Birdie Flies Off AND a Flash Sale on Sepia Photos!
Filed under Anthology ATC Mailer Kit, Art Projects, Bella Ayers, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale, Tutorials
Birdie Flies Off – ATC Mailer by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (Kimberly Ayers)!
 |
Bella made this fun set of ATCs (and decorated ATC Envelope Folder) using the Anthology ATC Mailer Kit — and mixing up images from the Tim Holtz Sepia Vintage Paper Dolls with other (more colorful) collage sheet images.
I love that toddler sitting on the bird in the ATC above! Let’s start with some text from Bella’s blog post:
I love the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls. They’re already fussy-cut out, ready to go and you get a ton of them with assorted sizes of the same images. Still prefer to fussy-cut my own stuff, but when my hands hurt from arthritis sometimes it’s easier to just grab one that’s already done.
When the mailer is opened up and if your ATC is in the vertical position, it almost looks like a little stage in the middle. Display the mailer standing up, and add a couple characters! They easily store in the ATC envelope along with the ATC.
There really was no rhyme or reason with the mailer. I loved the papers in the kit, collage sheets that came with it so decided to just go with what I liked. Nope. Didn’t care one bit if everything matched or “went” with each other. Doing it that way was a lot more fun than fretting over a set theme. Also, there are many imperfections with the finished mailer and lemme tell ya – sometimes you just have to let that insane desire for perfection shit fly right out the window. Embrace the imperfections!
Ah… Bella. Note: there are some good tips about decorating the ATC Envelope Folder on Bella’s blog post (including a workaround for an evil cat jumping up on the work table… a bit NSFW but what do you expect)?
