Embossing ATC

ATC.... stands for Artist Trading Card, which is just a small 2.5 x 3.5 inch card. These are my samples for an Embossing ATC swap with some fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.

I have embossed the image from Carte Postale, onto Night of Navy cardstock, using versamark & silver embossing powder, then used a cirlce punch to make the 'ticket' corners. I have also embossed silver around the edges of the Buckaroo Blue cardstock, added some silver brads to the corners, then mounted on some more Night of Navy.

What do you do with an ATC? Well mine are going to go into an album as each month we are doing a different technique, but you can also make them into a card.........like this one. I have used the flower stamp from Carte Postale to create the background paper, silver embossed the sentiment & added some ribbon & silver cord. I posted these off last week, so will soon be getting 8 back in the mail - can't wait to check them out!

Carte Postale notebook

I have been covering afew notebooks lately & it really is alot of fun. Using the Stampin' Up! spiral punch makes it so easy - the covers are a perfect fit!

I have used carte postale stamp set & leaves a la carte jumbo wheel for this one along with some of the new wide celery grosgrain ribbon. Everything used, apart from the notebook, is Stampin' Up! & available to purchase throug me so if you are interested just send me an email - alana@aussiebroadband.com.au
