Rox<\/a> used a Tim Holtz Floral Trims Cling Stamp Set <\/a>and Distress Inks <\/a>for the background. She used a Dina Wakleys Pocket Circles Stamp Set<\/a>, stamped and cut the images and adhered in place. I also added a retired Tim Holtz Impresslits to add the shamrock, layering it with foam mounts. She added some Tim Holtz Ephemera Snippets <\/a>and Rub-Ons<\/a> and machine stitched the edges to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a shamrock out of hearts using Honey Bee’s Heart Hugs die set<\/a>. She used Memory Box’s Fringed Scallop Frame die set<\/a> for the card itself and made the LUCKY sentiment using AALL & Create’s Letter Soup die set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin<\/a> made an art journal page with a whole lot of green. She really like monstera plants and the great shape of the leaves and used Simon Says Stamp Monstera die <\/a>for the three leaves. The title was stamped with Tim Holtz Sign Painter set <\/a>and die cut with the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Sign Painter dies.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created two tags using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad SAGE<\/a> and Ranger Distress Oxide Ink Pad Tattered rose<\/a>. She chose two stencils from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, Shifters Mini Stencil Set 36<\/a> and Mini Stencil Set 10<\/a>, for the backgrounds. The beautiful butterflies are from Simon Says Stamp Embossing Folder and Dies Fantasy Butterflies<\/a>. For the center point she used Stampers Anonymous Spring Sprung Easter CMS084.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a card to celebrate St Patrick’s Day using Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Curiosity Shop stamp set<\/a>, the Simon Says Stamp Curiosity co-ordinating dies<\/a>, Tim Holtz\/Idea-ology Serendipity Collage Paper <\/a>and Idea-ology Story Stick<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> is waiting for Spring to come and made a card mixing green and yellow using Tim Holtz Abstract Florals<\/a> as a focal point and Faded Type<\/a> and Mr. Rabbit<\/a> stamp sets for the background. For the greens she chose Peeled Paint Oxide<\/a>, Mowed Lawn Oxide<\/a> and Wicked Elixir Mica Stain<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> took a light touch with green this time in her Dyan Reavely Small Creative Journal.<\/a> She created multiple layers with paint like Dina Wakley’s Lime Green acrylic<\/a>, pink and green tissue paper, Seth Apter’s Paper Artsy Printed Tissue, <\/a>and even a few stamped snowflakes using Simon Says Stamp’s Snowflake Season stamps. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a birthday card using AALL & Create Purrfect Birthday A7 Clear<\/a> to stamp the image, then colored it with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 COLOR Set<\/a> and added sentiments with Tim Holtz idea-ology SENTIMENTS Label Stickers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used a bunch of greens in Distress Inks<\/a> + Paint<\/a> for her background. She also used Tim Holtz Curiosity Shop stamp set<\/a> and the Simon Says Stamp Curiosity co-ordinating dies<\/a> to decorate it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
