Kitchen Sink Monday - ATC's

It's Monday again, and that means it's time for another Crew Challenge from Kitchen Sink Stamps!  This time, it's my turn to host the challenge!  I picked a challenge that challenged the heck outta' me!  I asked everyone to create an ATC (Artist Trading Card) with their Kitchen Sink Stamps, and then incorporate it into a card.  It was challenging for me because I've never made an ATC before!  But here's what I created...

ATC's are traditionally 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" in measurement.  The white cardstock on mine measures 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" and the pink layer is just an 1/8" bigger all around.  Then I discovered that I could cut out 2 scalloped rectangles with my Nestabilities, and layer them to make the rectangle just a smidge longer, and the ATC fit!

And here's my ATC on a finished card.

Kitchen Sink Monday - You're a Doll!

Once again it's Monday and that means another Kitchen Sink Monday!  Today I have used the brand-new, recently released set called Nesting Dolls!  The FIRST stamp set Maria has designed for those of us (like me!) who love to color!

I used the Weekend Sketch Challenge #72 for the layout, and some fun flowers! I wasn't too sure of my combination of flowers at first but now I love how different each one is.  I hope you like it, too!

Thank You

Not a lot of time to spare today, as having a "snow day" yesterday put me behind on prepping for my Stamp Buffet at work, but I thought I'd quickly share another of the cards that my customers will be making.  This is super-quick to make, but really fun as this clear set from Stampendous has many different sentiments that you can use, and there are so many design possibilities with the brackets!

Hope you're having a great day, and that those of you buried under all the snow (like us!) are getting shoveled out!  Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Stamps:  Blossoms & Brackets (Stampendous)
Cardstock:  Tutu Pink (Bazzill), cream (Gary Burlin), designer paper (Kaiser Craft)
Ink:  Momento Lady Bug (Tsukineko)
Accessories:  corner rounder punch (EK Success), rhinestones (Kaiser Craft).

P.S.  For those of you wondering, I went with the green gingham on the apple card!  Many of you made very valid points why the black or the green was the better choice.  I really liked the black better, but still thought the green looked good and since that's what I actually ordered, I decided to use it!  Thanks for all the input!  I appreciated your help very much!
