Easter ATC by Chris W

Here's a simple little ATC you can make and trade with your ATC friends for Easter.


Using this lovely little Easter die and stamp set it literally took minutes to make. I also used an ATC die to cut the board it's made with. (The Tim Holtz ATC die with corners is in the sale at a snip of a price at £6.99!!!!!) Cover your ATC with paper then cut the chick, the eggs, the grass and the letters. Stamp a couple of chicks onto shrink plastic, colour and shrink with your heat gun. Speckle the eggs using glimmer mists or spray inks then colour the grass with Distress markers. Tuck one of the eggs behind the grass to the bottom left and  glue into place (portrait orientation). Add the other egg to the right and glue into place followed by he chick, centred. The two little 'shrunk' chicks can be placed over the grass to the left. Simply cut your letters using an alphabet die and highlight the letters with a white pen. Hey presto, you're done!

Hope you're having fun making your Easter goodies, please stop by again soon.

'Which came first?' Easter card by Chris W

The quirky little chick and eggs Easter set of dies & stamps by Stephanie Barnard at Sizzix is very versatile and to prove it I'll be blogging a number of pieces using them on the run up to Easter. The first is this simple Easter card...


As well as using the Easter set, I've used the fabulous Sizzix Harvest Bucket (Originals) die. This has been retired now, which is a great shame, and it's in the sale at the ridiculous price of £4.99. There aren't many left so grab it whilst you can, it's been a firm favourite of mine for years!

The card itself is very easy to make so even the newest newbie can attempt it (click HERE to view, download or print the instructions). Using ink sprays or glimmer mists to 'speckle' the eggs is effective and it's just a case of layering them behind the bucket.


The cheeky little chick just finishes the card off. It definitely reminds me of the saying "What came first, the chicken or the egg", lol.

Thanks for stopping by, feel free to comment if you have the time.
