Thought I'd get ahead and post the theme for July before I start my working week.
Despite the weather suggesting otherwise I thought as it's July we'd have a summery theme - Summer Fun! Hopefully that'll give you a wide choice - get crafting ATCers!

Jammy your stunning ATCs arrived this morning - very summery!


Sorry, but I'm away soon so it was now or never.

I'm away at the end of the month too so thought I'd better get on with them. While I was at it I also made some for another swap I'm in - they have to be made by 21st of each month. The third swap I'm in haven't posted a theme for July yet so I might have to give that one a miss unless I hear something in the next few days.

Sorry, forgot to say I received the June ATCs today. Really lovely ladies, thank you.

Suppose it's time to fess up!
I promised to tell how I'd made last months ATCs you will be receiving from me any time now.

The toppers were made by die cutting thick card, covering in versamark and UTEE before placing in a melt pot. When molten I stamped into them with a versamark covered stamp, then when cool dusted with mica powder. I used alcohol inks to colour the card I stuck them on. All really 'on trend' at the moment, hence the title.

So why fess up? Well I found the toppers in a box of bits I'd made about 3 years ago and totally forgotten about. The A. I. I've had for longer than that. So as they say what goes around comes around, so don't throw anything away - ever!!!

The only truly on trend part were the envelopes - made from Gelli prints. Now that is really 'on trend'.

Well you would never know it was card or how long you'd had them. They were really lovely and I was lucky enough to receive one. Once a few more people have received theirs I'll post a piccie. of the ones I had.

Posted my July ATCs today! It took me a while to come up with ideas for this one but I had fun trying different things out. I'm glad I joined the swap, it's made me get crafting a bit more which is good.
