\/a>, to create a card inspired by Thanksgiving day. She used Ranger Distress Spray Stain<\/a> for the background, the sentiment is from the stamp set Bold Sayings CMS 433<\/a> by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> used the Simon Says Stamp Lined Leaves<\/a> and XL Greetings 3<\/a> stamps to create her mini slimline card. She colored the leaves in a fun fall palette using Copic markers<\/a> and die cut them using the coordinating dies. She added a greeting from the XL 3 Greetings set. To finish her card, she added Black Soot<\/a> Distress paint with a Tim Holtz Distress Splatter Brush<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> used a Stampers Anonymous Size 8 Etcetera Tag<\/a> to create a make for Thanksgiving and used the Sizzix Oak Leaf 3D Impresslits Emboss & Cut Folder by Tim Holtz<\/a> to create a floor of leaves for her woodland scene. She completed the make by adding the woodpecker from the Cozy Winter Thinlits Die Set<\/a> and idea-ology Toadstools<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> has been busy making packs of thank you cards and envelopes to donate to one of her favourite local charities. She used the Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Mini Poinsettia 3D Embossing Folder<\/a>, coloured with Crackling Campfire<\/a> and Shabby Shutters<\/a> Distress Re-inkers, the script from Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Dearly Departed<\/a>, heat embossed with Simon Says Antique Gold Embossing Powder<\/a> and Simon Says Thanks Sentiment Strips<\/a>, coloured to match, for the sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> says Thank you on her watercolor card where she applied Prima Marketing Oriental Wall stencil<\/a> in a negative way. On the main panel she played with watercolor stamping of butterflies from Tim Holtz Specimen<\/a> stamp set. She adorned the card with some Sizzix Wildflowers dies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> is thankful for many things this year, especially family, friends and health, as well as a cup of pumpkin spice coffee now and then, which inspired her card. She used Impression Obsession’s Thankful Banner<\/a> and Pumpkin Spice Kitty<\/a> stamps, along with PhotoPlay Fall Plaid papers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a simple thank you card using the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Backdrops Volume 1<\/a>for the background and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Wildflower Steam Thinlits Die<\/a>. The sentiment was die cut using CZ Design Extra Large Thank You Wafer Dies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra<\/a> made a thank you card using one of the large stamps from the Specimen stamp set<\/a>. She used a Distress Oxide Spray and Spray Stain in the colors Speckled Egg<\/a> and Salvaged Patina<\/a>, along with Distress Oxide Walnut Stain<\/a> and Distress Ink Ground Espresso<\/a> for the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used Tim Holtz Sizzix ALPHANUMERIC STRETCH LOWER AND NUMBERS Thinlits Dies<\/a> to create the focal point on this tag. She also used Tim Holtz Idea-ology SOLOS PAPER DOLLS<\/a> to create a mask over the background made of Distress Inks Oxide<\/a> and Distress Spray Ink<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
