Rox<\/a> used a Tim Holz Mixed Media Tag<\/a> as the base and colored with various colors of Distress Inks<\/a>. She layered with Entomology Collage Paper<\/a> and then added some Transparent Moths <\/a>and Curator Snippets<\/a>. She layered with Black Cardstock<\/a> and machine stitched the edges to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Andrea<\/a> made a pair of earrings using text elements from AALL & Create’s Power Words washi tape<\/a> and Simon’s Inside Greetings Birthday stamp set<\/a>. She colored some beads with Tim Holtz’s Alcohol Ink<\/a> and connected the elements using Tim Holtz’s Loop Pins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Anna-Karin <\/a>made a tag with a background created from old book paper. The background was painted with Distress Paint and misted with Distress Spritz Antique Linen<\/a>. The bird was die cut with Simon Says Stamp Sweet Songbird<\/a> and the title comes from Simon Says Stamp Simple Hello. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Barbara<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> used the Tim Holtz Sizzix Numbered <\/a>Embossing Folder to create the background of her card. She added a big birthday cake from the Catherine Pooler Let’s Eat Cake<\/a> set and cut the candles out of all the fun colors of Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Pack<\/a> of cardstock. She added some fun splatter to the background using Sterling<\/a> Foundry Wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Emma<\/a>‘s project features a Stampers Anonymous  Size 8 Etcetera Tag<\/a>, layered over the top of an Etcetera Facade<\/a>. She decided to show some love for this theme and combined the Tim Holtz Tiny Text<\/a> and Curiosity Shop<\/a> stamp sets and SSS co-ordinating dies as a focal point on a background of Distress Spray Stains<\/a> and stencils from the Mini Layering Stencil Set 48<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Kath<\/a> created a page in her Dylusions Small Creative Journal<\/a> using the papers, cut-outs and stickers from  Stamperia Furry Friends Junk Journal<\/a> along with Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous Script Layering Stencil<\/a> and Distress Grit Paste Opague<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Macarena<\/a> made a tag with a window using for the text theme the Paper Artsy Seth Apter Printed Tissue pt06<\/a> and for the background in the window, the Paper Artsy Kate Crane Stencil ps483<\/a>. For the main element she fussy cut one of the birds from Brutus Monroe Cog and Feather Creative Cards.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Maura<\/a> made a fun and simple ATC this week using Simon Says Stamp Oh Shiitake stamps<\/a><\/strong> and AALL and Create’s Just Memories stamps. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz idea-ology Pink 12 x 12 Palette Paper Collection<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS<\/a> and Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Dolls Mini<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Zoey<\/a> used Tim Holtz Floral Elements Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle<\/a> to create her cluster. She also used text layering stencil <\/a>and distress oxide ink<\/a> and spray stain<\/a> to create her background. The little sentiment is also Tim Holtz Tiny Text Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
