Ann<\/a> used two colors of Distress Oxide Spray<\/a>,  Sizzix Numbered 3D embossing folder<\/a> and some Tim Holtz Idea-ology<\/a> to make a masculine card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> used Seth Apter’s Gridiron die set<\/a> to create visual interest on her tag. The tag itself is cut with Waffle Flower’s Nesting Tags die set<\/a> and the slide-frame is from Tim Holtz’s Specimen die set<\/a>. The tag is finished off with a Tim Holtz Photobooth image<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a> created a masculine, travel-inspired tag using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault World Travel Thinlits dies<\/a>. For the center, she chose a picture from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Photobooth<\/a>, and for the sentiment, Tim Holtz Idea-ology Quote Chip Labels<\/a>. She colored her tag with Ranger Ink Distress Ink Pad, Broken China and Rusty Hinge<\/a>. She distressed the edges using Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad Woodsy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cheiron<\/a> created a simple and masculine Hello Card using Tim Holtz Neutral 8 x 8 Palette Paper pack<\/a>. She added a sentiment from the CZ Design Classic Friendship<\/a> stamp set and cut it from the coordinating dies and placed in on a cut out Elongated Hexagon<\/a>. To finish her card, she added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a> created a Disney themed Stampers Anonymous Etcetera Panel<\/a> in celebration of Father’s Day because she has many happy memories of watching Disney films with her Dad. So with this in mind, she made a Mickey Mouse themed project and used Spellbinders dies including Steamboat Willie<\/a>, Alphabet<\/a> and Frames and Sentiments<\/a>, combined with the Sizzix Vault Industrial Die Set by Tim Holtz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a Father’s Day card using Tim Holtz\/Idea-ology Neutral 8″ x 8″ Palette Collection<\/a>, Stampers Anonymous Distinquished<\/a> and Sign Painter<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp Sign Painter co-ordinating dies<\/a> and Sizzix Tailored<\/a> Thinlits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a textured tag with one of the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3D Texture Embossing Folders<\/a> and she aded Tim Holtz Sizzix Tailored dies <\/a>combined with Tim Holtz Idea-ology Gauge Dials<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> created a masculine tag using Tim Holtz stamps such as The Professor, <\/a>Inquisitive,<\/a> and Observation.<\/a> She used Tim Holtz Collage Paper Archives i<\/a>n the background, as well as layers of ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps The Professor 2<\/a> and Ranger Best Dressed Archival Ink Pad And Reinker Bundle<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology INDUSTRiAL GEARS Embellishments<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used a paper doll<\/a> as main character of her tag. She also used Texture Paste<\/a> throught a Layering Stencil <\/a>and Distress Spray Stain<\/a> for her background. To highlight texture and add some light she used Gold<\/a>. Her sentiment is a stamped image<\/a> on a same toned watercolor panel<\/a> to keep everything cohesive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
