Here’s one more twinchie made with leftover images from my ArtChix collage sheet. I used Cuttlebug dies to cut the tag and stamp frame out of lightweight coasters. Paper is from My Mind’s Eye.

Here’s a Christmas twinchie I made using some leftover collage sheet images from ArtChix Studios. Paper is by Basic Grey, and stamps used are Tim Holtz. The smaller size Nestabilities work well on the 2×2 inch collage.

I made this card for a friend who celebrated her birthday this week. Next month she will be running in a marathon to raise money for leukemia and lymphoma research. I know she will wear more sensible shoes than these! Happy Birthday, Barbara!

Supplies Stamps: Postmodern and Savvy. Paper: Basic Grey, Scenic Route, Papertrey Ink. Ink: Versafine and Ranger.

Today I mailed these ATCs for a swap with members of the Red Lead PaperWorks Yahoo group. The requirements were to use a wintery stamp or collage image from their store, incorporating shades of white or soft pastels. I don’t own any specific winter-themed products from them (yet), so I used this butterfly girl stamp and put her in a winter scene. I can think of many things this little scamp could hold in her hands behind her back, but for this ATC I decided she needed snowballs.

Supplies: Stamps by Red Lead, Memory Box, Karen Foster; Ink by Ranger (slate Adirondack) and StazOn (Timber Brown); Designer Paper by Anna Griffin, Fancy Pants; watercolor paper; Twinkling H20s; glitter; Copic markers; tiny puff balls by Impress; Iridescent Ice embossing powder by Stampin’ Up.

I had some left over supplies from a recent Christmas-themed swap so I thought I would make up a quick twinchie for the Winter challenge over at Theme Thursday. I even finished this before the theme changes this week! Now I need to clean up my big mess.

Supplies: Image by Artchix, paper by Basic Grey, stamps by Oxford Impressions, Cuttlebug die (postage border), snow glitter is Martha Stewart, tiny rhinestones, clear embossing powder.

I have been working on some Christmas twinchies and inchies for a swap on Splitcoaststampers, and haven’t had time to make anything else Halloweenie. This is an ATC I made two years ago for a Raven swap. It’s hard to see, but the poem, “The Raven,” is printed lightly on the background paper. The leaves (Stampin’ Up) and blackbird (Time to Stamp) are just stamped on top, but the bird is embossed with Ranger Black Soot Distress embossing powder. German scrap wing and a brad finish it off. Maybe I’ll get time to make another Raven ATC later today. I missed the challenge over at Sunday Postcard Art, where the theme was Blackbird last week. Seems like I’m always a few weeks behind.

I made this ATC by gluing some old fare tickets on a piece of Basic Grey paper, then painted them with a coat of Mod Podge for extra protection. The arrow and chipboard number were stamped and then inked up. I attached an old token for good measure! There are many other great works of number art over at The Three Muses this week, so check them out if you have time.

Although these are Halloween birds (stamp by Inkadinkado), I just had to play off their striped costumes and put them in front of Alcatraz. A little bit of paper piecing made them more colorful in front of the old photo.

Other supplies: Versafine black ink, Key by 7 Gypies, waxy flax, Basic Grey paper, computer-generated text, silver leafing pen.

The leaves aren’t falling here yet, but look out for the acorns! I get beaned every time I put the dog out. I’ve never seen so many acorns falling from our trees. Could that be why my allergies to oak were extra bad this spring?

This ATC is for a mingle on a Yahoo stamping group to which I belong, theme was “fall.” The little girl is a stamp from Stamp Francisco, and the sentiment is from Serendipity Stamps. I only used a portion of the verse, which reads: All those golden Autumn days the sky was full of wings. (Laura Ingalls Wilder)

Other supples: Copic markers, Memento ink (black), Ranger Distress ink (tea dye), Tim Holtz tiny attacher (love this tool!), leaf punch, silver leafing pen, tiny brad. Paper by Basic Grey and Papertrey Ink.

Wish I looked this good on my broom! This ATC was made with a vintage photo I found on the internet. The idea for the saying was from a poem on another vintage Halloween postcard I saw on the internet. I made the moon by layering cardstock punched with the EK Success moon/stars punch. I topped it off with a layer of glitter and glossy accents (by Ranger). The glossy accents dried with a slight wave in it; I must have applied too much!

Other supplies: Paper by Making Memories and Coredinations. Bat die by Sizzix. German scrap.
