I've been doing a bit of sorting, so there isn't much on my work desk except this lovely ATC from Hettie.Now I'm thinking  need to make an atc display something, beit a binder or something for the wall.

Action ATC

Simon Says Anything Goes, so it's an Action ATC.  The pocket is made with Papertrey Ink's Library Pocket die, stamped with a detail stamp from Altenew's Painted Flowers stamp set using Papertrey Ink's Soft Stone inkpad. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Studio Style.

The card is made with two layers of Stamper's Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink die cut with Monthly Moments Mini Journal Card die and with 3/4" punch holes for the finger "feet".

The chicken is from Stampin' Up's Cheerful Critters painted with Scattered Straw and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. The background is from Iron Orchid Designs Build-A-Frame II stamped with Spun Sugar Distress Stain. The Umbrella Man is from Tim Holtz' Purely Random Stamp set stamped with Papertrey Ink Melon Berry. The pants are made from another journal card stamped with the Library Card mini (with more Melon Berry) doodled around the edge and then edged with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

Rosey Thank You

This week Simon Says Thank You. I used one of the roses from the Altenew Vintage Roses stamp set stamped in Melon Berry, Raspberry Pink, Autumn Rose and Dark Chocolate Papertrey Inks. It's the same stamp tipped in three directions. I found the layers easy to line up, and forgiving in the practice runs lol. The Thank You sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Say It With Style stamp set.

Happy 6th Deskers : D. On my desk today my new Altenew Vintage Rose set.  Instead of pale pink, I used Melon Berry, and I'm loving the combo (Melon Berry, Raspberry Fizz, Autumn Rose and Dark Chocolate). Living boldly as I sometimes do, I'm just stamping a line freestyle lol.

To the back is my large koi stamp., some maze die cuts, a custom inkpad, two fun foam diecuts.. You can also see my first foray into the Tim Holtz world of tags.

Papertrey Ink May 2015 Blog Hop

This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop inspiration is Wood Blocks. I couldn't get "block heads" out of my mind, so I put them on a card. For the second time in as many weeks I made a card without a single stamp. The cardbase is an A2 size piece of Stamper's Select White. The blocks are made of textured white Club Scrap cardstock, that has been throughly inked with Blueberry Skies, Ocean Tides and Simply Chartreuse ink pads. The legs are drawn on with a black marker. The bottom is edged with Soft Stone. Foam tape is used to pop up two of the blocks.

I've been using my stencils a lot more since I put them in page protectors (Avery Elle 100/$10 on amazon). A better view than usual of my two tier lazy susans. The one with the Distress Inks also has a glass cake holder and organizing cups. There's a set of birthday cards in re-used packaging to be sent to my father's widow. And some card stock halves ready to be put to use.

I've got two more "DIY Kraft Resist" tags to make (molding and wendy veechi white embossing paste). The ones I've made so far from left to right: Versamark (plain and with clear embossing powder), translucent texture paste matte, translucent embossing paste, crackle texture paste, versamark with clear embossing powder with Picket Fence and Festive Berries Distress Stains.
