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

Andrea<\/a> converted two junk mail envelopes into some handy pockets to hold ephemera. She decorated her envelopes using some favorite Tim Holtz stamp sets: Worn Text<\/a>, Big Number Blocks<\/a>, and Glitch 2<\/a>. She also had fun trying a new shade of Infusions colored stain: Just Walnut<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> recycled twine from a package and old book paper in these two cards. The background was woven with die cuts from the Simon Says Stamp So Many Candles die<\/a>. The Simon Says Stamp Layered Bird Bunch<\/a> birds were die cut from scrap papers and old book and dictionary paper. The stickers are from Tim Holtz Metallic Sticker Book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> recycled some Idea-ology packaging to create the base of the tag and the butterfly.

Colors and embossing powders are by Ranger Ink: Scorched Timber Distress Spray stain<\/a>, Speckled Egg<\/a>, Pumice Stone<\/a> and Broken China<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> turned some mixed media experiments from a class she took into tiny canvases from her stash. She stamped her papers with the Tim Holtz Faded Type<\/a> stamps and painted the sides of her canvases gold and added gold splatter to the fronts using Hero Arts Gold Glimmer Metallic Ink<\/a>. To finish them she added Tim Holtz Distress Sparkle Texture Paste<\/a> and some Idea-ology Small Talk Stickers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> recycled an old sketchbook and created a new design for the cover. She used products from Tim Holtz’s beautiful new Distress colour bundle, Scorched Timber<\/a> and applied the stains, oxide sprays and paints to make the background. She then used the Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Vault Rosette Die<\/a> as a base for her layered focal point which was completed with an Entomology Adornment<\/a> in the centre and a Quote Chip Label<\/a> in a Label Frame<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> recycled a Ranger Craft Scraper<\/a>, bottle caps, pencil eraser and bubble wrap from her craft room and used with Tim Holtz Scorched Timber Distress Oxide Spray<\/a>, Picket Fence<\/a> and Scorched Timber <\/a>Distress Paints to create the background on an Art Journal page.

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

Maura<\/a> recycled some cardboard to create her background in an art journal. She was dreaming of spring and created a natural scene using Simon Says Stamp’s Standing Whirl Bird die, <\/a> Simon Says Stamp’s Lady’s Mantra Wafer die<\/a>, and added the word “gather’ with Seth Apter Paper Artsy’s EM66 stamp., <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia ALCHEMY 12×12 Paper<\/a> and recycled corrugated cardboard on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology PAPER DOLLS PORTRAITS<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology FACTORY TAGS Embellishments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
