Alison’s<\/a> ‘something beginning with S’ is a S<\/strong>pread in her altered book art journal.  She’s used one of the Tim Holtz Portraits<\/a> as the focal point, with plenty of other Idea-ology ephemera built into the collage around him… elements from the Pocket Cards<\/a>, Snippets Number Strips<\/a>, Design Tape Trims<\/a>, Snippets Ephemera Labels<\/a>, and the Memoir Ephemera Pack<\/a> are all layered over the Gesso<\/a> and Crackle Paste<\/a> in the book text background.  The butterfly is one of the new Transparent Things<\/a>. and Small Talk Stickers<\/a> provide the words.  Visit Words and Pictures to see lots more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> focused on “S” companies to make her tag-card: Spellbinders, Studio Light and Simon Says Stamp. She used Studio Light’s Moodling Tag die set<\/a> and their Script and Stitches stamp set<\/a>. She also used Spellbinders’ Sky View Pies die set<\/a> and Simon Says Stamps’ Circle Loops die set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> was inspired by S for ‘summer’ and ‘sea’ and created a calm seaside scene on a tag cut from Simon Says Stamp White Glossy cardstock<\/a>. The chair was die cut with Simon Says Stamp Adirondack Chair<\/a> and there is Tim Holtz Mica Flakes <\/a>glittering in the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> chose S as Snarky Cat<\/a>! She loves them, and they are perfect in every way! She made a couple of tags, one dark and one light using two of the new stamp sets by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous: Bubbles<\/a> and Noteworthy<\/a> for both of her tags. She used a lot of Distress Ink Sprays and Ink pads<\/a> to add color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a tag with “spray stains”, “splatters” and “stencils” this week. She sprayed her tag with a mixture of Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains, included the new Uncharted Mariner<\/a>. She combined it with the new Linked Squares<\/a> and Element Freight<\/a> stencils. To finish she added some Foundry Wax<\/a> Splatter and a Noteworthy<\/a> Sentiment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> created an Etcetera tag<\/a> all about “seeing” the world through the eyes of a child and used Distress Spray Stains and the Linked Circles Layering Stencil<\/a> by Tim Holtz to create a background. She completed the tag by placing a paper doll<\/a> over the top of a Memoir Ephemera piece<\/a> and added Quote Seal<\/a> and pointy finger, stamped using the Eccentric Stamp Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a card to welcome the arrival of Summer. She used Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Bubbles<\/a> with Distress Embossing Glazes<\/a> for the background, Floral Elements<\/a> coloured with Distress Oxide inks<\/a>, Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Bold Text Thinlits<\/a> and a sentiment from the Idea-ology Metallic Sticker Book.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a S-titched and S-tamped S-teampunk card using S-tampers Anonymous stamps: The Professor<\/a>, Specimen<\/a>, Grunged<\/a> and a lot of heat embossing using powders: Ranger Hammered Mixed Media<\/a>, Brutus Monroe Gilded sparkle<\/a>, Simon Says Stamp Clear<\/a> and White Fine Detail<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> was recently at the beach, so she chose Seashell for her letter S. She made a slimline card using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Nautical Blueprint set<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp’s Slimline Beautiful You<\/a>, along with Simon’s Pawsitively Saturated Ocean ink.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using the sentiments from Tim Holtz Idea-ology SMALL TALK Stickers<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS<\/a> beginning with S, and decorated it with Stamperia ATELIER DES ARTS Die Cuts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sandra<\/a> was inspired with her ‘Script’ stamps for her card like Faded Type<\/a>, Entomology<\/a> and Ledger Script<\/a>. But also the Digits stencil<\/a> although it isn’t technically script. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
