The Challenge: Do you think Julie is going to have a baby boy or baby girl? Well, she already has boys, so I picked “a girl”! So, the gals in the area swap group were to make her an atc according to what we decided.
Here’s my girl ATC. She really is ATC size, 2.5 in. x 3.5 in. Six cuts on the cricut to get her nice and chipboard thick…the cartridge is Stretch Your Imagination. She’s kinda goofy looking cute! lol
Going back in time….one of my earlier atc’s that I still fancy! I love to stamp and use as many images as I can, the collage stamped look…..I love the challenge!!!
Stamp club swap today
I love the look of real kids for creating artist trading cards. This one really went all out in decorating her hat with flowers and lace….and the glasses??? so cute! A really simple ATC to bring a smile and hopefully bring back fond memories of your growing up years.
I computer generated the sentiment after a friend translated it for me from french….THANKS Alice!
Then punched with McGill’s keyhole plates punch and stamped a tone on tone rose background stamp by Alesa Baker (Impression Obsession stamp company) on the punched piece….
The pearls are from Hero Arts…
OK – so YUM might be stretching things for eating a slice of pumpkin! So many cool vintage nursery rhyme images out there! This one is in an old book from 1922.
I used a children’s dictionary page for the pumpkin definition. Martha Stewart fence punch…
The cricut for the vines…
Flourish stamp is from Stampington/stamped in vivid vintage green ink and the alphabet is Paper Studio…
The flower is from Doodlebug…
Card-stock is Bazzill Smoothies in orange and blue…
Grandson number 2 had his 7th birthday April 1st…yep, he’s a handsome redhead!
Click to Enlarge, click on the picture again and it gets even larger!
The grandchildren and I have so much fun creating with the Cricut Paper Doll cartridge, that I had to make one for Lane for his birthday card. I added lots of little details…chalked and inked everything, crumpled the card-stock for the band on his hat…stamped teeny paisley on the scarf…
I wanted his chaps to look like leather so I used a Magenta crackle stamp on them….
Then to make the rope look a little like twine/rope, I took my xacto knife and scratched it up….
a very fun cowboy to make….I’ve always loved paper piecing!!! Hope he makes you smile too!
