Christmas Angel

Christmas Angel 2015

Sorry my card is not straight, I had problems with my hands I guess. It is the start of Scrap Land challenge #28 and this challenge is all about embossing you can do dry or heat. As you can see I did dry embossing with one of Cuddlebug folders called snowflakes. It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your card/project that are from Scrapy Land store. They carry 40 different kinds of dies cuts. The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land. All of the challenges are Bi-Weekly.

I see the reds look a little different, I guess it must be because of the lighting. I purchased several sheets of this paper awhile back and I do not know who makes it but it is stunning with all the red glitter on it.

ATC’s at Twisted Thursday Challenge

Pumpkin Peek 2015 ATC  c
Welcome to The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the challenge is always anything goes but with a twist and the twist for this week is to make a ATC card. Stop by and see the ATC’s cards the designers made, they did a wonderful job. It has been many years since I have done any Artist Trading card. I use to do them all the time. I belonged to several clubs and had a lot of fun receiving all the different ATC’s from all over the world. If you do not know what an ATC’s is here is a little history about them and I’m sure there is a lot more but this is what I could fine on the internet.  
ATC Stands for Artist Trading Card
You never sell or buy any ATC you always trade them. The size for then is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 always. They are miniature works of art. They are called inches. The idea of making ATC's was born in 1897 by a Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann. He wanted to document his work, and the work of others at the conference and discovered that the cost was far to grand to print a catalogue of the 1,200 participants. Stirnemann decided to create 1,200 cards by hand so that he could distribute them to everyone who attended the art show. Everyone was encouraged to do the same and at the end of the show the ATC's were traded. This was a very successful idea that rapidly spread across the world. Your theme can be anything.
On the backs of ATC's the artist always put their name, contact information, name of the ATC and they numbered them. Like if they made 3 of the same ATC they would put 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, this way you knew how many of that ATC were made.
Our wonderful sponsor for the month of October is Stitchy Bear. The image I choose to use is called Pumpkin Kitty Peek KK.

The die cuts I used are impression obsession small Leaves DIE-095. The paper I used when I cut out the leaves was from some of my Gelli plate paper I made. The background paper was from when I use to do ATC’s it is some I had left over. Put some stars on the background from Stampendous stickers. I cut out all the pumpkins and used a pop up to raise it up. Add some Wink of Stella Clear. Added some glossy accents. The Kitty punch is from Carl’s and the ghost has no name on it. Sorry!

You really need to be proud of me and you might ask why???? My scrap ben is getting very low, all the cards I have been making I have used my scraps and even for most of my die cuts. I do have to say for my solid scraps I do still have a lot but my pattern papers is so low. The spellbinder used to cut out the image is called labels 40, for some reason I really like this one and it is a good size for a lot of my images.

How do you like my mouse? I found him with all my kitty stuff and how fun was that! This is the inside of the card. I know I went a little crazy with the kitty theme but I was having so much fun. The sentiments on the inside my friend made for me, she works at a trophy store and these are the scraps they put in the garbage. She is such a sweetheart to do this for me. I found this pink ribbon and I loved it so I had to add it to the inside. Pink works? right? The kitties down on the ribbon are buttons and I cut off the backs. I can not forget my kitty brad I got them at the convention this summer and though they where so cute.
