Home Sweet Home ATC Swap

I signed up for a swap over at the cricut MB. It's been such a long time since I've done a swap. An ATC is an "Artist Trading Card" and the base needs to be 3 1/2" x 2 1/2".

I used an Inkadinkadoo stamp set for the birds and birdhouse. I stamped the birdhouse twice. Once on blue paper and once on brown textured paper then cut them out and added the brown trim and hole. The birds were stamped on brown paper with buttercream stazon and then I used an I-rock gem used on the eyes. The branch is from the Create A Critter cartridge. The "Home Tweet Home" is from a Technique Tuesday stamp set. I used the D'vine Swirls cuttlebug folder for the background. Cardstock is from Stampin' Up!; Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, So Saffron and Brocade Blue.

Here is the back of the ATC with all my info. I used the same stamp set to stamp the theme on it, but had to change the Tweet to Sweet by handwriting an "S". I hope they like them. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

Stamping my own background paper

I have a ton of paper for scrapbooking and card making, but sometimes I still like to design my own. Here is a piece of paper I stamped and then some items I made out of it. 

Stampin' Up! inks used were Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Kiwi Kiss

Stampin' Up! scallop border punch

This little birdie is from the Create A Critter cartridge

This sentiment is from the Doodletype cartridge. I also used the Sizzix Top note die from Stampin' Up!

This sentiment is from the Stamping cartridge

I decorated a pillow box here and made a tag (Stampin' Up! die cut and punches)

Here all all the items using one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper
