Good morning! I’m Teresa<\/a> and welcome to my first post as part of the amazing Joggles DT. I am so excited to be here with you, sharing my ideas and techniques, and hopefully inspiring you to try them for yourself.<\/p>\n

When I was asked to create a project with the Joggles Itty Bitty ATC Stencils, I was thrilled! I love ATCs and this range of stencils is sized perfectly for adding visual interest and texture to ATCs. However, I didn’t just want to create a couple of ATCs for this tutorial, so I have gone one step further and created a mini book of inspiration that is small enough to tuck into a pocket or handbag and carry around with you. Just perfect for when you need a little extra bit of positive energy.<\/p>\n

Baker’s Twine (5 yards) – Black<\/a><\/p>\n

Little B Circle Die (or use Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Extra Jumbo Craft Punch 1.5 inch Circle<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Here’s my process:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I began by taking an A4 sheet of white card and adding colour with Colourcraft Brusho Crystal Colours, spritzing with some water to help the colours burst and blend. The colours I used here are Purple, Cobalt Blue, Gamboge, Lemon and Sea Green. I have pierced tiny holes in the caps of my Brusho pots so that I can sprinkle small amounts of the colour crystals onto my page \u2013 I find this much easier than dipping into the posts with a brush or small spatula. Using Brushos is not an exact science, but I love the unexpected nature of the product…it’s always a surprise what patterns and colour blends you get! Once I was happy with the effect, I used my heat tool to help dry the card, blotting any heavily wet areas with paper towel to avoid pooling and muddying of the colours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once dry, I cut my card into 9 ATCs (2.5 x 3.5 inches) and made a decision on which Joggles Itty Bitty ATC Stencils I wanted to use for my next background layer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As these stencils are so beautifully intricate, I decided to use PanPastels through them, applying the colour with a Sofft Tool. PanPastels are highly pigmented so they are perfect for using with stencils. The vibrant colours I used here are Permanent Green, Turquoise, Violet, Magenta, Diarylide Yellow, and Permanent Red. I applied the Pan Pastels randomly. The Sofft Tool allowed me to blend the colours so there were no harsh edges. For this stage of the process, I used Mini Cyclone and Mod Squad Joggles Itty Bitty ATC Stencils. The two designs complement each other quite well and are both ideal for a background layer rather than a focal point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted another layer of stencilling, something that would be more in the foreground of my design. I chose the XO Joggles Itty Bitty ATC Stencil and applied Black Soot Distress Ink with a Ranger Inkssentials Ink Blending Tool through it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of my DT package, I received some Joggles Sticky Snippets. I was curious to try these out so chose the Hearts and Small Starburst designs and cut some from the sheet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to colour them with Dylusions Ink Sprays in Cherry Pie, Lemon Zest, and Polished Jade, just spritzing randomly. They take the colour really well, and I allowed them to dry before removing from the backing sheet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now it was time to ‘assemble’ my pages. I used the coloured Sticky Snippets and added extra details using a white gel pen and black fineliner. I doodled around the Sticky Snippets and added some whimsical borders. My inspirational words come from the Idea-ology by Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers. Each ATC was matted onto a piece of black card 3 x 3.75 inches, aligned to the right, ready for binding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I cut an extra piece of black card to create the cover to my book and die cut a circular aperture with a Little B die. The placement of this allowed the words on the first page to show through. I added some decorative detail with my white gel pen.<\/p>\n

Using a pokey tool, I pierced three holes in each page to allow me to bind with some baker’s twine. This was just threaded through using a large needle, then tied off inside the back cover to hide the knot.<\/p>\n
