ATC's - Fall edition

I have a little something different to share today; it's an ATC, well technically 2 of them. I bought a pack of Ranger ATC's at Hobby Lobby and had a chance to work on a few over the holiday weekend. For the holiday weekend we went to our cottage with my Mother & Brother-in-law along with my husbands 93 year old grandmother. It was fun however I lacked good packing skills and so my holiday weekend went something like this-I brought my rubber stamps but didn't bring the scissors to cut them to use; I brought Versa Mark ink and embossing powder but no heat gun; I brought stamps, ink, stickers, rub ons, paper, you name it for this frame that I was asked to put together but I forgot the frame at home; I had these invitations to work on that I brought my paper to use, trimmer, notes I had made but I forgot the template to the invitations at home; and one more I brought my Cuttlebug, plates die cuts and all to die cut my scraps of paper but I left the scraps of paper box at home as well. Therefore, these obstacles gave me playtime to just do whatever with what I had and so I came up with these ATC's to share.

This first one I made by background stamping the base with Stampin Up ink and a Deep Red Stamp that you can find HERE. Deep Red Stamps is a newer company that has many different images to shoose from. They are good quality stamps made here in the USA and you can find them at Oozaks and A Cherry on Top has some too. These two sites are here in Michigan, so to all the Michiganders please support the shops in our beautiful state.

Then I dry embossed it to give it more of the woodgrain affect using an embossing folder by Darice. After that I inked the edges with Ranger distress inks. I played with a few different colors until I got this look. The pie and utensils die cuts are by K and Co. The orange patterned paper is by Recollections however I inked it a ton and therefore it wasn't the same color as when I started. The purple paper is a scrap from IDK where and then the Thanksgiving sticker is by Flair Designs.

For my next ATC I used a background paper that I made with paint blobs all over kraft cardstock. I had forgotten I tried that a few years ago and didn't like it then.So when I pulled it out over the weekend I decided to do a little bit more to jazzy it up. I took my Ranger distress inks and inked it with multiple colors of inks and then I sprayed it with water mixed with gold Perfect Pearls. This peanut has so much sparkle that my husband ran away in fear. (He hates glitter and anything glittery-whatever!) I think the paint is by Plaid and the cardstock by Oriental Trading Co.

The die cuts are from the same pack as the ATC above K and Co. I placed the nut die cut on a Spellbinders Label #5 die that I had inked like the rest of the card. The patterned paper is by Scribble Scrabble-very old from my stash-and the metal sentiment is by Scrapbook Pro-local dollar store find.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Easel card with a twist

Today I have an easel card with a twist to share. As promised I used a Deep Red stamp on my card today. The corner flourish stamp that can be found HERE, has been heat embossed with silver embossing powder by Stampin Up and ink by Versa Mark. I love the way the silver looks on the kraft cardstock. And I also love what a great impression I get when stamping with these Deep Red stamps. Little tid-bit at this stamp company-their stamps are made in the USA. Gotta love that for all you stateside peeps.

I received the card base and kraft cardstock at a class I took and therefore don't have the manufacturer of them. For the rest of my card I used vellum by The Paper Studio, vellum die cut by Spellbinders, cake and flower stickers from Jolee's/EK Success and the metal sentiment is by Scrapbooks Pro.

Thanks for stopping by and check back tomorrow for another project using my new stamps by Deep Red.
