Ho Ho HO Merry Christmas 4x4 Chunky Pages

These are for a swap with the ATC's for All Forum. These 4 x 4 chunky pages are typical of my style - patterned papers, washi tape, vintage images, and bling.  I tried to used different styles of papers and images for these.  For the top and bottom chunky page I used the Pink Christmas collection from  Stamperia, for the second chunky page I used some Graphic 45's St. Nick Collection , Ythe third page was a combination of Echo Park's Merry and Bright collection and some Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera, while the 4th and 5th page had some found images, some bits from Tim holtz and some fun fringed trimmings.

APC's Kings - Postage Stamp

Altered Playing Cards

The theme or this deck is to use postage stamps in some way as we go through the entire deck of cards. I started with patterned papers and washi tape, then decided to find stamps with images of men for my kings and added a different hand drawn crown for each "king", which I colored with markers. 

APC's Kings - Birds

Altered Playing Cards

This swap is for a full deck, each month a different set of cards from the deck, this deck's theme is birds.  For my king set I tried to find birds that had a crown of feathers, layered some papers, added some ink work and some banners.

Ugly Sweater Pocket Letter

I drew 5 different ugly sweaters with Sharpie pen and colored them in with Sharpie markers.  Then I used my new die from Cottage Cutz and created some paper cut ugly sweaters, also the words came with that die - "Ugly but Cute". I added in some washi tape and bling to finish it off.

Paper Doll Pocket Letter - Christmas

I chose to use doll dingle paper dolls for this pocket letter.  She came with a gorgeous vintage Christmas tree. I found Tommy Tingle had a Santa suit, so could not resist adding him into the layout too.  To finish this one off I of course added lots of washi tape and bling.

Graphic 45 Christmas Pocket Letter

I used the St. Nick collection from Graphic 45 for this pocket letter. I did a lot of layering, having fun with their gorgeous patterned papers.  I added washi tape, bling, and some of the coordinating stickers and chipboard from this collection also.  On the side I tied on some ribbons and strings of pearls and dangled a couple of the chipboard tags from the ribbons.

Pink Christmas Pocket Letter

For this swap the theme was pink Christmas and I used a collection from Stamperia.  Love the vintage images which is what sold me on this collection and then when the pink Christmas swap came up, I knew it was the perfect fit!

I added some washi tape, some paper punched borders, fringed trim, bling, cardstock, and I used some foam tape to pop up a couple of the elements to add some depth.

APC's Aces - Postage Stamps

So I got to create my Aces all over again when they got lost in the mail, so here is my second set of Aces.  I decided to use horse stamps this time and I think I like this set better than my first one.

Patterned papers, cardstock, washi tape, and die cut flower images.

APC's Aces - Postage Stamps

Altered Playing Cards

Aces - for my postage stamps set of APC's I found these four stamps depicting Artisans and since that started with A I thought it would be a good choice for this set.  Patterned papers, layering with cardstock, washi tape, paper punched label shapes for the hand lettering.
