Craft Example: Creepy Crawly ATC  

Thursday, June 29, 2006

Thought it might be a good time to put up some craft projects Kimmi has done over the last few months. Enjoy !

This a real cool ATC ( Artist Trading Card ) that Kimmi made just a week ago for a friend. This "Creep And Crawl" card was made with multiple collage layers applied to very heavy card stock that had been cut to size. She acquired most of the collage pieces from the newspaper and various collage image sheets that she has. The finishing touch, of course, is the fiber (yarn) scarf.

As a side note, Artist Trading Cards are typically 1 of 1 pieces of mini-art that the artist names, signs, dates, and then gives to another. Rubber stamping, painting, drawing, paper piercing, embellishments, and many other craft techniques can be used to make an ATC. (more on ATC's in a future article)

Craft Example: Butterfly Duet Greeting Card  

Thought it might be a good time to put up some craft projects Kimmi has done over the last few months. Enjoy !

This is a handmade greeting card that Kimmi made in the Spring to use for some of her Summer RAK's. This is a bright, cheerful card made with the Posh Impressions Butterfly Kisses duet rubber stamp set.

The background is white, glossy card stock distressed in a yellow ink with multiple "quick stampings" of the solid butterfly. That is then applied to a flat black card stock with a flat black card stock band. The center image is the solid butterfly stamp with the black outline stamped over the top. This is done on bright white card stock. Kim used Marvy Markers to ink the stamps as opposed to a stamp pad.
