It\u2019s Alison’s <\/a> last 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

Alison<\/a> loves a brick wall, so she grabbed the Ranger Crypt Paste<\/a> and put it through Tim Holtz’s Bricked Layering Stencil<\/a> to create a textured background for her autumnal gatherings.  Some paint, a Pumice Stone Distress Crayon<\/a> and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide<\/a> all add to the distressed look of the bricks.  And over the top, what else but her very own berry stamps from the PaperArtsy Fodder Berry Edition<\/a>?  They look so luscious, painted with the Distress Watercolor Pencils<\/a>.  The leaves are die-cut from papers smooshed in Distress Inks, Oxides, Spritzes and Mica Stains, using the Fall Foliage<\/a> and Leaf Fragments Thinlits<\/a> dies.  And the berries nestle amongst real twigs and flax seedheads from Alison’s garden.  A few Snippets Ephemera – Curator labels<\/a> and Number Strips<\/a> add detail to the background, and the words are from the Clippings Stickers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> made two tags using Dina Wakley’s new 3″ Square Tags<\/a>. She also used a Dina Wakley stencil, Dotted Tape<\/a>, along with two stencils from Creative Expressions: Geometric Dots<\/a> and Starburst<\/a>. She added some scallops at the bottom of her tags courtesy of AALL & Create’s Majestic Borders<\/a> die set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a mixed media Halloween tag this week. She used Tim Holtz Halloween Collage paper <\/a>to create the background with the large skull. The bats and moon were die cut with Tim’s Vault Wicked<\/a> set. Here and there, you will find Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gunmetal Gems. <\/a>The bats in the background were stenciled with Tim’s Batground stencil.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> created a couple of tags using two stencils from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, Batty in the mini version set 61<\/a> version and Flourish in the mini version set 10<\/a>. The central portraits are from the Idea-ology 2024 Halloween Layers and Paper Dolls pack.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created Halloween cards using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Mini Batty and Bones Layering Stencils from Set 61<\/a>, Halloween 2024<\/a> and Archives<\/a> Collage Papers, die-cut words using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Vault Gothic Portraits Thinlits<\/a> and added a generous splattering of Rusty Hinge Distress Spritz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> made a layered card kept in shades of blue. She used Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Digits<\/a> with Distress Texture Paste Black Opaque<\/a>. Then she kept adding layers and embellishments from 49 and Market Color Swatch Charcol Ephemera<\/a> and Wherever Chipboard Bits<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> made two leaf themed cards with Simon Says Stamp’s Monstera <\/a>and Stromanthe <\/a>stencils. She also used the Tim Holtz Mini #9 stencil set<\/a>, and Simon Says Stamp’s Pawsitively Saturated Paprika <\/a>and Field<\/a> inks, and snuck in a tiny elf from Tim Holtz’s Stamptember 2024 stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a birthday tag using Tim Holtz MINI STENCIL SET 5<\/a> on the background, and adding images with Simon Says Clear Stamps Once Upon a Dream<\/a> and  Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET C Markers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
