ATC Mini Holder


Club Scrap is hosting a new challenge this month: Make it Mini. We're challenging you to create projects or pages half the size from their original.
         
I recently joined an ATC swap in the Club Scrap Chat group on Facebook. An ATC is an Artist Training Card measuring 2.5" x 3.5".  I've accumulated dozens over my crafting years and love to use them on my scrapbook pages and cards.  Currently I have them in a binder but I want to be able to display them in my craft room.  

I took the directions from the Club Scrap Adobe Mini Magazine holder and made it even smaller.
Score a 10 1/2" x 12" sheet of cardstock vertically at 3", 6 1/2" and 10".  
 
Score horizontally at 3", 4 1/2", 7 1/2" and 9". 
 
Trim vertically with the 1/2" score mark to the right at 7" and 3 1/2". 
 
This will give you three equal pieces for the boxes.
 
Scored lines are in black.
Draw a line horizontally 2" up from the bottom on both left and right flaps. 


Using a craft knife, trim as pictured below.  

Fold up along the 1/2" scored line and fold in the edges to create a box. 

Adhere 3" end flaps together.  Continue with the remaining boxes. 


Line up the 3 boxes side by side and adhere the middle sides together to create one piece.

Wrap a 1 1/2" x 9 1/2" piece of book board with cardstock to create a solid base.

Adhere bottom flaps to base.


Decorate front as desired. 

 
We would love to see your Make it Minis. Visit the Facebook Chat Group 08/20 Technique Challenge post to upload completed artwork in the comments section.

Happy Fourth

Freshly Made Sketches is hosting Challenge #439 which I thought would be perfect for the new Club Scrap Vintage Americana flag stamp.  

I used Signme markers directly on the stamp itself and then stamped on paper. I just love how it turned out!

Mermaids Only

Color Throwdown is hosting Color Challenge #595 consisting of black, teal and white. To escape the heat this week I've been making cards with  my art orphans.  This background is made with black and white nail polish using a marbling technique. Each panel is a glorious surprise when you pull it from the water.

Grateful

Paper Smooches is hosting a "You are Appreciated" challenge.  With last week being EMS Week I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to make some first responder cards. So grateful for all my co-workers. You guys are survivors!

Together Forever

Color Throwdown is hosting color challenge #594 using the beautiful combination of yellow, gray and white.


I love stamping with Faber-Castell Gelatos.  They are so rich and creamy and give a beautiful watercolor effect when spritzed with water.

Let Your Weird Light Shine

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is hosting a Yellow Challenge. It's been awhile since I've created  something for to the Sisterhood and was excited to be inspired by this new snarky challenge.

The background was made using a nail polish marbling technique.

Go Fly a Kite

Tuesday Morning Sketches is hosting Challenge #554. Circles always appeal to my craftiness so I was super excited to play with this sketch. Wanting to show off the embossed frame, I kept the design fairly simple.
