Artist Trading Cards
As a paper crafter, one of my favorite things to create are ATCs (artist trading cards) and Inchies. An ATC is a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of sturdy card stock embellished and created any way you wish. An Inchie is a 1x1 square of sturdy card stock embellished and created any way you wish. I have made and traded these with people from all over the world and have gotten some amazing ATCs and Inchies . I decided that the amazing papers PopFizzPaper included in her April Planner Kit would be fantastic to create with. I gathered together the papers, some of the PopFizzPaper stickers and, some embellishments. Then I got to crafting.
First, I cut down the card stock into the needed sizes and covered them with the PopFizzPapers cut to the same size. I pulled out some of my favorite ink stamps. After rough tearing some of the paper, I edged them with the different colors and allowed them to dry before randomly gluing them to the ATCs and Inchies.
I then pulled out as much "bling" as I could and stared applying them to the ATCs. I even used the glitter stars that PopFizzPaper included in the Kit from Lawn Fawn. I added some PopFizzPaper Starstruck quotes and a few of the PopFizzpaper planets. I did the same with the Inchies. They are a small space to work with but to create an entire set of them that coordinate is an amazing feat. They turned out so amazing!!
These ATCs and Inchies are fun to make and trade with others. They can be painted or drawn, collage or embellished any way that you want . The hand-created papers that PopFizzPaper made are so perfect to create anything with and it made the imaginative process simple. Make a bunch and send your mini art works to friends or family.Create 9 ATCs and make a Pocket Letter to send. I would love to see what you create.
