This week we\u2019re welcoming back the lovely Teresa York<\/a> into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa<\/a> used a small Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Tag<\/a> and two Idea-ology Vignette Boxes<\/a> for the base of her Christmas inspired holiday scene. She combined various distress papers from Ranger with Idea-ology products including wood slices<\/a> and some woodland trees. Various Sizzix\/Tim Holtz dies were used to create the festive scene; Vault Christmas Magic<\/a>, Forest Shadows<\/a>, Chilly and Freezy, Celebration Words Script<\/a>. She completed the tag with reindeer moss<\/a> and jute twine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a Tim-tastic card using skyline dies from Tim’s Vault Christmas Magic<\/a> die set. She stamped onto her buildings using Tim’s School Desk<\/a> and Grunged<\/a> stamp sets. The card is cut out of Kraft Heavystock<\/a> in a file folder shape from Tim’s Specimen<\/a> die set and the sentiment is attached with Tim’s Cello Sticker Tape<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a mixed media canvas for a friend. The bird was die cut with Tim Holtz Sizzix Feathered Friends <\/a>and all the greenery comes from the Vault Festive Wreath set<\/a>. The background was stenciled with Tim Holtz Stamper’s Anonymous Latticework<\/a> and Bubble stencils<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Acorns 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder<\/a>. She used Ranger Distress Spritz Wilted Violet<\/a>, Villainous Potion<\/a>, Crackling Campfire<\/a>, and Tsukineko VersaFine Clair Fallen Leaves Ink pad<\/a> to color it. She added Tim Holtz Idea-ology Muse Tokens Coin<\/a> to finish the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> used the newly released Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Letterboard<\/a> and Fresh Brewed<\/a> Sidekick Side Orders along with her trusty Sizzix Sidekick<\/a> to create a card for a friend who now lives far away to send her a Starbucks Gift Card and let her know she’s thinking of her and missing the conversations they used to have over a coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a card with a foresty mood using Tim Holtz Paint By Numbers<\/a> stamp set for the background and Lovestruck Colorize die<\/a> for the focal point and the sentiment she took from Abstract Florals <\/a>stamp set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> just may be trying to ignore the approach of winter with her card this week. She went for a Spring look with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Abstract Florals stamps, <\/a> Tim’s Archives Collage Paper,<\/a>and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry<\/a> and Spiced Marmalade<\/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 Cling Rubber Stamps Mr. Frostie<\/a> on the background, and added sentiments with Tim Holtz idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS<\/a> and Tim Holtz idea-ology METALLIC Sticker Book<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey <\/a>used the Side-Order Letterboard<\/a> to create the sentiment of her tag. She also used Postale Thinlits <\/a>as her main focus + Wildflowers<\/a> and some butterflies<\/a> as decorations . For the background she used a bunch of Distress Oxide Inks<\/a> and Broken China Distress Spritz<\/a> to add some glam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
