🌸 Spring ATC Small-Format Inspiration with Chris🌸

We are back with more inspiration featuring our newest ATC Packs: Retro Femme, Color Me Spring, and Whimsical Homes. Today, Chris shows us how easily these tiny artist trading cards can be incorporated into stunning, fully realized card designs. 🎨✨

Let’s take a look at Chris’s gorgeous projects:

1️⃣ Retro Snark 🕶️💄

Chris began with a captivating portrait ATC from the Retro Femme pack. To frame the retro imagery, she used the crazy double running stitch die on vibrant red cardstock, layering it over a black mat. For the background, she stamped the large blossom sprays #1 directly onto the white card base, leaving it uncolored. The card is finished with the perfectly matched Some Snark sentiment: "I speak fluent sarcasm." 😂👏

2️⃣ Springtime Tulips 🌷☀️

For her second card, Chris focused on the lovely tulips ATC from the Color Me Spring pack. She built a detailed, textured background by layering a soft delicate links stencil pattern over the blue card base. She used the crazy double running stitch die again to create a crisp frame. The stamped sentiment, "YOUR Awesomeness OVERWHELMS ME," adds the perfect finishing touch! 🌷✨

3️⃣ Whimsical Circle Welcome 🏠☕

For her final card, Chris featured one of the charming structures from the Whimsical Homes ATC pack. She created a fun, repetitive background pattern using the circles all over texture plate. By simple-layering the colored ATC focal point, she let the texture shine. The card is completed with the welcoming and cozy "welcome" sentiment. 🏠🌈

Retro Vibes 🕶️🎨

Tanja went for a cool, artsy look with this card featuring an ATC from the Retro Femme pack. She built a layered background using stamps from the Mixed Media Grunge set. For the sentiment, she added "you are enough" clear sticker, completing the vibrant, retro feel of the design. ✨😎

🌸 Spring Into Art: Vicki’s Trio Featuring Our Newest ATC Packs! ✨🏡

Our spring release is here, and it is all about variety! We are so excited to highlight three brand new ATC packs: Whimsical Homes, Color Me Spring, and Retro Femme. Vicki has been working her magic with these new arrivals, showing off how perfectly they play with our collage papers, stencils, and dies. 🎨✂️

Here’s a closer look at Vicki’s gorgeous projects:

Whimsical Homes & Botanical Beats 🏠🌿

In this first card, Vicki paired an ATC from the Whimsical Homes pack with a lush background featuring a sheet from the Botanical Beats collage paper pack. The sketchy, playful architecture of the home sits beautifully against the botanical collage print. For the finishing touch, she added a crisp sentiment die-cut from our Skinny Sentiments dies. 📐✨

A Double Dose of Color Me Spring 🌷💖

Vicki doubled up on the floral fun for her second project! She used two different designs from the Color Me Spring ATC pack, layering them to create a vibrant, botanical-focused layout. To keep the focus on the beautiful spring imagery, she added a simple and sweet hugs word die sentiment. 🌸🙌

Retro Femme & A Bold Statement 👩‍🦱🌀

For her final card, Vicki showcased the Retro Femme ATC pack. She chose one of the stylish faces, die-cut it into a perfect circle, and layered it over a background created with the patches stencil. The sentiment for this powerful design was pulled from the Powerful Women ATC pack, creating a bold, artistic statement. 🎨💪

🎨 Reminder: Show Us Your Best in Our March Anything Goes Challenge! ✨

We're less than a couple of weeks before March is over, but there's still plenty of time to get your craft on! We’ve been blown away by the entries so far in our March Anything Goes Challenge, and today we’re back with a massive dose of inspiration from the STAMPgirls to keep those creative juices flowing. 🌈✂️

Whether you’re into clean and simple cards, gritty mixed media, or colorful art journaling, our challenge is the perfect place to showcase what you’ve been working on. Remember, it’s "Anything Goes," so the sky is the limit! ☁️🚀

Take a look at these stunning projects from our talented designers:

TANJA

Tanja went for a sophisticated, high-contrast look by leaving the hibiscus as a crisp, black-and-white stamped focal point. She layered the fussy-cut flower over a stenciled background, providing a subtle organic texture. The card is perfectly anchored by the awesome word die, proving that you don't need a rainbow of colors to create an impactful design. 🌺⚫⚪

JANE

Jane highlights the soft, aged beauty of the Faded Botanicals collage paper by using it as both background and fussy cutting two flowers from a sheet. She kept the layout focused,  creating layers. The card is finished with a scripty happy birthday die-cut sentiment, making for a sophisticated and timeless design. 🌿📜✨

SANNA

Sanna created a playful design with a softly stenciled background and two bright red, fussy-cut light bulbs. She added hand-drawn wires to make the bulbs appear as if they are hanging over a scattering of stamped hearts. The card is finished with a coordinating sentiment. 💡❤️✨

VICKI

Vicki used a sepia-toned sheet from the Botanical Beats collage paper pack for a warm, vintage background. She finished the card with a bold black "thanks" die-cut for a clean and focused look. 📜🌿✨

CRAFTYFIELD

Craftyfield created a traveler’s dream by coloring images from the Born To Roam stamp set and layering them over a vintage map background. She used the Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies to cut the panel for a perfectly matted, dimensional look. 🗺️🎒✨

SUE N

Sue created a softly stenciled background, layering the uncolored, stamped cherry blossom cluster directly over it. She finished the card with a simple stamped Thank You sentiment. 🌸🌿✨

Shirley

Shirley created a textured background, layering a delicate die-cut dragonfly as her focal point. The card is finished with a simple stamped sentiment. 🦋✨

MONIKA

Monika created a layered masterpiece for her mini album using Faded Botanicals collage paper. She added depth with stamps from Floral Bliss and Mixed Media Elements, and die-cutting luggage tags to insert in the pockets. 🦋📜✨
