It\u2019s Teresa’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

Teresa<\/a> used a mini Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Tag <\/a>for the base of her woodland inspired scene.\u00a0She combined Idea-ology products with various Sizzix Tim Holtz dies to create the forest feel of the tag. The butterfly was die cut with the Detailed Butterflies set<\/a> and the trees with Tall Pines<\/a>. Distress Ink and Alcohol Ink were used to color the various die cutouts. The tag was completed with some preserved reindeer moss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a tree-covered tag using some great products from Simon: the Small Bottle Brush Tree die set<\/a>, the Adornments die set<\/a> for the tag itself, and the Burst Snowflakes embossing folder<\/a>. She also used Mama Elephant’s Goody Bag Topper die set<\/a> and Mini Messages stamp set<\/a> for the tiny tag at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin <\/a>created a tag in memory of having searched for the perfect tree as a child. The main image comes from Tim Holtz Home For Christmas set <\/a>and the trees in the background were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Forest Scenery.<\/a> She also used lots of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Surf<\/a> and Sprout Gems.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> inspired this challenge from the Layering Stencil Modern Tree by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous<\/a>. She created two cards using various Ranger Distress Spritz<\/a> in different shades of blue sprayed on Ranger Black Heavystock<\/a>. She used Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Holiday Classic Thinlits Dies<\/a> and the Tim Holtz Cling Stampers Anonymous Holiday Whatnots<\/a> stamp set to complete her cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a winter scene card using the Simon Says Stamp Feathery Pines<\/a> Embossing Folder. She colored the scene in using her shavings palette made from Distress Watercolor Pencils. She added splatter using Distress Paint in Picket Fence<\/a> and Distress Foundry Wax<\/a>. She finished her card with a sentiment form the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Home for the Holidays Set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created Christmas home decor projects to gift to friends using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Vignette Boxes<\/a> covered with Christmas KraftStock Sparkle paper<\/a> and decorated with Christmas 2024 Baseboards and Transparencies<\/a>, 2024 Typography<\/a>, Woodland Tree Lot<\/a>, Christmas Confections<\/a>, Baubles Findings<\/a>, with lots of  Distress Texture Paste Opague<\/a> dusted with Distress Rock Candy Glitter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> instead of trees themselves used Tim Holtz Black Woodgrain Cardstock<\/a> on her background panel and added shine with Tim Holtz Distress Mica Stain Decayed<\/a> and Unravelled<\/a>. She made up a mosaic with Tim Holtz Vintage Labels dies <\/a>and placed everything on a crazy pink background made with AALL & Create Circle Dance stencil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> created a page in her art journal using Simon Says Stamp’s Two Step Simple Leaves stamps, <\/a> blending colors on the stamp and misting with water. Some of the inks she used were SImon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Rhubarb,<\/a> Apple<\/a> and Fairway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using\u00a0Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Christmas Backdrops<\/a>\u00a0on the background, and decorated it with\u00a0Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Christmas Layers and Paper Dolls<\/a> and\u00a0Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Christmas Sticker Book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used the wonderful Tim Holtz Bottle Brush Trees Stamps<\/a> as main focus of her tag. She also used Holiday Postmarks<\/a> to add more interest to the background and Christmastime3 <\/a>for her sentiment. For the background she used a bit of Distress Ink<\/a> and Distress Mica Stain<\/a> to add some sparkle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
