I have always loved Christmas so our theme for this month was easy - Christmas in July !! We are halfway to the holidays Many crafty companies have sales this time of year to help you get ready . And Celeste and I are here with our creative holiday inspiration to help you too ..
For my card this week, I made an ATC Coin with products from Paper House Productions . I wanted to show that you do not have to do lots of elaborate, stamping, cutting etc. when making your holiday cards. I love this card and will probably create many of this layout for Christmas. In fact, I have already made 6 !! ATC coins are like Artist Trading Cards ( which are rectangular ) and are a 2.5" circle that you decorate any way you'd like . People make them, swap them, use them on cards etc...
- All supplies to decorate the ATC coin are from Paper House Productions .
- I used a 2.5 " paper punch to create several circles with Strathmore Watercolor Paper.
- Red Wood Double-sided paper was also used to make some 2.5" circles.
- I adhered the wood paper to a watercolor paper circle.
- Merry & Bright II 3D Stickers were placed on the wood paper to create a scene. I love that car sticker with the Christmas tree !! I also used the word JOY and a star.
- A snowflake and snow dot from Snowmen Puffy Stickers were placed on the ATC coin.
- I adhered the completed ATC coin to a ready-made Christmas card base that I have been hoarding for years. It looks like layers of patterned papers, borders and ribbon !! I think it was from DCWV.
Fabulous card Deb! Love the cool, vintage vibe. I especially love that your coffee mug has that same vibe!
