Description:

Have you ever gotten an ATC that is just one flat paper element glued onto cardstock with maybe a quote and a little star doodled into the corner? Have you been bored by some of the little creations that come into your collection? Don't feel bad, we all do from time to time.

Hang onto your glue bottles, this swap will be the cure for the common ATC!

+++++++++++++++++

In this swap we will be making loaded up ATCs! What do I mean by that? Well we will be using tons of 3D embellishments and COVERING the entire surface of our cards with them. No paper should be left uncovered!

Go a bit crazy with it, I mean it!

1 ATC, to 1 partner. Sender's choice as to theme, color, items used, etc.

ATCs will be the standard size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches and your base layer will have to be either corrugated cardboard or chipboard for strength. When you have a lot of elements it gets heavy and you need support so that the card doesn't bend and force your elements to pop off. Also, please wrap your ATC in either paper or make a custom envelope and post in a bubble mailer to ensure it gets to it's destination.

You shouldn't just throw all of your beads, buttons, ribbons, and junk on there without a design a clear theme however. Make it junk-tastic and something beautiful as well as kooky.

+++++++++++++++

Remember to add to the back of your ATC (obviously, the back should be paper) the name of the swap, the edition numbers, your name AND swap-bot screen name, location where it was made (ex: NYC, USA), and the date the work was created.

No profiles with unexplained 1's or 3's in the past 6 months. Newbies welcome with full profiles.

I will angel if anyone slips up but let's make this a positive swap and follow through on it :) Please message me BEFORE giving a bad rating to see if I can help fix the situation at all.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any info or clarification, happy swapping!

Come on guys, let's get gluing!

I bet! I've been digging in the weird little pockets and boxes of my craft storage looking for all the cool forgotten things that are little and tend to slip away. So excited for this one!

I have no idea how to do ATCs. When this is over, could some of you PM me pictures of your awesome creations? : D
