Happy Little Stampers ATC January Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am back again with the 

Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge.

Every month Happy Little Stampers has an 

ATC challenge and the theme for January is Vintage.  

For anyone who isn't familiar with ATC cards, they are mini

works of art that measure 2.5" x 3.5" and are traded around the world.

Usually they are numbered and signed on the back by the artist.

For my vintage themed ATC I decided to use a large My Favorite Things script word stamp 

on the background of my card and do some stenciling over it with a Heidi Swapp decorative stencil.

For some extra interest to the background I stamped from vines from a Lawn Fawn

set and a rose in the bottom corner from Papertrey Ink.

The 4 hearts down the center were punched out of some script background patterned paper

also from Papertrey Ink and decorated with a 3-D rose on each.

To finish off my card I inked the edges of the card and the hearts

with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I hope you'll play along with us this month

 and enter the ATC challenge at 

Happy Little Stampers!

The winner for this challenge will receive a badge to display on their blog!

I am also very excited to announce that this month my daughter 

Taylor is joining us on the HLS ATC team and has designed her

very first gorgeous ATC card!

Happy Little Stampers ATC November Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am back again with the 

Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge.

Every month Happy Little Stampers has an 

ATC challenge and the theme for November is Sew (real of faux).  

For anyone who isn't familiar with ATC cards, they are mini

works of art that measure 2.5" x 3.5" and are traded around the world.

Usually they are numbered and signed on the back by the artist.

For my real of faux Sew ATC I decided to include some real AND faux stitching on my card.

I had a hand sewn yo-yo from my mom in my embellishment box and it was the 

perfect addition for this month's theme!

I added some fun faux stitching with the Button Boutique stamp set from Papertrey Ink and 

the adorable Handmade stamp panel was the perfect background for my sweet yo-yo!

The vintage heart button, lace trim and the 2 pearl stick pins were the 

perfect accents on this gorgeous little ATC card!

Be still my shabby little vintage heart!

I hope you'll play along with us this month

Happy Little Stampers ATC September Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am back again with the 

Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge.

 Every month Happy Little Stampers has an ATC challenge and the theme for September is Vintage!  For anyone who isn't familiar with ATC cards, they are mini works of art that measure 2.5" x 3.5" and are traded around the world. Usually they are numbered and signed on the back by the artist.

For my project I created an ATC card complete with a vintage sewing graphic, pretty lace, a piece of a vintage french dictionary page 

and a shabby flower. 

The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz 

idea-ology sticker book.

Here is the card I made for this challenge.

I hope you'll play along with us this month and enter the ATC challenge at 

Happy Little Stampers!

The winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop!
