It\u2019s Carol’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

Carol<\/a> made a forest using Tim Holtz Bottlebrush Trees<\/a> stamped with Distress Oxide Inks<\/a> and framed using a Simon Says Stamp Squoval diecut<\/a> . She used a Tim Holtz Tiny Text sentiment,<\/a> and finished with a Festive Gatherings <\/a>pine sprig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> used Simon’s Small Bottle Brush Tree Dies<\/a> for Halloween instead of Christmas. She also used Simon’s Halloween Friends Stamps and Dies<\/a> for the adorable Frankie. The black and white frame is made from Whimsy Stamps’ Chunky Checkers Dies<\/a> and the background is made with Mama Elephant’s Deckled Frames Dies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a Halloween-themed card using Tim Holtz Sizzix Forest Shadows Thinlits Dies<\/a>. She chose two Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous products to complete the nightscape: the Moon Mask stencil<\/a> and the Halloween Silhouettes CMS 115<\/a> stamp set. To color the card, she chose Ranger Ink Distress Mini Oxide<\/a> and to make the moon shine, she used Snowflakes Distress (Glitter + Mica Flakes).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a fall forest scene using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Forest Shadows<\/a> dies. She colored her trees with Distress Inks then mounted them behind a panel cut with the Simon Says Stamp A2 Arches Wafer Dies<\/a> . She placed the panel onto a Distress Oxide blended ink background and finished with a sentiment from the the CZ Design Thank You Basics<\/a> stamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> created a vintage style Halloween Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Panel using a selection of products from the 2025 Tim Holtz Halloween idea-ology release together. She added Halloween Layers and Paper Dolls<\/a> onto a background of Backdrops pape<\/a>r before adding the fringe<\/a>, and Halloween Adornments<\/a>. She completed the piece with Alpine Trees<\/a> dyed black and covered in Chunky Rock Candy Glitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> used a simple transfer technique with a sticky tape to transfer the tree image from Stamperia Forest 12×12 Paper<\/a> and framed it with 49 and Market Vintage Orchard Stacked Frames<\/a>. She added some vintage touches using Tim Holtz idea-ology Cello Sticker Tape<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> apparently is thinking Spring instead of Fall in her art journal this week. She created a tree scene using AALL and Create’s Friendly Avenue stencil,<\/a> Simon Says Stamp’s Acorn Bundle die,<\/a> Tim Holtz’s The Park dies<\/a>, and she added background with the Simon Says Stamp STAMPttember Friendship Text Background stamp.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a card using Papertrey Ink Towering Trees Clear Stamps<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Dolls Mini<\/a> and Tim Holtz idea-ology SENTIMENTS Label Stickers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
