some atc's i made for a swap
this was a challenge atc swap to use fun foam on the atc well I did use funfoam but not in an ordinary way :)
cut a piece of fun foam to about the size your want
get out a rubber stamp and ink pad set aside
heat the fun foam with a heat gun flipping it over several times then while you are heating it up this just takes seconds ink up your stamp turn off your heat gun and push the stamp into the fun foam press really hard
here are the results I got
I love this technique and had a lot of fun making my atc's for this challenge

some necklaces and a box I made using found objects
I found this box in some
stuff I got in a swap and
decided to jazz it up a bit
I used some old washers
for the top that I put
emborssing powder on and
then stamped into it
I did the box lid the same way
just stamped onto the melted
emborssing powder
this is the side of the box
I just stamped the word
secrets onto the sides and cover
with some blue pearl x and
covered it all with papier glass finish
a necklace made from a trimonial
i used emborssing powder and stamped into it
an old dog tag that i covered in embrossing powder then I flicked pearl x on it then stamped into it

mouted rubber stamp storage system
I made this from metal corners that you use to protect the corners of drywall
it comes in 10 ft strips I cut it to size bent the ends over to protect from sharp edges screwed them into my wall. I put screws about every 10 inches or so just to give it added support then I covered the ends with c0rner trim again to cover the sharp edges.
and then just set my stamps onto the ledge the idea came to me from seeing the way stamp stores had their stamps displayed I wanted something like this for mine so this is what I came up with.

pinwheel magnet
here is a simple and fun project
this can be a magnet for your fridge or embellishments for a card or a photo frame it all depends
on how big you make it.
Pinwheel magnet
supplies
decorated paper , magazines, clipping, old book pages, you can use most anything you want just as lone as it has an image on both sidesor glue two sheets together . Thats what I did in the sample
faces or bottle caps or whatever you want to use for the center glue stick double sided tape

faces or bottle caps or whatever you want to use for the center glue stick double sided tape
glue two sheets of paper together to give you a design on both sides this also makes the project a bit stronger.
use pattern or cut a square to the size you want you can make these big or as small as you choose . just make sure that it is a square.
next fold from coner to coner, open it up and fold from the other coner to coner or use the included pattern this will create your cut lines.
take a dime for a larger pinwheel or a pencil head for the smaller one color with a stamp pad or perament marker carefully place onto the center of the square as indicated by the fold lines press down , then remove , this should leave a mark .
now cut on your fold lines up to the mark you made with the dime or pencile.
when you get all four coners cut put a small piece of double sided tape onto the center of the pinwheel ,
fold each piece to the center (see image ) and push into the tape to secure
now add some double sided tape to your face, bottlecap or whatever you have choosen to use for the center and push down
turn over and add magnet, or double sided tape if your adding it to a card or glue to some cardstock for a photo frame.
Notes
When I first seen these they were made with a bottle cap and they put a photo inside of it
When I first seen these they were made with a bottle cap and they put a photo inside of it
but I like to use polymer clay faces so that is what I choose to use
I seen some of these made with a smaller square and put onto cards,or larger and used for photo frames. the possibilitys are endless have fun and enjoy.

words of wisdom
a really simple card stamped background and homemade word charms
fun and easy to make using copper sheeting and an old non working inkpen, after writiing the words on the copper i go back over them with a black sharpie and then whipe off the excess marker. it fills in the words and makes them show up better.
morphed
I used Papier Glass finish by folk art an image torn from an old playing card and some micro beads placed on a oil painted background I didn't glue the image down but let the papier glass finish flow under it and cause it to rise in places
I really like playing with this glass finish product you can do so many different things with it. and its clear so you can add pigment, or little bits of paper or string , just about anything you can think of .
