ATC Pocket Template

If you're an ATC maker you will love this free template. I have created an ATC pocket that you can make to place inside a journal page, card or any mixed media project. The pocket is perfectly sized to accommodate a standard ATC (Artist Trading Card) which measures 2.5 inch x 3.5 inch.

Decorating the front of this pocket has endless possibilities! I stamped our Grape Leaves Background Rubber Stamp in black ink and added a dark green ink along the edges with a sponge dauber. Any of our medium background stamps will work great, such as Sunflowers Background, Japanese Waves, Japanese Stars, Grunge Swirls, etc!

See our medium sized background stamps here.

Another way to use the pocket can be just onto a handmade card and place paper die cut flowers or a simple note card in it.

This template includes the pocket and a liner for the backing so you can place it anywhere.

Once you print and cute out the template, use it to trace onto your preferred card stock.

This template features notches to know where the fold lines are. Tip: use closed pair of scissors to create a fold.

Before you fold up the front of the pocket, stamp a design on it. Also, keep the backing of the pocket (which is also included) as a seamless inside so the card slides in easily, i.e. glue folds to the outside of the back.

Above is an ATC designed by Cindy G. of Michigan featuring our Apple Harvest Rubber Stamp embossed in gold.

We also have rubber stamps that are specially designed to stamp on the back of ATC to fill out artist name, date, etc.

Stamps like: ATC Flourish Rubber Stamp, ATC Boston Rubber Stamp and ATC Angel Rubber Stamp to name a few.

Non-Halloween Stamps to Create Scary

  The dramatic effect of white embossing onto black paper doesn't just have to be done at Halloween. Here we used some unconventional stamps to create a scary tag with a base of black. While these stamps normally wouldn't be in the Halloween category, they end up somehow being perfect to create a scary tag. The best way to get a bright white look is by embossing with white powder. Embossing always comes out looking extraordinary and worth the extra effort. Above is our  Victorian Man Profile Rubber Stamp  embossed onto black chipboard. He'll make a great embellishment for a Halloween. (measures about 2 inch x 2 inch). A tree branch from our  Season of Joy Collection  is one of my favorite stamps. It expresses the beauty of nature in a simple way. Above, the branch stamp was embossed in Copper Powder onto black card stock. Our  Grunge Ticket Rubber Stamp  is seen above, embossed in white onto black card stock. The stamp measures about 3 inches tall x 1.5 inches wide. I love

Journaling Techniques to Create a Card

​In this project, I combined some favorite journaling techniques to create a handmade card.  For those of you that do not create junk journals, that's ok because the processes, like watercolor paint splashes, rolling edges of the paper are used below make a very pretty card with many layers. I also include below a couple of tips on keeping your tools sharp and options for using different focal points. We use a center layout where everything is built around the middle line of the card. Embellish using the top left and bottom right with a background pattern of script in black ink gives the green center a nice contrast which is often seen in journaling. (The red flowers are watercolor designs that were inkjet printed.) You can use stickers of flowers just the same. The  ​Venus de Milo Rubber Stamp  is now available. It measures about 1.25" wide x 3.25" tall.  The oval frame is from our  ​Create a Cameo Rubber Stamp Collection .  You will notice, I used the top part of the Ve

IPhone Cover Decor

Since Xyron has a fabulous way of making anything into a sticker, I decided to create décor for the back of my cell phone case. Taking beautiful, damask patterned glitter paper from DCWV, 6x6 pad, 'The Glitter Basics" I cut out my iPhone 6s cover pattern using a template I created in plain white cardstock of my case.  To cut out the circle in the middle, I used an X-Acto knife.     The Scooter Rubber Stamp was embossed on red paper and cut out with scissors.  I smudged 'Claret' color StazOn ink around the edges.       After placing the scooter through the Xyron Creative Station, I placed it onto the iPhone pattern and ran both through together.  The Creative Station can take such thick items.  You will see below that I ran embellishments made from shrink plastic and it had no problem with them. One of the magical features of the Xyron's sticker makers is that the top of your project comes out unscathed.  You just peel the plas
