This week we are welcoming back the lovely Autumn into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Autumn made a pair of woodland cards using the Tim Holtz Into the Woods Stamp Set with subtle sparkle from Ranger Mint Chip Embossing Powder and Distress Mica Flakes. She embellished her cards with Sizzix Large Funky Festive Floral Elements. 

Andrea made some tree tags with sparkly silver edges. She used Brutus Monroe’s Sterling Sparkle Embossing Powder and Neon Pink Aqua Pigment. She also whipped out the Simon Says Stamp/CZ Design Clean Line Christmas stamp set and added some snowflakes from the Sunny Studio Snowflake Circle Frame die set.

Anna-Karin made two very shiny and sparkly cards. She used Brutus Monroe Simple Blend Heart Stencil and Mask in combination with their Regal Micro Pearls. The card base comes from Tim Holtz’s Paper Stash Metallic 3 Kraft Stock.

Barbara took her inspiration from the Retro 50’s style! Jolly St Nick dies mixed with Atomic Elements dies, both by Tim Holtz Sizzix, are perfect to create this card! She used Brutus Monroe Vintage Sparkle Embossing powder and Brutus Monroe Acrylic Bubbles, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Lumberjack set for her background. 

Cheiron created a sparkly snowflake card using Brutus Monroe Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze and the Tim Holtz Sizzix Fanciful Snowflakes and Paper Snowflakes Mini Thinlits dies with a sentiment from Modern Christmas.

Emma created a Christmas card using Brutus Monroe Embossing Powders in Vintage Sparkle, Gilded and Alabaster, blended together to add some sparkle and shine to her cascade of Fanciful Snowflakes.

Kath decorated a Medium Etcetera Tag using the adorable image from Brutus Monroe’s White Christmas and the Shimmer Wreath die from the DieCember release and added an Tim Holtz Idea-ology Half Tree Woodland Finding, Ephemera from the Christmas Sticker Book, Metallic Droplets, Distress Grit Paste and Distress Mica Flakes to add sparkle.

Lols made a Christmas card using new DieCember Simon’s Exclusive Shimmer Snowflake Die , Brutus Monroe Watercolor Galaxy Paper and Sterling Sparkle Embossing Powder

Macarena made a sparkle Xmas scene using Tim Holtz Sizzix Merry Moose hopping above Tim Holtz Sizzix Tree Line die with a lot of sparkle using Brutus Monroe Sterling Sparkle embossing powder.

Maura was thinking how fun it would be to celebrate Christmas on the beach. She made a giant tag using Brutus Monroe’s String Lights and Road Trip stamps, along with his Tangled Waves stencil and Acrylic Flat Bubbles.

Meihsia was inspired to create a card using Brutus Monroe Clear Stamps Brutus and Friends and colored it with Daniel Smith Ultimate Mixing Hand Poured Watercolors and Royal Langnickel Zen Watercolor Brush Set. 

Sandra made a Christmas card with the Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze Fallen Snow and Peacock Sequins, and went for a sort of monochrome palette with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Storm Cloud and Infusions In The Navy and Black Knight, and for the bright she used the Star of Wonder die with the Metallic-3 Kraftstock.

Zoey used a mix from Brutus Monroe Pigments in BLUE and TURQUOISE to create this watery background – she also used Brutus Monroe GILDED ultra fine embossing powder and Mermaid Tail to decorate the bells.

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!

It’s Nikki’s  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 :-)

Nikki from Addicted to Art has created some Christmas cards using parcel tape on her Gell Plate. She used Dina Wakley paints, Prima Mica Powders and Tim Holtz stamp set – Psychedelic Grunge to create strips of printed tape that she then made into embellishment for her cards.

Andrea revamped the cover of her Dylusions Grid Dyalog Insert Book. She used Tim Holtz’s Travel tape, Salvaged tape and Memory Box’s Twas the Night tape.

Anna-Karin covered the entire background of a tag with Design Tape, stickers and sentiment stickers. Placing out the pieces is almost like doing a puzzle. She used Tim Holtz Design Tape and his Christmas Sticker Book.

Barbara used Tim Holtz Christmas Design Tape and Tim Holtz Sizzix Patchwork Bird to create two greeting cards for her friends! She has chosen various stamps and stencil by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous for the backgrounds: Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Lumberjack set, Mini stencil 44 and Modern Christmas set.

Cheiron used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Design Tape as a border on her card panel along with stamps from the Stampers Anonymous Modern Christmas and Into the Woods stamp sets to create her modern Christmas card. She finished it with tons on Idea-ology Metallic Droplets to create the baubles on her tree.

Emma created a Christmas Story and used Tim Holtz’s Christmas Design Tape to add decorative edges to her vintage style Medium Etcetera Tag. She added a Small Woodland Tree, complete with Bauble Findings, placed next to a photo taken from Tim’s Found Relatives Photo Set.

Kath created Christmas cards with matching gift bags using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Design Tape, the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Believe stamp set and die-cut Kate Snowflakes on Schoolhouse Red and Neenah Desert Storm cardstock.

Lols made a set of Christmas cards using a Tim Holtz Modern Christmas Cling Stamp Set and Christmas Design Tape.

Macarena  made a vintage Xmas card using her favorite Simon Says Stamp Large Gnome die and used Tim Holtz Idea-ology Halloween tape as a frame of her card.

Maura added Carta Bella washi tape to her Christmas cards, using the Icy Snowflakes, Winter Floral and Home Again Floral to make a hill for the Stamping Bella Two Gnomes on a Log.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Vintage Design Tape on the background and decorated it using Tim Holtz Chatter Design Tape and Sizzix Geo Christmas Thinlits Dies. 

Sandra made a card with the Swirly Florals stencil and added color with Nuvo Shimmer Powders and Metallique Paint. She placed the Official Stripe Washi tape almost in the middle of her card and gave it shade with Distress Crayon Black Soot.

Zoey used a mix of Dina Wakley Ranger BLANK TAPE Media, Tim Holtz Idea-ology SALVAGED Design Tape , Tim Holtz Idea-ology ELEMENTARY Design Tape to create texture in her background – she also used a bunch of pieces from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Ephemera Pack EXPEDITION, Tim Holtz Idea-ology LAYERS REMNANTS.

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
