My Cute Stamps Easter Stamp Giveaway!

These ATC's were made with the Your Tweet stamp set from My Cute Stamps. I love making ATC's. Especially since I can recycle!! I have a huge box of boo-boos. You know, those times you stamp an image and it doesn't come out perfect. I cannot bring myself to throw them out. So, I save them to make ATC's, since ATC's give me the freedom to be more artsy and alter them.

So, on to the giveaway! My Cute Stamps is holding an Easter Stamp Giveaway at their blog: Creating Cupcakes!

Here's some cards I posted earlier with this fun set:

Club Anya First Sketch Challenge

These are ATC's based off the Club Anya Sketch Challenge #1. I then designed a card to attach them to that was also based on the Sketch. I cut an ATC sized glassine envelope to place the ATC's in. They feature TGF's Mermaid Anya and Princess Anya all colored in Copics. The seahorse was created with a Martha Stewart punch.

And that yummy black and cream cardstock is by Graphic 45. It's an older release, but one of my favorites!!

ATC Project Day!

So, I helped teach ATC's to a 3rd Grade class yesterday. Here's some of the samples I made for them. This was the first time the kids made ATC's and they really enjoyed it. I saw so much creativity and was so impressed! Since it was their first time, we decided to prep some stuff for them. We pre-stamped some images on ATC cards. And some additional ones in case they wanted to cut them out and pop dot them. Those pop dots sure were popular, too. Guess who was the most requested?? The "pirate monkey"!! Otherwise known as the monkey from TGF's Sweet Deal set.
In case you're wondering, the dino and the rocket are from the Pink Paislee Vintage Pop set. Love that set!
Some glimmer misted ATC backgrounds.........

Each child made 5 cards and in the end picked names of other classmates to swap with. I forgot my camera, so I didn't get any photos of the kids' cards. Maybe next time. Since, they all seem to want to make more!

Valentine Challenge Pt. II

Part II of my TGF Valentine Challenge.
This one is my Sea of Love Mermaid Anya card. The background is another Cuttlebug creation. I applied layers of alcohol ink, ink rubbed it in black, and misted with Glimmer Mist in the new summer LE Riptide. I then used a craft blade to cut some of the waves, inserted hearts punched with the fiskars squeeze punch scalloped heart. Anya's tail is embellished with Imaginisce's Rainbow Blooms in blue.

Now for a little Unity love.
Here's the new, awesome, AND eco-friendly, Unity Stamp Company packaging. These are some card and ATC samples for my LSS. I just adore this "Boom Goes my Heart" stamp! I am a big fan of the Unity stamp system. If you want to try them out in person and live in San Diego, click on the link in my side bar to Cool Scrapbook Stuff. I will be doing demos once the next shipment of Unity arrives. They will be getting the complete line of new releases soon! Which means "Boom Goes my Wallet"!
