Dusk Flutter, October Card Swap

It's that time of the month where I get to share the card I made for my Card Swap group. October's theme was add an ATC to the front of your card. I have always admired ATC (Artist trading Cards) but I have not made one before. I even have a stamp for the back of my card that says ATC and you fill out the artist name, name of design & 1 of 10 (or, how ever many you are making). ATC are passed out and traded similar to a calling card.

My design is two part. Since we added the ATC to the card front I wanted it to be removeable. However, that was not a guideline for the swap. The only guideline was the ATC had to be the standard size of 2.5x3.5! My ATC is secured onto the card by slits in the card front and under the ATC is a surprise ...


To make the slits in the card I used my Basic Grey handle notch & die cutting tool. Something when it first came out I HAD to have! But, rarely ever use. Hmmmm, I need to put some wear on it. Anyways, it is an easy tool to use. I rarely think of using it tho. It was perfect for this card.

Most supplies used to make this card are from Stampin up! Ink, card stock, stamp sets & embosslit.
