I got challenge to make something crafty with something that I have had in my stash for over 10 years. Well I found a couple of things, one is papers, stickers, and brads from one of my first scrapbook kits and also my paper piercer and piercing mat that I have had for 12 years and still use both to this day. With this fun project I decided to make a set of ATCs (Artist Trading Cards).
Here is a video on how I made this fun set of ATCs.
I started of by misting a paper by Adornit that is made of watercolor paper and was just begging to be misted. I picked out 3 colors; blue, yellow, and green. I just misted randomly and have fun with it! I love the sentiments on this watercolor paper, it is just filled with inspiration and empowerment!
I then used the 10 year old paper and cut it down to size to be the dimensions of an ATC (2.5 x 3.5 inches). I also added in a layer of sticker trim from a couple of Adornit sticker sheets. I then stuck down the misted papers to the tops of the cut papers with Supertite glue.
From the ancient kit I found for this blog hop also had some brads and some chipboard stickers. I added them to the ATCs in random places. I used the paper piercer and piercing pad (an old mouse pad) to poke the holes into the papers to insert the brads. Yea for old tools that still rock!!!

DeleteI just watched this on YouTube and had to see them up close. I love your work but you already know that. Hehe... Thank you for the inspiration with these. I think that they would be cute to make and put in gift bags or with a card for the kiddos to show them a simple yet fun way to start inspiring them through crafting. Thnx Erin. HUGS!
