ATC Pocket Template

Image
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. Click here to download the free ATC pocket template: https://www.jpsdigital.com/deepredstamps/downloads... 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. Onc...
