Happy Little Stampers - April 2020 ATC Challenge - Make Your Own Background

Greetings & salutations crafty friends!

Hope all is safe and well in your corner of the world.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest ATC challenge from the team at HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS!

Our theme for the month of April is to make your own background.

I had a lot of fun with this one!

I started with a page from an old thesaurus, you can't see it in the finished ATC, but the page I chose was Adversity. I thought it was fitting for where we are at in the world right now, same for the FOCUS ON THE GOOD sentiment sticker.

I inked up the thesaurus page with spritzed distress inks, dried it with the heat gun, added a layer of vellum and ran the whole thing through the cuttlebug in the Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Lastly I inked up the edges of the ATC with Peacock Feathers distress ink for a pop of colour.

Shite I used to make this ATC:

• Cardboard ATC base
• Thesaurus page
• Vellum (Recollections)
• Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Peacock Feathers distress inks (Tim Holtz)
• Water spritzer (SU)
• Swiss Dots embossing folder (Provo Craft)
• I AM - Bits & Pieces (Simple Stories)
• I AM - Combo Cardstock Stickers (Simple Stories)
• I AM - Foam Stickers

As always we would love for you to take up the challenge and play along.

Happy Little Stampers March ATC Challenge - Critters

Greetings & salutations crafty friends!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out the latest challenge from the Happy Little Stampers ATC team!

This month our theme is critters...a bunny is a critter right?? I think??

I love the soft pretty colours in the I Love Spring collection from Echo Park...gives me some degree of hope that the snow, freezing rain and cold of winter won't last much longer here in Southern Ontario (wishful thinking).

I used the Springtime Plaid washi tape over a piece of white cardstock to create the background.

I wanted to give the base a pop of dimension, so I ran it through the cuttlebug in the swiss dots embossing folder.

Shite I used to create this ATC:

• Cardboard ATC base
• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Swiss Dots emobossing folder (ProvoCraft)
• I Love Spring collection by Echo Park
• design paper
• element stickers
• chipboard accents
• washi tape
• enamel dots

As always, we would love for you to play along with us!

I don't know about you, but I have made hundreds of holiday cards over the past few months! I am soooooooooo beyond ready to be crafty with anything that is NOT Christmas related.

That and I must be tired of the cold, freezing rain and snow here in Southern Ontario as I am wishin' I was on a beach somewhere or swimming with the mermaids!

Their theme is bling, which I reflected on my mermaid ATC in the sparkly seaweed glitter and the shiny heart brads.

Shite I used to make this ATC:

• Cardboard ATC base
• 2 1/2" circle punch
• Mermaid Dreams 6x6 paper pad (Echo Park)
• Mermaid Dreams ephemera (Echo Park)
• Green glittler glue (Dollarama)

Keep on swimmin' and thinkin' happy and warm thoughts!
