Oooh, that's not a good term, is it? LOL! I shouldn't name my class today for you guys after something that brings us back to high school (not that I ever HAD Saturday school...that was detention in its highest form!) Well...maybe this ONE time...
...anyway, I have a quick and easy class to show you today that just might help you crank out some quick cards!
How many of you have ever participated in an ATC swap? Made an ATC for other reasons? In case you are new to them, ATC's (artist trading cards) are a vastly popular way of swapping card ideas on a little 2.5X3.5 sized card(standard baseball card size) that is easily collected and stored for some great idea swapping!
I got on an ATC kick about a year ago and did some mad swapping! Then I realized, although they're fun to look at, it's almost a shame that they just sit there in a binder or in one of my drawers. So one day, I started tinkering w/ some leftover cards I had made and turned this:
into this:
In just a few minutes, I was able to transform my tiny little ATC's into the focal point of a full sized greeting card.
I was really happy with how these turned out and the fact that I had a whole handful of cards made up in no time at all. I added some ribbon and a brads for balance and packaged these up to give to a friend, actually as a stationery set.
Do you guys have any ATC's laying around, either yours or others you've swapped out? I'd LOVE to see what you create with them! You will be so happy when you see how you can have a whole stack of cards without having to spend a lot of time at all!
I'd love to see what you do...so feel free to comment back and let me know you've got somethin' to show us! Or, you can upload to the Gallery at any time for us to all oogle over your fabulous creations! Happy adhering!
