Trading Card to Full Size Card/Love Bandit

Hi all you great papercrafters,
Sorry I didn't get my post up yesterday. Worked Saturday night and than again yesterday. Needless to say I'm pretty tired. But as promised, here you go. Once you have created your ATC,(see post below), you can leave it as is, or turn it into a card, like this one, by adding layers of cardstock and adding to a card base.

Supplies used for this are as follows:

Stamps: Love Bandit, Well Scripted
Paper: Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Sweet Pea, Sending Love DSP's.
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Creamy Caramel
Accessories: real red grosgrain ribbon, eyelets
Tools: pinking hearts border

Were expecting 10-12" of snow here by tomorrow night. I sure hope their wrong, I am definitely ready for spring. During our expected snow storm, I plan on getting some Fun Stamping Time in.

Keep on stampin',
Sandy

ATC's

Happy Saturday,
For most of you, your either getting your chores done, enjoying a lazy afternoon or taking advantage of some Free Stamping Time. I. however have to get ready to go to work, so this is a short post. Some of the ladies in my stamp group have asked me what ATC's are and what you do with them.


ATC is short for Artist Trading Card. They are 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" in size. The picture above is a Trading Card. They are always traded and never sold. They are an expression of you. You can read more about them here

Supplies used for this card are listed below:

Stamps: Love Bandit, Well Scripted
Paper: Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Sweet Pea, Sending Love DSP's.
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Creamy Caramel
Accessories: real red grosgrain ribbon, eyelets
Tool: pinking hearts border

Tomorrow I will show you what else you can do after you have created your ATC.

Happy Stamping,
Sandy

Love You Much

Hi Stampers,
Today, just does not seem to be my day. You know, one of those days where you should not even get out of bed. I'm having computer problems and my scans are not coming out. I decided to post it anyway. This is a stair-step card. E-mail me if you need directions on how to make a stair-step. The birds are from the Love You Much Set, stamped twice, once on the whisper white CS and the other on real red, cut body out and used a dimensional to attach, the hearts are punched, using the heart punch and trio heart punch, the border is done with the eyelet scallop. The card base and grosgrain ribbon is chocolate chip.

Keep on Stampin',
Sandy
