All about ATC's - Mixed Media Art Tutorial

[@mandalaartist4423]

I am watching this many years after you first posted this. Today I shared your new fairy book with my granddaughter. I also introduced her to ATCs too. Now I am going to buy her your book; she can’t wait to create. I will upload and #. Love your new books.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awww this is so lovely to hear that you are sharing art passion and that you are teaching next generation ❤️ thank you ! 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

[@paigan9]

OMG, can I ever relate to the hoarding thing!! I am a craft supply junkie. I don't mind using what I buy, but I keep buying cuz it's all so beautiful, I must have it! LOLOL. Your ATC's are gorgeous and you are a true inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@daboyzmomAnne1961]

You are such a delight! I, too am a "middle of the night" crafter. I seem to get a burst of creative energy between 11pm and 3am. It's quiet and peaceful and the temperature is very pleasant.

[@kreativbienchen7828]

I also too.....My art and writing creating is the best beetween 1 and 4 am.....I live in Germany near Stuttgart/Esslingen

[@lechat8736]

Hi, Marta! Love, love, love these ATCs :)) You used my all-time favorite "Glanzbilder-Glitter pictures" (The animal ones). They are German and were first made a long time ago to be used in friendship books, letters, and journals. You gave your friendship book to all the people you liked and they wrote something into it to be remembered by. Additionally, it was expected of everyone to draw something. But people who didn`t like to draw glued one or more glitter pictures into it. As children, we collected them and the more glitter there was on them the more valuable they were :) And then we sat on the roadside with our cigar boxes full of glitter pictures and we exchanged them for hours. It felt like on the black market and was suuuch fun. This is the first video I found where these are used. Thank you very much for bringing back sweet childhood memories and since I still have many of them I will finally use them. Thanks a lot and warm greetings from Slovenia, Josi

[@sylviacrafts6704]

oh yes Marta that's an awesome idea to be able to swap out ATCS here with you.

[@AerynKDesigns]

Don't worry about knowing words. The internet has shown us lots of Americans don't know their own language, let alone how to spell it most times, lol! I like that you know yourself and cherish the life of dogs enough to know that they need love and attention and need to be a real part of the family. That's always a good message to reinforce. If your life isn't ready for a new child, it's not ready for a puppy! I totally agree about using your things too. You try to hoard and keep things because you like them so much and spent so much and then you start to feel bad because they haven't been used. But when you use them things just spiral and soon you're using *everything* and making great stuff! Another nice long video, thank you!

[@lauramcclure4483]

I love how you take even the stuff that most people throw away and you use it in your art. love

[@islandgypsysoul]

I'm a jeweler who works from a home studio all day. I just love how your videos keep me company while I'm working. I enjoy making messes in my art journal after all of the precision of jewelry making. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your projects from start to finish and listening to your soothing voice. thank you for the effort you put into making these videos! Don't ever worry about them being too long or say that you're talking too much, I have learned so much! blessings! :)

[@gilmac9950]

Omg! Love this video. Just learned to do ATC's and already have made like four sets.

[@roseflower317]

Such lovely ATCs! The dimension on each card is so unique!

[@lettiecaswell5924]

I have learned so much from you and just realized how much time I spend watching your tutorials. Your talent is limitless. Thank you so much.

[@ljae76]

Fantastic ATC's Marta, I love these tiny little creations 💜

[@clevershade]

Thank you for the video Marta. You always have the best ideas. The dogs were so cute!

[@ellieferguson104]

Yes Marta, even after 6 years, your yt's are always great value 💚

[@MaremiSmallArt]

awww thank you !!!

[@kathybradley8315]

All of your ATCs are beautiful! I loved them all and enjoyed watching them come together! Hope your allergies improve soon! Sending warm hugs, Kathy

[@debbiet498]

It was so much fun working with you today. I never saw any use for ATC's, but then again, I felt the same way about art journaling. Now I love them both. I'm on a mission to watch ALL your videos. Love your work (and that adorable accent)

[@jaynesills1248]

These are so cool looking! I love the way you made them come ALIVE!!!!! Thank you.

[@cherylwolf1209]

Marta these atc's are so inspiring...thank you for the tutorial. Today I will clear off my desk and start making some atc's following along with you.

[@donnaday1702]

Beautiful job on your ATC's! Even though I'm not very good making ATC's they are one of my favorite things to make. I didn't have the time to follow along this time but will maybe the weekend, hopefully. Congrats to the winners.... I also have a few jar lids that stick on me and I got a tip on how you can apply Vaseline or even chap stick to the thread on the outside of the jar to keep it from sticking. It has worked for me and hope it helps you. Thanks for sharing... Hugs~

[@ohmyartblog6498]

You are a natural at teaching Marta. How lucky are we !!! I loved this video as i have seen ATC's before but have never tried it myself. This video has definitely given me a huge amount of inspiration. Thank you once again. You are an absolute joy to learn from.

[@catherinecarey4897]

Brilliant, lovely to watch. Cath x

[@cheryl7476]

Marta, I have always enjoyed watching you make ATCs. I am a leftie too, and I cut with scissors with my right hand. I figure our moms must have taught us to use right handed scissors because they have always been more available than left handed ones. My daughter, however is such a leftie, she has to use left handed ones. I so enjoy your videos and hope you will make them for some time to come. I love listening to you and your beautiful voice and accent.

[@conniehewitt6530]

love your enthusiasm. I agree...the atc's allow freedom to pick from all sorts of supplies. thanks for sharing and challenging us.

[@susananncherrysetter3902]

Everyone has already commented what I would comment. Just a Thank You for your time you give and inspiring us to use what we already have in our stash. Thanks!

[@cyndiagilbert6216]

Those are beautiful cards! I've thought about trying my hand at some! You're very inspiring!

[@witsue]

Thank you so much for sharing your art, this is the 4th time I have watched this video and I see something different each time. Hugs.

[@MrsAlabama]

Marta I love all your ATC's!!

[@1957robinson]

I have finished watching this video and my friend, I must bow to a great artist.

[@CraftyLoops]

This was so lovely to watch. Each of the sets were so different and unique. I love them all. So cute. And a big congratulations to the lovely ladies that won the giveaway too. Well done girlies. Lee xx

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

What lovey colors Marta. I just love the the little doggies. Thank you for sharing yourself

[@goodmonkey71]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and process with us...your ATC's turned out beautifully.

[@jolac46]

Those are very beautiful. Love the final result. And congrats to the winners.

[@BarbaraHauensteinArtist]

These are gorgeous! I enjoy your videos and have been binge-watching them since discovering you again about a month ago, ha ha! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with all of us!

[@GTNana2]

I love your tutorials. I'm starting to get better at looking at my projects and 'seeing' what I like and what doesn't work. I think your videos have helped me with that a lot. I think I'll make some ATC's to use in my latest obsession....mini albums!! TFS your time and talent!!!

[@MEPC2012]

I love your work, so very inspiring. I've been papercrafting about 8 yrs and I have never made an ATC. I'm a new subbie as of today. I've been watching your videos for the last 6 hours, I'm hooked!! Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@lauramcdonald6280]

Really enjoyed this video, and yes, I DID create my first set of ATCs. Loved the experience.

[@bonneswartzfager4190]

Until I saw your video I didn't know what an ATC was. Thank you for showing me how beautiful they can be. You said you also use scissors right handed. When I was in school, they gave me left handed scissors, but I never could get them to cut. So I learned to cut right handed. The only other thing I do right handed is throw a Frisbee. For some strange reason I can't throw it left handed. Thanks for all your inspiration. Love watching you.

[@jlm517rocks]

dittos to all. another lefty, ambidextrous now... only in San Diego CA was a left handed specialty shop with scissors among the selection. love the company and commentary, as I often play with y'all as if I were in your studio. and...it inspires me even as I work on something different. keep it up.

[@rainbowdarkcreations1499]

just so you know...you are amazing and I love to create along with you 😊

[@Crafty-xy4or]

So glad you explained what they are!! I've watched a couple videos that popped up in the alike section of KZbin but no one said what they were! This is too cool! I wish i could get one of your atcs! It would inspire me and make me think if when you say "it doesn't have go be perfect just have fun!"

[@monalcreates]

Wonderful ATC cards Marta!!! Love them all! And this video is sure such an inspiration! Thanks!

[@richcari]

You've inspired me to make some ATC's now

[@marysusa6985]

So creative and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@DonnaHarris3578]

I love your ATC's! I'm not real good at making them but I try. Now I have some good ideas from you! Thank you!

[@donnafayeharris7170]

I love love all your ATC’s!

[@StroulTube]

23.50m. Nice to have some singing in your video's as well. Now that is MIXED media! And again at 1:06:50. This video has all of it Marta-fans! Shout-out to Susie! I have the same problems when waking up in the morning. I just skip mornings now as much as I can, because if I wake up later I don't have those at all, when I used to think it just took time for me to warm and wake up. Good to see you found your daddy's gift! Doggie atc's definite favo's!

[@lenoradavis3843]

I so enjoyed this video!!! I was having a blast watching your creativity. Thank you for sharing and teaching us!!

[@juneribbons5196]

Making a totally new comment on the pinkie two with the radish dots. I said in the previous comment that I wasn't sure. I should have known that you's pull it off with flying colors. You always do. I simply love, love, love it now that you've finalized it

[@Laura0I]

I love watching your work of art, I'm learning something new everyday thanks to you. Thank you very much

[@nogashavit8115]

I just have to say you're an amazing person and I really enjoyed to watch your videos . . Because of you, I started yesterday to do Art Journal and it was so fun. so thank you.

[@donnaconaway6702]

I am going to use 3" x 5" blank recipe cards, so I do not need to cut papers. Gesso, here I come. I suppose I could cut the 3" x 5" cards in half to make even smaller cards like ATCs. Thanks for forgoing having the video SPED up. Love the anticipation. Now to search through my stash. My stash is getting larger bit by bit. I have a large pantry and things are stored and labeled in stacks in half of it. The best thing is that all I needed to buy was the shoebox size bins and some larger ones too. I then grab the bins and set them across the front of my table. I gather up a bin of unsorted items that are not in a stacked bin. The items I use every day can go in this. Put the stuff in a bin with the lid kept off all the time. I like order, but getting messy does not bother me. I suppose I could cut the 3" X 5" cards in half to be more the size of the ATC card. What was the traditional ATC size? I think you mentioned it. Maybe... I am creating WITH YOU for the first time. I am going to do this some more!!

[@bettyhall9777]

Those are beautiful , I love butterflies . They are all so pretty, tfs, hope you have a blessed day 😊 😄 😉

[@Patricia-wh7kc]

Marta, I really had to laugh when you talked about not creating and just watching the videos. I do that, as I enjoy watching the videos so much it is hard for me to stop and create. Your work is so beautiful and I could sit here all day and just watch. I addicted :)

[@paulinemycock8461]

Thank you for the inspiration I have used some of my oddments up and used playing cards as the atc backing card

[@MichelleWellsINSPIRE]

I love atc's. Great video

[@wendyzilli9735]

Absolutely gorgeous Marta⭐️

[@angelaadams9806]

I am so glad I ran into this particular video of yours. I did not know what atc's were. It is going to give me a smaller platform/format to try this multi media out with. Thank you so much.

[@janetb.buchman5846]

love your work so pretty,Im trying new things and love it!!!!!

[@EsteeDarla]

I love you give so much to learn from to us, like how to use products how to incorporate anything you got laying around and how to multi-task products and fine use for everything that if not for your channel allot of us would have stuff sitting not being used but you show a way to really bring a creative side out in anyone.

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

As a rookie to this craft, I got a great dea,l 5 decks, perfect ATC size of blanks. I created a very personal one that will become my business card. Doing sets as you show seems astheistcally pleasing. Any &all shipments will include a ATC. Thank u for a great tutorial 🫶

[@Nathalie_MR]

thanks for this video Marta. I wasn't interested that much in doing ATCs but you've inspired me to try. I have a few ephemera packs that I haven't been able to use in anything. Watching your video made me realize that they would be great for this kind of project. :)

[@luciamcgill63]

Beautiful ATCs , I just love, love, love listening to your voice =)

[@sylviacrafts6704]

"I'm thinking this dog doesn't have the best face"😂 you're so funny ,I just love watching your videos because you are funny ,sweet,inspirational and your art is lovely.

[@lesleydeeming9479]

Loved these ATC's. I used to swap them but have not made any for a long time, you have inspired me to make some and I remember how much I loved them. 😀TFS x

[@pamellis3725]

Stunning ATC's!!! I am going to try my first ones for next month's challenge at MTW!! Thank-you for the win!!! You have no idea how much that cheered me up!!!

[@joancurrie4539]

Oh my gosh.... These ATC's are amaze ball's!! I'm in love!!! I so enjoy doing my ATC's and sometimes I never wanna use my papers but this has most certainly made me look at my papers with new eyes... Gonna tag you into some of our ATC's when we finished to see what us ladies get up to here in New Zealand!Thanks heaps for this tutorial was fantastic to watch:)

[@mariedovinson7766]

really enjoyed this one. Q&A would be lovely. congrats to the winners too xx

[@juneribbons5196]

These are Very Pretty. After Christmas I will be more active and join in with some of the challenges. With pulling mussels in my low back and down my Rt leg. Unpacking alone has been a challenge for me. Then I'm making almost all of my Christmas gifts as I do each year. Some of my crafting supplies are still packed. I know now which boxes They are in but those may have to wait till next year. I've seen Pam from Paper Outpost make horrizintal striped blending pocket tags and journaling cards from her long strips. Some are wide and some are narrow. I've used mine down to the tiniest strips on the diagonal for tags. I even made a junk journal cover. I prefer the bigger brighter butterflys better, but that's my taste ! I love everything else about them. The white dots and the white splashes are the touch that these three needed. I just caught myself saying uhh..... When you added the yellow and brown to the dogs

[@elainecreighton7941]

I really love these ATC'S, the are beautiful!! Now I want to make some, I participated in a swap once

[@yvonnedette33]

I love it all, I love butterfly's just like you. I'm mad about them, they are so pretty. I am learning a lot watching your videos - thanks so much

[@BohemianCrafting]

Thank you so much Marta for all your tutorials.I learned so much from you.I watched this video twice before I start working alongside with you and I love what I created :D :D totally awesome tutorial as always.Thank you xx

[@sharonreckers179]

I love watching and creating while you are creating and that’s what I am doing tonight it’s 0245in the morning here in Cali where I am

[@cherylcappellini8157]

Thanks Marta !!!!!

[@acrookedpinky2689]

i know about a.t.c's, but i just started making them a few weeks ago only cause im still learning about mixed media.

[@maryklassen9322]

Yes, You did well. I have made 55 cards while watching you (and others) obliviously my supplies are much different than your so my cards are very different but I learned a lot from you. I do not have any of the social media that you have so I have no venue to post and hash tag you.

[@sharonolsen6579]

I just love your videos. It's a lot like crafting with a friend... (who never sleeps... *giggle*) ... thanks for sharing another great one!! :)

[@judithannboyer7099]

Lol, I am creating with you Marta 👍🏻😀

[@charlottevanstraten339]

It is 2:00am here too! I am a night owl! But I can do things alone and not infringe on my husband's space in the day. Watching what I want!

[@LindaBellangelkisses]

Love this ATC's Marta!! You know how much I love you and your work......A lot OX!!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

Linda did you watch the video till the end ???

[@LindaBellangelkisses]

Yes I did, do you ask because I put (this) ATC? That should have been( these) ATC's. Of course I watch all your video's til the end and more then one time also. :}

[@LindaBellangelkisses]

OMG Marta, I went back and watched again, I think I shut it off right when you were starting to say goodbye. Thank you so much and I am sending my address now.....

[@grammatoots]
