Rox<\/a> used a Tim Holtz Roses Texture Fade 3D Embossing Folder<\/a>, embossed onto Black Cardstock<\/a>, layered onto a Gold Metallic<\/a> border and machine stitched around the edge. She blended Simon Hurley’s Gold Lunar Paste<\/a> over the raised surfaces and splattered with Distress Mica Stain<\/a>, she then added a sticker sentiment to finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> used stars in her background and a sparkle sentiment, courtesy of Vicki Boutin’s Warm Wishes<\/a> patterned paper. She cut out the tag shape using Simon’s Tag Adornments<\/a> die set and added some lovely stripes and florals from Simple Stories’ Life in Bloom<\/a> paper pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a sparkly winter tag. The trees were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Snow Laden Trees<\/a> from homemade glitter paper and paper painted with shimmery watercolors. She used Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl Colors<\/a> and Opal Colors<\/a> to paint both the trees and the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a tag grunge\/vintage style. She used the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Dies Scribbly Butterfly<\/a>, Funky Floral Wreath<\/a> and Specimen. In the background she chose two Stampers Anonymous stencils: Rosette ( mini version set 30) and Fractured. Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Texture Paste Sparkle Ranger and Idea-ology Kraft Stock Sparkle Classic is the way Barbara makes shine her projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> used some new Simon Says Stamp Be Mine Glitter Cardstock to create her sparkle and shine. She cut the CZ Design Champagne Flute<\/a> and Little Banners<\/a> dies to create a festive Valentine card. She finished the card by adding some tiny glittery hearts cut from the Mini Hearts Party<\/a> dies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> used a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Facade<\/a> as the base for her vintage style project, inspired by the Tim Holtz idea-ology quote chip, “Shine Like The Stars”<\/a>. She used Tim Holtz\/Sizzix dies including the Falling Stars Thinlits Die Set<\/a> to create a background, before adding dimensional gold stars using dies from the Rosette Vault Die Set<\/a> and the Holiday Vault 2021<\/a> set that cascade around the Photomatic<\/a> image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a gift box and matching card using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Vault Pillow + Bag<\/a> and Vault Funky Floral Wreath<\/a> Thinlits, Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Shattered<\/a> and Handwritten Thoughts<\/a> and used Distress Rock Candy Glitter<\/a> and Simon Says Gold Glitter cardstock <\/a>to add lots of sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lols <\/a> made a card using a Tim Holtz Road Trip Colorize Die Set<\/a> for the main focus. For the background she splattered with Distress Resist<\/a> and spritzed with Phantom Mist Mica Stain<\/a>. She used torn Black Cardstock<\/a> for the road and used a Grunged Cling Stamp<\/a> and Brutus Monroe Sterling Sparkle Embossing Powder<\/a>. She finished with a couple of Tim Holtz Celebration Colorize Balloons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a colorful tag using for the background leftovers from cutting Tim Holtz Sizzix Artsy Leaves<\/a>. She built up the composition using Tim Holtz Sizzix Feather Friends<\/a> and Brushstroke Flowers2<\/a> dies. The shine derives from Tim Holtz Distress Specimen Mica Stain<\/a> covering the background panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> created a trio of sparkly ATC’s using Paper Rose’s Abstract Trees die,<\/a>, added shine with Simon Says Stamp Holographic Rainbow cardstock<\/a>, and sparkle with Simon Says Stamp Unicorn Confetti.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Memory Box MAJESTIC HUES GLITTER 6×6 Paper Pack<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix GEO CHRISTMAS Thinlits Dies<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp Cozy Wishes Wafer Dies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used some Tim Holtz and Sizzix Dies (Butterfly<\/a> – Alphabet<\/a>) that are from the Vault release<\/a>. She also used Distress Paint<\/a> and some stencils<\/a> for her background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
