Carol <\/a>used a Simon Says Stamp Sketch Flower Stamp Set <\/a>and embossed with Silver Powder<\/a>. For the background she used a Tucked Heart Background stamp<\/a> and added a few Silver Pearls <\/a>and finished with a foiled Celebrate die cut sentiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> converted a small metal tin into a “Muse Meter” using the Rainbow Wheels die set<\/a> by Sizzix and her sturdy Big Shot<\/a>. The arrow can spin thanks to a classic metal fastener<\/a>. She stamped the sentiment with AALL & Create’s Bits of Alpha stamp set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin <\/a>made a tag with different metallic elements. The background was covered with metallic tape and dry embossed in Simon Says Stamp Boho Flowers embossing folder.<\/a> The flowers were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Charming Flower Stem<\/a> and the title with Simon Says Stamp Fancy Hello.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a tag using Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2024 Halloween Sticker Book<\/a> and Idea-ology Photo Frames<\/a>. She chose Stampers Anonymous Gothic stencil<\/a> and Ranger Distress Ink Pad Mini Oxide<\/a> for the background. The flower is from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Dearly Departed<\/a> stamp set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a card with die cuts cut from Matte Gold Metallic<\/a> cardstock. She used the Simon Says Stamp Mid-Century Ethereal<\/a> embossing folder to create the background for her card, then added some leaves cut from the Autumn Leaf Branch <\/a>dies. She added a simple sentiment cut from gold glitter cardstock using the Be Patient<\/a> dies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> created a Halloween card featuring the ghosts from the Tim Holtz Halloween Doodles Stamps with SSS Dies Bundle<\/a>. She then used many metallic elements to add shimmer and shine to this make, including Distress Mica Stains<\/a> for the background, metallic Kraft card<\/a>, gold embossing powder<\/a> and idea-ology Hardware Heads<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> went quite crazy with building layers on this card using Tim Holtz Sizzix Foundry 3D Embossing Folder<\/a> with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Kraft Stock Metallic Classic<\/a> paper for the first panel. Then she started to cover it up with layers of leftovers and she finished with Elizabeth Craft Designs Tag Variety Pack Dies<\/a> and Tim Holtz Sizzix Countdown dies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> made a duo of insect themed ATCs. She used Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects dies,<\/a> added metal with Tim Holtz’x Entymolorgy Adornments<\/a>, added some Tim Holtz Tiny Toadstools<\/a>, and went a bit wild with the Simon Says Stamp White Splatter. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a holiday card using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps CHRISTMAS MAGIC<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology 2023 Christmas Adornments Deck The Halls<\/a> and Tim Holtz idea-ology 2024 Christmas Sticker Book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used Elizabeth Craft Designs Shadow Box Frames<\/a> to create her little box, then she covered the surface with Dina Wakley MEdia Sitcky back canvas tape<\/a> and the sides with Tim Holtz Linen Tape<\/a>. She used Crackle Paste<\/a> to create texture and used Distress Spray Stain<\/a> and Oxide Spray<\/a> to add color. She also Embellished the metal cloud with Rock Candy Chunky Glitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
