I decided to use up some (though not really much) of my Bo Bunny stash. I have taken advantage of a few Bo Bunny Grab Bags which means I have some excess in some areas. Their Trail Mix line being one in which I have a few duplicates. So I decided to make a few ATCs that also double as magnets. I am going to sell/display them at a garage sale I am starting tomorrow to see if anyone buys them. If not, I still had fun making them. Some details below.
Astoria ATC: Astoria is a old historical town next to the one I live in. It is also the home of the Goonies house. The scene where the kid Truffle Shuffles is kind of fun to watch now since I can easily recognize Astoria in the background. This is a simple card and technically a bit larger than a ATC. The Bo Bunny tag/paper is inside of a 3"x4" plastic card protector. The Astoria is made with two Tim Holtz Fragments on some Bo Bunny scraps and letter stickers from the Trail Mix sticker sheet. I have a container of ArtMinds Mosaic Glass from another project I never actually started, and there were some that were the perfect color for this, so I added them. The fragments and mosaic pieces are all glued on top of the card protector. The extra space did make the layout on this much easier. Originally I was going to stick with a traditional ATC, but Astoria didn't really fit very well.

Cabin Life ATC. I am pretty happy with how the wood vellum piece ties in the Bo Bunny stickers and the dark brown cardstock. The cardstock is just a generic dark brown piece from Michael's. The wood vellum is actual thin wood and gives some nice texture. I used Mocha Mama powderpuff from Quick Quotes to add a little more depth and outline to the binoculars ribbon paper and the Cabin Life sticker. I fussy cut the ribbon out, which was not too difficult. The lantern is a chipboard sticker from the same matching set.

Fishing Life ATC: This one is somewhat simple. The Fishing box and pole piece is a sticker and the world, "Fishing," is a separate one. I used some green cardstock I had in my scraps and added some Tattered Angels Cardboard Baseboard spray to it. There was a design, but the spray didn't really work well with my stencil. It did add some nice little mystery blotches though. Fishing is messy work, right? The fish is a stamp from Inkadoo and I embossed it with Ranger Brick embossing powder. I also stamped the fishing box sticker with a set of stamps I have from a unknown company (bought them used) that look like vintage post office stamps. They didn't show up really strong, but I like how they are kind of hinted. I was going for a slight post card feel with that.
