The Aliens have Arrived!!

 It was my Great Grandson's 7th birthday on Thursday and the theme he picked for it was "Space" it sure makes it easier to plan a party. Since my left hand is still not completely mobile I needed to find a shortcut for a card and I found some Alien Artist Trading Coins I made in 2021that were perfect.

I tried a new to me Galaxy technique for the background (note to self use a splatter box) I popped the 3 coins up on a slimline card which is 3.5 X 8.5 inches. I also s

decorated the envelope.

another closeup, you can see the white splatters 

I added an appropriate space sentiment to the inside.

I am adding this to:

Seize the Birthday ~~ anything goes (must try double stenciling)

Thanks for stopping today and have a great weekend.

A Tiny Craft

 Hello friends, family and followers, it's the premier of A Tiny Craft which are ATCs card or coins the choice is yours, for the first challenge of the new ATC blog is Anything Goes, so again the choice is yours. Since I was lucky to be picked to be on the design team here are my offerings for Challenge #1.

This is a monthly challenge and it starts on the 15th of the month.

Here is my Anything Goes ATCs.

for the first part of my "set" I made earth smooshed backgrounds, and what can be cuter than Aliens on them. I coloured and die cut with the dies then cut two more plain layers out of heavy cardstock to give them a bit of elevation.

 

A few close ups of the coins, which are 2 1/2 inch circles. 

This one shows what a couple of extra layers can li

ft them. 

Now I have a bit of a surprise since I wasn't sure on what I was going to make I coloured and cut all the images in the set so here are a couple of ATCards. 

When I first started out I was just going to make the trio of Aliens but after they were all coloured I decided to just make the coins, then I made the galaxy backgrounds and used all but one image from the set. I also cut two extra layers for each of these too. These will so be in the mail to my great grands.

close up  although I used a shimmer spray you really can't see the sparkle on these. 

I'm entering this in:

ATCs Around the World ~~ #80 Anything Goes.

Cut it Up Challenge 232 Space

Finally I've come to the end of my post and I hope you have time to check out the new Challenge on the Block, A Tiny Craft...ATC and join the fun remember it's Anything Goes.

Shopping Our Stash is going "Outta this World"

Looking for my Clear it Out post scroll down or click HERE.

Shopping Our Stash is going "Outta this World" and they want you to use (Aliens - most monstahs would work here). Alternate challenge for those alien-free crafters: Something celestial - moon, stars, planets, etc. So I'm really one of those Alien-free crafters, then again I'm not too big on something celestial but I managed to fins an super cute free image on Pinterest.

I coloured my alien with copics and fussy cut (I said a few words too) popped him up on some paper, layered on silver then on a black base. I used the dots I had made with the mini pony beads and the smaller ones from perler beads. Paper glaze added to his eyes and antenna. 

Close up look at the alien.

I used an already punched label that was a leftover from last weeks crafting

I had two images printed to make this challenge with and I wasn't sure I was going to post the second one but I wanted to make a tag with it and give it to hubby for a bookmark. He usually has several books on the go and always needs another book mark. I used an image from Sweet Pea Stamps created by Courtney McAnsh to the moon and back. 

The black tag was spritzed with glitter spray

Thanks for visiting today and gather up those alien, monsters or moon and stars and enter in the challenge, just remember to check out the rules and see which theme the other members of the design team have done.
