Pauline<\/a> created a simple background by blending Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks<\/a> through a Lavinia Honeycomb stencil<\/a>, then added die cuts using Simon Says Stamp Fresh Daisies die<\/a>, a butterfly from AALL & Create Papyrus Essence die set<\/a>, and the Simon Says You wafer die<\/a> and matching You Matter<\/a> stamp set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a thinking of you\/happy thoughts tag using a quirky character from Kate Crane’s KC015 stamp set<\/a>. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz’s THMM182 stamp\/stencil set<\/a>. The tag itself is cut from Poppy Stamps’ Scalloped Pinpoint Tags die set<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin <\/a>made a thinking of you card using the Wispy Pine Needle Frame embossing folder<\/a> from the new And Everything Nice release<\/a>. The birds come from Simon Says Stamp Vintage Blooms<\/a> and Beautiful and Curious<\/a> sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a fall tag using the Simon Says Stamp Luggage Tags Wafer Dies (I confess, I’m in love with this die!). She added lots of fall leaves cut with the Tim Holtz Sizzix Skeleton Leaves Thinlits Die<\/a> and colored them with Ranger Ink Distress Spray Stain<\/a>. For the background, she used the Bricked stencil by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a sunny card to let a friend know she was thinking of them. She used the Simon Says Stamp Retro Wreath Die + Stencil<\/a> set along with collage papers and Distress Oxides<\/a> to create her wreath. She added it to a background of Distress Black Heavystock<\/a> and finished it with spatter using Foundry Wax and Dina Wakley Gloss Droppers.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> has created a tribute of remembrance to honour those who have fought so bravely for our countries. She created a wreath of poppies using the Sizzix Brushstroke Flowers<\/a> <\/a>2 die by Tim Holtz<\/a> which she layered onto a Stampers Anonymous Etcetera tag<\/a>. The background features the Rosette Mini Layering Stencil.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> was also inspired to create a card to honour the heroism of all those who have gone to war, past and present, to defend our liberty and to remember those who never returned, those who suffered life changing injuries and those that are left with memories that severely impact their lives. She used Tim Holtz\/Idea-ology Correspondence Vault 2025 Paper Stash<\/a>, Stampers Anonymous London Sights<\/a>, Sizzix Modern Floristry Thinlits<\/a> and Idea-ology Photobooth<\/a> and Thoughts Label Stickers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a>‘s love for cats led her to use the amazing Stamperia Furry Friends<\/a> collection and its Assorted Die Cuts<\/a>. She placed the lovely cat on the Simon Says Stamp Circle Quilt die<\/a> and also used the circle leftovers to fill the page. She finished the card with a sentiment from Tim Holtz Abstract Florals<\/a> stamp set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> created an art journal spread about her sister. She used Simon Says Stamp’s Sisters Forever stamp set,<\/a> Seth Apter Paper Artsy Printed Tissue,<\/a> Tim Holtz Collage Medium,<\/a> and Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a card using Simon Says Clear Stamps The Little Things<\/a> and Tsukineko VersaFine ONYX BLACK Ink Pad<\/a> on the background, and colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET B Markers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
