ATC Swap

Just a quick post to share some ATC's I made for a swap.... Not sure why I tend to flock to browns and darker colors! I also made cute little envelopes for each of them so they don't get damaged in transit!!

ATC - Any Theme

This month our ATC theme is anything we want it to be!  I found this beautiful paper at Michael's and decided to try a Victorian style 'friend' card.

 

I went 'shopping' at my mom's house and found some paper doilies, and made the flowers with my friend's Big Shot. I also added some tiny pearls, and the sentiment and tag are from SU. Each card is just a little different because I changed the flowers up...

If you make ATC's, please leave me a link to your page... I love seeing other ideas!

My 1st ATC's

I just joined a new ATC group, ATC TradinLadyz, with some of my ScrappinLadyz friends. In case you don't know, ATC stands for Artist Trading Cards. They are 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" (like baseball trading cards) but are original, self-produced cards meant ONLY for trading. You can find out more by Googling ATC or Artist Trading Cards.

My 1st MeetUp is in a couple weeks and is a Summer theme. I started with this cute little Popsicle that I CASE'd from Paper Smooches. (She used a Popsicle stamp, but I had to improvise since I don't have one)...

and ended up with this...

I used a sponge to make the clouds and sand, a couple different Cricut cartridges for the Popsicle shape and waves, little black pearls for the eyes, and SU markers. I also gave the sun and Popsicle a little dimension with PopDots. Not sure if you can see it, but the ball says "stay Cool!"

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!!
