I have really been enjoying making ATCs again lately. They are the perfect quick and easy project to get my craft fix when I'm super busy. I have been obsessed over UmWowStudio Chipboard (and flair) lately. This "Fly" piece is chipboard that I covered with gesso and really thick & chunky black glitter. The owner of UmWowStudio , the super-talented DeeDee Catron has graciously given me a discount code to share with my viewers. Just use code JennE20 at checkout and get 20% off your whole order! The chipboard is super high quality and it has a darker finish than a lot of chipboard and wood veneer you see around. Which is what I love about it. Plus, they have so many cool and unique pieces to choose from.

This is a Valentine ATC I made to play along with the Lindy’s Stamp Gang Color Challenge for February .   This is the Challenge color inspiration for this month: In the video, I don't show how I made the background or the heart embellishments. I will try my best to explain my process. Be sure to check out the supply list below! The Background: How I Made the Hearts: First, I put down some freezer paper. Then I took the Crafter's Workshop "Spilled Hearts" Stencil and some Golden Molding Paste. I applied the molding paste (in a fairly thick layer) thru the stencil right onto the freezer paper. Then, I let the hearts dry for at least 12 hours until they were completely dry. When they were dry, I used a thin metal spatula to get underneath the hearts and picked them up. It is important the paste is completely dry because if it’s not, they will get ruined when you try to peel them up off the freezer paper. Et voila! Instant heart embellishments.    ...

I love making Gelli Prints, but I have a really hard time using the prints on projects. I end up with stacks and stacks just sitting there. So today, I challenged myself to actually use the Gelli prints I made.   I used the lighter color print for background. All I had to add was some darker colored stenciling and it was done!   My Instgram friend Debbie (@debbiekenn) suggested using the prints to make embellishments. Stamping on them like I did here, making flowers, or paper piecing. That got my mind racing with ideas!   I also like to only make a few prints at a time. This way, they don't stack up and become overwhelming.   How do you use your Gelli Prints?    Check out the process video for this ATC: Product List: For the Gelli Printing: Gelli Plate 8x10: http://amzn.to/20Cbqt7 Printer Paper: http://amzn.to/20CbCZo Neenah Solar White 130lb Cardstock: http://amzn.to/1kABF1Z Cream Colored Envelopes: http://amzn.to/1XW4mFi...
