Sassy St. Patrick’s Art! New paper & Tim Holtz stamps! GREEN Sale!
Filed under Art Projects, Back in Stock, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale, Shannon Cooper
Cheers! ATCs with Shenanigans and Malarky by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper
Yes, these may be a bit too much for some of you, but (please!) just go with it! Shannon and I had fun finding just the right sentiments for this new collage sheet. Here’s an intro from Shannon’s blog post:
What do you get when you cross snarky sentiments and alcohol? Irish people! But also a really funny collage sheet from Alpha Stamps. Leslie made my wee heart happy with the new images! The problem, however, was choosing which ones to use for my project.
I ended up making five chunky ATCs — and after a pint of PBR, I decided they needed someplace to live, so I turned a Mini House Front Box into a mug-shaped caddy. [Scroll down just a bit to see the ATC caddy.]
 |
I ultimately decided to make ATCs because I really wanted to try out the new Alcohol Pearls. The inks were daubed on some Yupo paper, then I used stamp pads with a few stencils to make the backgrounds. Pretty simple application but the shimmer from the alcohol inks was impressive! The frames are free-hand cut (because at this point my beer was 3/4 finished so I forgot I owned a straightedge…) from nice card stock then spritzed with some shimmery spritzy stuff. The card stock I used for the cards is thick, with a nice texture, so I also used it to cover the side and back of the caddy.
To wrap up the day of mad crafting, I busted out the bumpy chenille stems and made two little dancing dudes that are getting their Irish on. This one is Seamus and he likes Riverdance. Seamus is accompanying me to the St. Patrick’s parade here in Savannah, so I know I won’t be pinched!
I love what Shannon has made! Check out the bow tie on Seamus, too: it’s one of the new Tiny Glittery Green Bow Ties (also shown at right). And scroll down a bit more (or come back after reading the rest of Shannon’s blog post — with a tutorial!) ’cause those bow ties and EVERYTHING GREEN is on SALE!

More New Goodies! (Love those Vintage Papers!)
Yes, those first 2 photos in the 2nd row really are paper! Laser-cut printed cardstock in beautiful vintage designs (and this 12×12 paper pad is from the coordinating collection)! Plus those 2 new Tim Holtz rubber stamp sets are perfect for adding a bit of faded, old tile (or wallpaper) to the edges of a scene or a collage!
