Artist Trading Card | Moon Shadow ATC for an upcoming ATC Swap

[@evelynrauseo467]

Your ATC's are wonderful! I love the idea of using the moon as the prompt for them, and creating dimension. I have a die cutting system, but I love that you always give your viewers alternatives in case they don't have every supply under the sun.TFS. 🙏🥰

Thank you, I try to be mindful that not everyone is an art supply hoarder like me😂

😂All YOU have to do is draw and cut it out!!! I appreciate that you announced the swaps and theme for August early. Congrats on 9K! These cards are great. I don't have a Sissix but I have a Cricut. I need to use it more. I got it for precise cut fabric when I was quilting but realized, quilting required too much perfection! Much harder to fix mistakes in quilting than in paper crafting and junk journaling. And now I'll be singing Moon Shadow all day too. 🎶🎼❤❤❤

Yes, I can't get that song out of my head!!! Thanks for the congrats on the 9K - now the next push is that 10K milestone! The cricut would definitely work for cutting some items to utilize!

Thanks for the inspiration, Pam! For some of my dies I place wax paper between the paper and the die for cutting and it pops out easily. :)

[@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia]

That’s a really good idea!!! Thanks for sharing, I will definitely give that a try!

They are very pretty cards. Another idea you might use when trying to work with intricate die cuts is to first run die through on a dryer sheet as if you were cutting them out then just pull the dryer sheet off). Then run the card stock through using that die. The dryer sheet serves to wax or lubricate the inside details of the dye and it is much easier to remove the card stock at that point. (You can save the dryer sheet to use again next time you need it.). The other thing you might try, is you discovered you could puncture through to the holes? I suggest you might try it from the other side of the die. (the solid side of the dye). you can see the holes there and insert the tip of your pick into those all the way around and that works to help push out card stock pieces. Easier to grasp the paper? I hope that makes sense. There’s always more than one way to do things. I just hope you would find this less frustrating.

Great tips Colleen! Thank you !! I don’t use a lot of the intricate dies because they are frustrating-this is worth a try!
