It\u2019s Debbie’s l<\/a>ast week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debbie<\/a> loves all of the nostalgic memories associated with Christmas and sleds. She chose Tim Holtz\u2019s Vintage Sled die <\/a>as the focal point for her 3D collage project and used Christmas Ephemera<\/a>, she distressed the edges with Walnut Distress Ink<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a Christmas card using Julie Hickey Designs‘ Essentially Christmas 3<\/a> stamp set. She added a sentiment using Tim Holtz’s Seasonal Scribbles<\/a> stamp set and added some dimensional foliage to her wreath using Memory Box’s Layered Stars<\/a> dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin <\/a>made a winter wonderland Christmas card using Simon Says Stamp Forest Scenery stamp set<\/a>. The background was painted with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl watercolors<\/a> and the sentiment from STAMPtember\u00ae Simon Says Stamp Elegantly Modern Christmas<\/a> was white embossed on vellum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> made two tags with Tim Holtz stamps and dies and one of her favorite color palettes for Christmas! She used Stampers Anonymous Festive Print CMS474<\/a>, Moon Mask Stencil<\/a> and Layering Stencil Twinkle<\/a>. For the tree, she used Sizzix Trim a Tree Colorize Thinlits Dies<\/a>. The colors are all from the Ranger Distress family: Cracked Pistachio Spray Stain<\/a>, Frosty Mint<\/a>, Merry Mint<\/a>, and Cocktail Party Mica Stains<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a rainbow tree lot using the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Trim a Tree<\/a> dies. She used the Stampers Anonymous Winter Woodlands<\/a> stamps to create her background and embossed her background panels with Pumice Stone<\/a> Distress Embossing Glaze. She colored her trees using Distress Mica Stains<\/a> and placed them on a Medium Etcetera Tag<\/a> and created a ground using Snowfall<\/a> Grit Paste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> is celebrating the happiest season of them all and used a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Panel<\/a> as the base for her Christmas scene. She used Christmas idea-ology products, including the Backdrop papers<\/a>, a paper doll<\/a> and some Christmas Ephemera<\/a> and combined these with the Sizzix\/Tim Holtz Vintage Sled<\/a> and Holiday Brushstrokes 3<\/a> dies. She completed the project with a dusting of Mica Flakes<\/a> for added sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> is cracking on with her Christmas makes and has decorated gift bags using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Pine Branches 3d Texture Fade<\/a>, Vintage Sled<\/a>, Santa Greetings Colorize<\/a> and Scribbly Snowflakes<\/a> Thinlits and Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Christmas Cartoons<\/a> for the speech bubble sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> keep using her favorite purple color even on a Christmas card. She built the tree with Tim Holtz Sizzix Artsy Leaves<\/a> dies and embellished it with Christmas balls made with Tim Holtz Sizzix Layered dots <\/a>die. For both she used Tim Holtz Ranger Mica Distress Stains<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> made a simple snowman tag using Tim Holtz’s Half Tone Christmas<\/a> and Bold Tidings 1 <\/a>stamp sets. I added a little sparkle and shine with Simon Says Stamp’s Clear Detail Embossing Powde<\/a>r and Crafter’s Companion Violet Studios Glitter Gel Pens.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2023 Christmas Backdrops<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2023 Christmas Layer Frames<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2023 Christmas Confections<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used the wonderful Tim Holtz Sizzix Trim a Tree die <\/a>as main focal point of her tag. The background is made with Distress Oxide Ink<\/a> + Distress Mica Stain<\/a> and she also used Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set 57<\/a>.
The sentiment is from the Stickers Christmas Book.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
