Artist Trading Cards & Coins

Hey everybody – Merry Christmas Eve! I hope you’re ready for the big jolly guy in the red suit to make his appearance tonight… because he’s coming whether you’re ready or not! LOL, sure got here fast – that’s about all I can say! I’ve popped in with my second post of the day to share an assortment of ATCs (both cards and coins) that I made with some stuff in my stash along with some new crafty goodies that I got for Christmas!

I participated in a Secret Santa de-stash gift exchange hosted by a friend and got a nice box of crafty goodies from my exchange partner. So my friend who organized it messaged me and asked if I wanted to do another de-stash exchange privately with her (of course, I couldn’t say no, lol) and she sent me a huge box full of more fun stuff! Can you say WIN-WIN?! And I have to say that I was able to send out two fat (filled to the brim) medium sized flat rate boxes of de-stash items that I no longer used, so that was another WIN-WIN! Needless to say I was jones-ing to dig into these two boxes and make something pretty! It’s been forever since I’ve made an ATC, so that’s what I did… four coins and two cards to add to my ATC album!

For the four coins, I used Not 2 Shabby Pet tape along with papers from the Carta Bella Gather At Home 6×6 Mega Pad, Carta Bella Flora No. 3 6×6 Paper Pad, and Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit. Also used some Keep It Simple enamel hearts and glitter enamel dots. If you’re not familiar, Pet tape is different than Washi tape. Washi tape is a paper sticker tape and Pet tape is a clear plastic sticker tape that’s pre-cut with images and sentiments, and SO fun to use!

For the two cards, I used papers and stickers from the Carta Bella Home From Christmas Collection Kit along with some Eyelet Outlet enamel dots. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve gotten my ATC fix – for now – but you may be seeing more soon, lol!
