Who loves ATCs!? I do!! I recently discovered a great way to make 9 ATCs so quick and easy all from one sheet of paper with minimal supplies and I'm excited to share it with you. I created two short video tutorials on how I make my ATCs this way so please see both of the links below. You will have to copy and paste them into your browser:

Tutorial: Step-by-Step Mixed Media ATCs Part 2

As this is my first swap since making the videos whoever my partners are will get the EXACT ATCs I made in the video. Speaking of partners....you will have 3 partners and you will send them each 3 cards. 3 x 3 = 9 cards total, which should be easy if you follow my tutorials.

Now I understand that some of you may not have all the supplies I used so you do not have to follow the tutorial exactly, but please make mixed media ATCS that you put some time and effort into. These will not be slapped with stickers or glued with printed images. If you think this is too much work please do not join.

Please make sure your card is the standard 2.5 by 3.5, made on sturdy paper (watercolor or mixed media) and send your cards in protective sleeves or envelopes. US only due to postage. Partners will be assigned within 24 hours of the signup deadline to allow time to view profiles.

No recent 1s or 3s and no newbies allowed in this swap. I will be checking profiles and I will ban people who I feel do not meet these requirements. Flakers need not join, because I will not be angeling this swap. If you have any comments or concerns feel free to message me. I hope to make this a reoccurring swap.

HAPPY SWAPPING! :)


P.S.- I am currently hosting a Mixed Media Postcard swap using a similar technique and you can check it out here:

definitively joining. I love this technique. your video just great!

Is making the 9 card background image fine to do on thinner paper (like printer paper) then glued onto cardboard/cereal box backing? I pre-make all of my atc card backs by cutting them out of cereal boxes.

Hi! Your videos are just great! I would love to see more,so I suscribed to your channel. Live the ATC's. Definitely joining this swap!😊

I'm very interested in this swap, would home made stickers as a small embellishment be allowed?

@KatlynAva - printer paper even glued to cardboard/cerel boxes will not hold up with this technique because of all the wet medium it will become a mess. The paper I am using in my videos is a pad of Artists Loft (which is a generic brand at Michaels) 140lb watercolor paper and it is $6. Plus Michaels always has a 40% coupon so you can get it for around $4. There are 24 sheets in the pad and you can get 9 cards per sheet with my tutorial - so you could make a total of 216 cards. If you are really interested in this swap, which I would love you to be apart of, I recommend you purchase the watercolor pad.

@Heynowokay - Yes homemade stickers can used as a small embellishment just like how I used my small die cuts. They should not be the main focus of your ATCs. And just like in my tutorial you can distress the sticker or put drops of ink or paint that you used in the background to make it blend in more.

I did this on printer paper and then glued it onto the atc blanks, worked quite well. I'm holding off on signing up for a lot of swaps now but I'll probably send them out in future swaps.
