ATC booklet

I belong to a group which is strictly for ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) and each month all the cards uploaded are entered for a prize draw with all the members voting. The list owner then sends out a small prize to the winner.

Since it was the Christmas season and there was a close second, I volunteered to send something to the second place winner. Since the group is all about ATC's I decided to make a booklet to hold them.

I started by taking a piece of my handmade backgrounds and cut it to size for the back and front covers. I added some embossed flourishes, then I attached some patterned papers to the inside of the covers. I then took a little vellum envelope and attached it to the front inside cover and put a few small images inside for the recipient to use on her ATC's or other projects.

The front cover was completed by adding an image from moonlightjourney.com, a quote from quietfiredesign.ca and some "jewels"using colours which coordinated with the image.

For the ATC holders I used heavy weight badge holders, then bound the whole piece together with my Zutter Bind-it-All.

ATC (Artist Trading Card) Holders

I am participating in a swap where we make some type of ATC Holder. I had two different ideas in mind and have completed both.


The first is the same idea as the book I made for my sister at Christmas time. I just did not add the additional pieces of cardstock to divide the pages, as I thought it would add too much bulk. I have taken individual ATC sleeves and attached them to the pages. On the back inside cover I added an envelope, in case the person recieving it would like to add some additonal items in the book.

Below are the front cover, inside front cover page, first page with some ATC's inside to show how it works, and the back inside cover.














ATC Holder #2




The front and back cover of this holder are made with acrylic. I coloured them with Alchohol Inks, then stamped with Stazon black. To make them stand out a bit more, I cut a couple of pieces of white cardstock and added them in the book to accent each cover. On the backside of the pieces of white cs I coloured and stamped and added an image (courtesy of Trish B.), on the other, instead of adding an image I glued a handmade ATC envelope (received from my friend Deanna), which can hold an ATC or other items.


I used heavy weight badge holders for the ATC holders, (2nd picture above shows how the ATC is inserted) and bound it together with book rings.
