Happy Little Stampers, ATC Challenge, Anything Goes With A Set Of Three

It's 'Anything Goes With A Set Of Three' over on the Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge today...

Here's a close up of each coin...

*

You'll need two coins for this project. (The top layer has been cut from cereal box card and the bottom layer from Silver 'Mirri' Card).

With a piece of sand paper, gently scratch away some of the top layer on the Mirri card using a back and forth motion.
(That's the bottom layer finished)!

Apply White Gesso to the cereal box layer and leave to dry.

Then cut out the Sizzix Thinlits Circle Words (Tim Holtz).

Stamp the left foliage image using Memento 'Olive Grove'.
Once dry, stamp over again using Ranger 'Perfect Medium'.
Then add Clear Embossing Powder, heat set and leave to cool.

Stamp right foliage image using Holtz/Distress 'Forest Moss'.

Then add snow spots using Holtz/Distress 'Weathered Wood'.

Using a Memento 'Tuxedo Black' marker, add "strings" for the bauble to hang by before gluing down the top of the bauble itself.

Now glue the two layers together and spray using Glitter Varnish.

Add some die cut snowflakes... then print off the text.

Cut text to size, distress edges and then add Holtz/Disress 'Dusty Concord', 'Seedless Preserves' and 'Hickory Smoke' around the edges.

Spray with varnish to seal the ink, then glue into place as shown.

Add white acrylic paint to the edges.

Craft Consortium, Over The Hedge, CAS Card Trio

I'm back today sharing the cards I made to go in the Card Organiser I posted online earlier this week...

As you can see, these are very simple to make!

One design concept.

Three different looks.

All CAS to some degree or other.

But hopefully a nice way to introduce the 'Over The Hedge' characters to you if you haven't seen them already!

Which is your favourite... Olivia, Harry or Henry?

These little cuties are all toppers you can find on the inner cover of the 12x12 paper pad.

But don't forget, Craft Consortium also have them available as printed wooden characters or as clear stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Craft Consortium, Over The Hedge, Card Organiser

I've created a cute little hedgehog Card Organiser to share with you today, using the new

Over The Hedge goodies that Craft Consortium have added to their store...

I've used a mix of toppers from the paper pad, those gorgeous wooden printed animal embellishments, some of the clear stamps from the three (yes, three) stamp sets that make up part of this new product line, a few odds and ends from other product ranges that Craft Consortium sell, some die cut shapes from my personal stash, a few hand drawn spiders... and some inked over Texture Paste to create a mini path!

This is Part 1 of a two part post... the second half of which I'll include later in the week so that you can get a better look at those distressed cards!
