Slider ATCs

Ok, so I think this is so cool. I found instructions to make double slider ATCs. Since it’s fall, and it’s Halloween, I used some horror/thriller movies as my subject matter. They are all colored using Copic markers. I used digital images. The first image is of the card closed, the second image is with […]

Some digital images were provided, but the majority of the supplies were things I already had in my craft stash. The pacing was great. There were well-timed breaks throughout […]

Candyman and Helpers

For me, Gene Wilder will forever be the ultimate candy man. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the 1971 film, was colorful and scary, and also the dream candy factory. For a recent candy-themed swap at atcsforall, I created cards featuring Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas. They are colored with Copic markers, have heat […]

Bubbles!

I absolutely adore this ATC. The challenge for this swap on atcsforall was to create a card using bubble wrap somehow. I used it to stamp the background, using Distress Ink. The image is from Unity Stamps. It evokes the essence of childhood innocence and fun, blowing bubbles on a sunny day. I colored the […]
