Happy Birthday Brother in Law!

Today's post is not the springy posts I've been posting this week. Today's post is a card I made for my brother in law. I used an ATC card from a swap I was in. This beautiful ATC card was made by Tammy Reidy. I thought it was perfect for a male inspired birthday card. I used ribbon from my stash, and the stamped sentiment is from a Stampin Up set. I also had some embossed card panels in my stash for the base. I made this card for my brother in law, Kevin. He and my sister are enjoying themselved in Las Vegas right now!!! I told them to stuff me in their suitcases! They didnt like that idea! HAHA! Have a Happy Hump Day everyone!

My very first ATC card

Good Morning to all of my fellow followers!

Today I am showing you a picture of my very first ATC card I made for a swap that I am in. If you are wondering- "What does ATC mean?" Well ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. They are 2.5"x3.5" in size. They come decorated, and artists trade them.

The theme I had to use was something using the first letter of your first name. Well, mine is "J". So, I had this cute stamp sitting right in front of me- Lord knows I was thinking on what to do for the letter J for a while now!- so I saw it and ran with it. This is what I came up with. I used StazOn Olive Green ink, Stampin Up grosgrain ribbon,chalked the edges another one of my favorite things to do, used my own decorated skittles, a flower made with sizzix sizzlits Floral Fusion, and run through the big kick with Stampin Up's perfect polkadots. I then secured them with a brad and decorated the brad with glitter. I really am falling in love with this JoAnn Craft Essentials Glitter! It looks like sugar! ENABLER ALERT: JoAnn's has this glitter on sale for buy one get one 50% off from March 7th- March 13th!
