Many years ago, my sister (-in-law), Judy, Retired2stamp, invited me to a Stampin' Up Party. I was drawn to the 6X6 recipe card swap our local group was doing and had wanted to scrapbook too. I wasn't really interested in card making because I had witnessed my brother (in-law) Ed fold up a handmade card and put it in his pocket. I almost fainted and I didn't even make the card. But after a few parties, I was hooked and now make more cards than I had ever thought I would. My most recent passions are ATCs, tags & altered art. As you look through my blog I hope you can see how I've grown in my crafting ability!

Snowman Photo Shoot
This ATC was for a swap at our 3rd annual NEPA Stamp & Swap "Let It Snow" Event. & I made 13 of them. I was looking through Pinterest for a little inspiration & this tag by Michelle Short of The Card Groto (2nd project on the page) took my eye. Of course I put my own spin on them using Tim's new snowman stamp.
After I cut the 2 layers of card stock, I lined them up & held them together with repositionable masking tape. Using the larger die, I cut the center from both layers at the same time so they would be the same when assembled.
Using distress ink, I stenciled on the top layer. I've fallen in love with these mini stencils!
I cut the stencil film & frosted film 2X2 to fit behind the window. I stamped the snowman on the stencil film using black StazOn then on the back, colored the hat & carrot nose. I decided to put a piece of frosted film behind the snowman for a snowy effect.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, tore the edges then inked them with SU Baja Breeze to match the CS..
I painted the mitten embellishments, let it dry a little then wiped some of the apint off. It was then tied with a piece of heavy thread.
Hope you enjoyed my latest ATC projtect. TFL!!
