Ann used the Wrinkle Free Technique with Distress Paints. Stamped randomly using Tim Holtz FADED TYPE and BITTY GRUNGE stamp sets. Added the cat using Tim Holtz Sizzix MISCHIEVOUS Thinlits Dies and sentiment using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps TINY TEXT. 

Andrea made a bright bold ATC featuring Seth Apter’s Twisters die set. She cut the ATC card shape from Tim Holtz’s Collector die set. She also used Tim Holtz’s Theories stamp set for the sentiment. She added some dimension and grittiness from Paper Artsy Infusions Color Stain.

Anna-Karin made two butterfly ATCs which connect together on both sides. The butterflies were stamped with Tim Holtz Stamper’s Anonymous Perspective and Flutter stamp sets. Prismacolor pencils were used to color the butterflies. The large sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Butterflies.

Barbara created a series of ATCs dedicated to autumn.
She used two Tim Holtz Sizzix dies: Skeleton Leaves and Leaf Fragments to cut the leaves. For the colors, she chose Ranger Ink Mini Distress Oxide Ink Pads in warm tones and added a small pattern to each ATC using various mini stencils from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.

Cheiron created a trio of inspiring animal ATCs using the Dina Wakley Circle Furbabies stamps. She stamped, cut and colored them with Scribble Sticks and Neon Scribble Sticks. She added them to her ATC cards that were covered with gelli printed papers, added some dots with a white Posca pen and added quotes cut from the Typed Ledgers. To complete them she attached some cut out tiny hearts with a Tiny Attacher.

Kath created a trio of ATC Christmas Gift Card holders using Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Large Christmas Collage Strips, Flashcards, Postmarked and Christmas Sticker Books and Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Texture Paste Twinkle with Stampers Anonymous Starry, Snowflakes and Poinsettia Layering Stencils to add texture and Simon Says Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter Medium to add a snowy look.

Macarena made a set of ATC’s staying in a vacation mood and using as a background Stencil Girl Kintsugi stencil, then stamped with Tim Holtz Field Notes, The Professor and Glitch 2 elements to add depth. She also used an almost perfectly fitting frames from 49 and Market Vintage Orchard Stacked Frames set.

Maura made a duo of girl themed ATC’s using 3Quarter Designs Eclectic Clockwork Tuck and Play Cards, Tim Holtz Paper Dolls, and may have been a bit too free with the Simon Says Stamp White Splatter since all the girls look like they’ve been house painting.

Meihsia was inspired to create 3 ATCs using Dare 2B Artzy Trick or Treat Clear Stamp Set on the background, and colored it with Copic SKETCH 72 PC SET B Markers and Ranger Dylusions Crushed Grape Shimmer Spray.

Zoey made this mixed media atc duo using Distress Spray Stain and collage paper from the ideaology collection. To decorate it, she used Altenew Art Nature Splashes and Words from Mindful Moments
