My interest in creating ATCs continues unabated. I enjoy working small for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that you can complete an ATC in very little time. For anyone who has time constraints, ATCs can be a wonderful option when you want the satisfaction of creating AND finishing in the time you have available. If you have more than a little time, creating in a series where your ATCs are either the same (great for a round robin or group trade) or reasonably similar is fun too. Assembly-lining many of the steps means you can get more done in a shorter amount of time.
Of course I’m going to use stencils as part of my creative process and I’m really excited to announce that we have a new group of our Itty Bitty ATC Stencils debuting today – 13 of them – a baker’s dozen! In today’s video you’ll catch a glimpse of each of them as I work through a variety of techniques. I had fun designing the new stencils and even more creating with them.
You’ll also see some finished ATCs that I was able to complete as I worked through the pieces for the video. Remember, ATCs are quick to make up and enormously gratifying. With our Itty Bitty ATC Stencils you can add texture, pattern, and color with a simple application of a spray, a dab of paint, or even an Art Crayon!

Thank you Mary!
Those new stencils are fabulous! You may be an Oversprayer, but you pulled the rabbit out of the hat, Barb.
Thanks Diana! :+)
I love the new Itty Bitty stencil designs. And, they are so easy to take with me on my travels. Thanks!
Ah, portability. I didn’t even consider that, but you’re right. Thanks for the idea!
You always bring SUNSHINE into my day and these are no exception. THANK YOU for ALL that you share.
You’re welcome… and thanks for taking a moment to say such nice things!
Although I don’t work with paper anymore (I knit mostly nowadays), I enjoy the video’s very much every week!
I wish I had more time to do other crafty things!

Thanks Jolande. It’s wonderful to know you still get to enjoy the videos!
I like your videos. Usually I learn something new or you remind me of a technique I haven’t used in awhile or an old technique with a twist. You are interesting and concise. This atc stencils video really caught my imagination. Thank you
Thank you Ruth Ann!
These cards are so cute! I will try this on larger cards!
Just when I thought I was “over” ATC’s – you bring out these great desings – thankfully – I agree they can be incorporated into larger pieces. Love your video!
love the new Itty Bitty stencils! 2 questions–do you have the Tim Holtz chipboard words?? the card you did with the large toadstool–did you ghost where the stencil is white on top of the background or did you use white paint thru the stencil? thanks.
