Anita<\/a> used Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Tile Etched Dies<\/a> and acrylics for her tag, with My Favorite Things City Block Background<\/a> cling stamp, Memento Tuxedo Black<\/a> dye ink, and Tim Holtz Black Soot<\/a> distress ink for the background. For the quote, she used Lawn Fawn Alphabet<\/a> clear stamps, and stamps from the My Favorite Things Well Hello<\/a> clear stamp set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a folio using two die sets from Papertrey Ink: Go To Gift Card Holder Book<\/a> and Go To Gift Card Holder Book Pockets<\/a>. She also used Studio Light’s Writing Background Elements<\/a> die set and Simon Says Stamp’s Fine Petal Leaf Branches<\/a> die set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin <\/a>made an autumn tag and used Tim Holtz Bubbling die<\/a> to stamp the background. The sentiment was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Matte Gold<\/a> and Island Blue Cardstock<\/a> using the You Shine die<\/a>. The bright flowers were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Real Leaves<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a couple of tags with a lot of Die Cuts by Tim Holtz Idea-ology: Paper Dolls<\/a>, Halloween Ephemera pack<\/a>, Halloween Layers<\/a>, Halloween Transparencies<\/a>. For both backgrounds, she used Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Exquisite<\/a> stamp set and Ranger Distress Pencils<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Modern Floristry dies<\/a> over a background she created with the new Distress Watercolor Pencils<\/a>. She also used the pencils and a Detailer Waterbrus<\/a>h to highlight and shade her die cuts and finished the card with a sentiment from the Stampers Anonymous Noteworthy<\/a> set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> used one of her all time favourite die sets, Tim Holtz’s\/Sizzix Funky Wreath<\/a>, combined with the Halloween Vault Series 2021<\/a> to create a fun tag for Halloween. She layered the die cuts onto a background of Black Woodgrain Card<\/a>, and added Translucent Grit Paste<\/a> through the Thorned Mini<\/a> <\/a>Layering Stencil<\/a> which she embossed with gold embossing powder<\/a> to create an enamelled effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a card featuring two cats out on the prowl, looking for love perhaps, by the light of the moon using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Mischievous<\/a> and bats from Gate Keeper<\/a> Thinlits. She also used Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask Stencils<\/a>, branch image from Mr Bones<\/a>, sentiment from The Scarecrow <\/a>and script stamp from Entomology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a>made a card using Tim Holtz Tag<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp Groovy Happy Birthday Dies<\/a>. For the background she used a selection of Distress Oxide Inks<\/a>, splattered with water and then she white heat embossed the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Candles<\/a>. The American Crafts ‘Sweet Rush’ background paper<\/a>, and the Groovy Happy Birthday Dies<\/a> are in the September ‘Let’s Celebrate’ Card Kit<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a very light and delicate card using Mama Elephant Framed Tags Doily Lace<\/a> die for the frame and inside she put and stitched down a pair of butterflies from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Butterfly Bigz<\/a> die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> made a Halloween scene in her art journal. She used Tim Holtz’s Mischievous die set<\/a>, the Tim Holtz Moon Masks<\/a>, and Simon Says Stamp’s Fanfare stencil.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media holiday tag using Paper Rose WINTER STROLL 12×12 Paper Pad<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with die cut embellishments using CZ Design Stamps and Dies ORNAMENT OPTIONS<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology CHRISTMAS Ephemera Pack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
