UPDATE: I AM THRILLED THAT MY DREAM BIG ATC WAS CHOSEN AS A FAVORITE OF 2019 AT SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS!! TRULY HONORED!! Hello Monday, my friends! Welcome back to another fun week with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Our theme this week is ATC's, or Artist Trading Cards. An ATC is a small art piece that is 2.5" x 3.5" or 64mm x 89mm. People often like to make and trade them with other creatives. Why not get a group of friends together this week and make and share some ATC's, and be sure to share with us also! UPDATE: Thrilled to have my DREAM BIG ATC selected as a Splitcoaststampers Favorite for the week of August 24!! Kid's Summer Vacation challenge is in full swing. Get your kiddos, grands, nieces, nephews, neighbors together for some crafting fun this month, and share their work with this challenge! I made a quartet of patchwork artist trading cards this week. One of my new favorite paper lines is Stamperia. This week, I am using their Patchwork set. I covered both sides of cardboard from a mailing envelope that I cut to size. I was going to make 2, then 3, and somehow it ended up with 4. I used two different Simon stencils and the Transparent Gloss Texture paste. It took a long time to dry because of the humidity. Once dry, I blended the Fossilized Amber over the cards to deepen the yellows and make the texture stand out. Then, I edged the cards with Ground Espresso. Meanwhile, I cut out several shapes from the papers, and adhered them to more cardboard with gel medium. Once dry, I cut each one out. Added a distressed edge... Then, the fun began with this faux encaustic technique. Seth Apter and Emerald Creek came up with an awesome embossing powder - Vintage Beeswax! I did two layers to build it up and make it look more like a layer of wax, but without all the fuss. Details.... With a cup of TEA in your hand, anything is possible Big Love Dream Big Make a Wish Patchwork ATC's Now, it's your turn to make some Artist Trading Cards and join us in the challenge!

Join the movement! What are artist trading cards? Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5". How did the movement start? In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps. How do I create ATCs? Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. ATCs are traded, not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions and Originals (ACEO). How do I trade cards? You can locate an in-person swap in your area, find an online swap, or organize your own swap. There are a number of Web sites that others have created to help artists get started. They can be found by doing online searches using key words such as “artist trading cards.” Watch this beautiful Artist Trading Card by Linzi Fay come to life.

I've always admired ATC's (Artists' Trading Cards) but had never made my own, until now! With just one sheet of paper from Stamperia's Around the World 12 X 12 Paper Pad from FotoBella.com, I was able to create this set mounted onto cardboard. The cardboard measures 3 1/2" X 5", and I started by tearing the top layer off about 1/2" around the edges. Then I mixed some paint with Prima Marketing's Heavy White Gesso, and applied it to the cardboard edges with my Bo Bunny Palette Knife. I worked quickly so I could immediately sprinkle it with small beads before the gesso dried. Once the gesso did dry, I arranged and adhered my fussy-cut pieces, inked along the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and my Blending Tool. Of course I had to add some vintage buttons, along with the shells that I added to this one! Finally, I finished them up with some sparkly fiber. Thanks for looking! ****************************** Challenges: More Mixed Media Challenge ~ Anything Goes (Optional Pastel) Crafty Creations ~ #345 Anything Goes

Gestern hab ich schon zwei davon gezeigt: ATCs (Artist Trading Cards). Das sind Künstler-Tauschkarten. Sie haben eine feste Größe von 2,5 x 3,5 inch (8,9 x 6,3cm). Diese Kärtchen dürfen nicht verkauft werden, sondern nur getauscht. In der Gestaltung der Karte seit Ihr völlig frei. Es dürfen alle Medien verwendet werden, die Euch einfallen. Nur die Größe ist fest vorgegeben. Die Karten sind ideal um ein paar Mixed Media Techniken auszuprobieren. I showed two of them yesterday: ATCs (Artist Trading Cards). These cards must not be sold you only should share them between each other. They have a defined size that measures 2,5" x 3,5" inches. You are free in what material you are using so they are perfect for practicing some mixed media techniques. Als Basis für meine Karte verwende ich Cardstock (ich hab ziemlich viel hellgrün übrig, also ist das eine gute Gelegenheit den mal zu verbrauchen) und Seiten aus einem alten Buch. Mit Hilfe von Gel Medium klebe ich die Buchseite auf meinen Tonkarton. Dazu streicht Ihr den Tonkarton mit Gel Medium ein legt die Buchseite darauf und gebt nochmal eine Schicht Gel Medium darüber. The base of my cards are created with some scrap cardstock and old bookpaper. I used some gel medium to adhere the book page to the cardstock. Zugeschnitten sieht das dann so aus und ihr habt auch gleich die perfekte Oberfläche zum Arbeiten mit den Gelatos: I cut them down to the right size and started with my Gelatos: Ich verwende Black Licorice und Boysenberry. Damit umrande ich die Kärtchen und verwische die Farbe mit den Fingern. I used the Black Licorice and Boysenberry to color the edges. I blended the colors with my fingers. Auf die blaue Karte male ich mit Hilfe der Kreisschablone und dem Coconut Gelato einige Kreise auf. Ihr müsst die Farbe auftragen und dann mit dem Finger auf's Papier wischen. I added some white circles on the blue card using a stencil and the Coconut Gelato. Zum Abschluss male ich noch mit einem weißen Lackmarker über die Ränder der Schablone. Das ist aber nicht unbedingt nötig. Ihr könnt ebenso eine zweite Schicht Gelato Coconut auftragen. To finish my bubbles I used a white UNIPosca Marker to define the edges. Damit das ganze einen Unterwasser-Look bekommt stempel ich noch ein passendes Motiv (dieses ist aus der Noor! Design Under the Sea Kollektion). To get an under the sea look I stamped an nautical image on my background. (It comes with the Noor! Design Under The Sea Collection) Ich möchte die Seepferdchenstanze aus der Noor! Design Under the Sea Kollektion verwenden. Da es so ganz in weiß etwas fad ist, mal ich es mit den Gelatos Grape und Red Cherry an. Gestanz hab ich das Seepferdchen aus weißem Cardstock den ich vorher mit Gesso grundiert hatte. I'd like to use the seahorse from the Noor! Design Under the Sea Collection. I cut it out of white cardstock that was primed with Gesso and colored it with the Grape and Red Cherry Gelato. Auch hier verwische ich die Farben wieder mit den Fingern und hebe noch einige Umrisse in Schwarz hervor. I blend the colors with my fingers and bring out some outlines with a black pen. Für meinen Titel verwende ich passernderweise wiederum einen Stempel aus der Under The Sea Serie von Noor! Design. Da ich die Wörter anders plazieren möchte stempel ich den Text drei mal und schneide die Wörter aus. Wie Ihr sehen könnt hab ich im Hintergrund auch noch einen Fisch gestempelt (ebenfalls aus der Under The Sea Kollektion). Die Titelwörter klebe ich auf und koloriere sie mit dem Distress Marker Spiced Marmalade. I used a sentiment out of the Noor! Design Under The Sea Collection as my title. I wanted the words in another formation so I stamped it three times, cut the words out and adhered them to my card. I colored them with the Distress Marker Spiced Marmalade. You can see that I also stamped a fish on my background. Damit das Seepferdchen besonders zur Geltung kommt klebe ich es mit 3d Foam Pads auf und beglitzer es mit Glitzerkleber. I put my seahorse on 3d foam pads to highlight it. I also use some Glitter Glue to finish it up. Fertig ist der erste Streich... Die zweite Karte hab ich auch nochmal mit ein paar Stempelabdrücken versehen (Ich verwende auf glatten Oberflächen immer StazOn) und anschließend mit Fran-tage Embossing Enamel "Aged Aqua" von Stampendous embossed. Das Embossingpulver hab ich einfach darübergestreut und mit dem Embossingfön von der Unterseite erhitzt (andernfalls wird Euch das Pulver davon geblasen) I stamped on my black card as well with some stamps I had in my stash. After that I embossed some Fran-tage Embossing Enamel "Aged Aqua" on top. Pay attention to heat the powder from underneath! Als Toping hab ich die Federn von Noor! Design verwendet. Diese hab ich wie das Seepferdchen mit Gelatos (Red Cherry, Mango, Lemon, Boysenberry und Metallic Mint) koloriert. Hier hab ich ebenfalls etwas Fran-tage verwendet. Meinen Titel hab ich diesmal einfach am PC geschrieben und ausgedruckt. Koloriert hab ich ihn auch mit Distress Markern (Spiced Marmalade und Peakock Feathers). Eure Druckertinte sollte dafür allerdings wasserfest sein. I embellished the card with the Noor! Design Feathers. I colored them in the same way as the seahorse with my Gelatos (Red Cherry, Mango, Lemon, Boysenberry and Metallic Mint). I also melted some Fran-tage on them. I printed my sentiment with the PC and colored it with Distress Markers (Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers). Material aus dem Cards und More Shop:
