Things With Wings - ATCs by Bibi


Hello everyone! Just recently I did two things that I rarely do: I joined a swap AND I made ATCs! 

The reason why I don't make ATCs very often is that the size is so small - I'm just not used to creating anything of that size (635 mm x 890 mm /3.5 x 2.5 inches). But - I do love a good challenge, so I scratched my head for a couple of weeks ... and once I got going it was quite fun!

The theme was "Things With Wings" and we had to make three different ATCs. Here are mine, all made with stamps from my own company.






Letter stamps from unknown ... (let me know if you know which company!)
I really like those, so I guess I could make something similar - perhaps a bit bigger, though...

 I cut the wings out so they stand up:


For another swap (same hostess), I made this postcard
using stamps from Quietfire Design (calligraphy sentiment) and Cherry Pie Art Stamps:


Thanks for stopping by today!

Till next time, be good and ... remember to leave room in your garden for the faeries to dance, OK? What exactly would that mean to you? Let us know in the comments below
- I'd love to hear your thoughts!

 XOX,
Bibi

Careful, Bibi...ATCs are very addictive! These are fabulous. Where are you trading?

Space in my garden for faeries? I think they would love to shimmy under my big rhubarb leaves and when they vamoose, they are welcome to dance under my large ferns. :)

Wow - these are really wonderful Bibi. What neat things with wings!! Totally made me laugh - take your nosewings and fly!!! Love that one just because it's unique!! And the colors are gorgeous too. I have made one ATC Bibi and it was fun once I finally got started but I have almost lost it twice now - eheheheh!!! Your fairies are soooo sweet. You know... somehow I never read about fairies when I was young... and have never been a fairy or even princess type gal. I have some hanging baskets - I guess they might be able to come "swing" awhile if sitting in them on a windy day!!! That's about as far as my imagination for fairy gardens go!!! Hugs. j.

Stunning Bibi!! You need to make ATC's more often. They each have such a different feel to them! From the vintage to the nosewings ... just amazing :) Love your compositions. -- Mary Elizabeth

Hi Bibi, I am feeling very ATC at the moment and these are so beautiful. Such different styles. Plenty room for everyone to dance in the garden this year due to a total lack of anything. OK, the weeds are doing well. It's been a difficult year for vegetables so the fairies would be very welcome. Haven't swapped any ATC's for ages...... Hugz

Oh yes, Bibi! These ATS's of yours were absolutely fantastic. I especially enjoyed the nosewings and the faeries. I have plenty of room in the garden for the faeries to dance :) Just the thought that they are dancing in my garden makes me happy :D Thank you for sharing happiness, Bibi <3
You are a great inspiration!

Lovely ATC's, you're doing them like a pro... I have some space for faeries in my garden, like the overgrown grass (mostly weeds) and wild flowers (also weeds)....

Yes, I believe ATCs can be addictive ....

Thank you so much for your comments and kind words, everyone! ♥
I do read them all (of course!) and I really appreciate it!! :-)))

It's interesting to see that everyone takes the faeries quote literally... myabe I don't since I don't have a garden as such (I have huge deck with pots and boxes filled with flowers). When I first saw that stamp by Quietfire, I interpreted it to mean that I should make place for fun and play in my life - in-between work and other obligations. But of course, if there is such a thing as faeries I'd love for them to play and dance in my flower pots, too! :-)

Thanks again, all you lovely people!

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
