ATC Swap – new for 2017

Written by Michelle Mccosh

Everything Scrapbook and Stamps is pleased to announce our themes for the 2017 ATC swap.

Don’t worry if you have never participated in an ATC Swap before, it is easy and there are only a few rules.

Your card must measure 2.5 by 3.5 inches and must have the following information on the back of the card:

  1. Your Name,
  2. Name of the Swap:  (eg:  Everything Scrapbook & Stamps “Tim Holtz Paint”)
  3. the number of the card in the series (i.e. card 1 of 6, card 2 of 6, etc)
  4. Contact information, either email or phone
  5. and the date

You will need to make 6 cards.

If you attend our swap  in person we will be doing a make n take card using the following months technique.  If you live out of town or are unable to attend you can mail your swap in to us.  Please make sure to include a postage paid envelope.  We will do the swap  and mail your swapped cards back to you.

This year we have decided to do a technique series based on Industry Artists.

The interpretation is yours (does this artist remind you of a particular color, product or technique)

For instance Tim Holtz is known for his worn vintage look, the color brown and some seriously cool techniques.  This artist is easy to think of something to do.  and you probably already have his products in your stash.  Pick one of his techniques and use his stamps or ephemera on top.  Julie Nutting is know for her paper dolls.  Karen Burniston is known for her Pop Ups.  (so this card should use a Pop Up in some way)

Here is the list of Industry Artists

January – Tim Holtz

February – Seth Apter

March – Wendy Vecchi

April – Nathalie Kalbach

May- Julie Nutting

June- Karen Burniston

July – Dyan Reaveley

August – Teesha Moore

September – Andy Skinner

October – Anna Dabrowska

November – Dina Wakley

December – DJ Petitt

If in one particular month the artist does not fit your vibe or style then pick one of these two artists instead

Wild Cards:  Catherine Moore or Michael DeMeng

Remember to send us 6 cards but most importantly remember to have fun !
