ATC Holder

This was supposed to be for four ATCs, but I made a mistake on one part and it had to be cut in half. The large leaf, birds and sayings are Paper Artsy, the tree is Crafty Individuals, the single words and little leaves are Inkadinkado, and the swirls are Bo Bunny. The gold strips are Anita's Glitterations.

Just A Note

This would make a nice gift. I used Paper Artsy Squiggly Ink stamps thoroughout for this project. If you make one for yourself then you can always refill it by stamping more 'Notes'! Quite simple to make, just one piece of card scored three times and the pockets glued. Could also be used for ATCs.

Been Busy

I bought, some years ago, a little notebook at a craft fair. It was covered inside and out with handmade paper and the body was made from one piece of card. I found it the other day and thought I'd have a go at making some myself. It's quite easy to make, but sticking on the papers was tricky as the book has to bend in three places. I had to use thinly-spread PVA glue. Using handmade papers was easier than normal craft papers as they are softer and more flexible. These books are also ideal for those who do not own a Bind-It-All and want to make notebooks.

The stamps used: Bird Book, Inkadinkado clear inchie stamps, and Dragonfly Book, Paper Artsy Squiggly Ink range.

Late Again! I Don't Know....

This is an ATC I made for the letter F! Better very late than never I suppose. I hope Linda will be kind and forgive me. I used a piece of Whitewash card for the base, embossed with the D'Vine Swirl folder and then rubbed back with a piece of sandpaper. The picture is a little Snag Em stamp made for Papermania. Another F is the Frayed ribbon and of course the Flowers!

I chose Green and Grey to represent G and made a Gatefold ATC. The paper is from the new Jesse Edwards range. The stamp is a cute little bird by Inkadinkado, coloured with Distress Inks. The phrase stamp is from Cat's Life Press. The sparkly strips are Anita's Glitterations - can't use them enough! And they are another G.

Finally on to H! I made a skinny and put a Happy Hedgehog on it. I embossed the card using a Cuttlebug folder, I can't remember the proper name, I call it Little Birds. The chipboard embellishment, flowers and brad are from a Brenda Pinnick kit.
