ATC for Beginners-Part 1-Background

[@janagiraud1056]

Thanks for the video. I am very new to this and I love the idea! Awhile back I was out yard sailing and ran across an estate sale. The woman I tire house was filled with crafting stuff. Ink pads, stamping stuff, paints, scrapbooking materials, jewelry making stuff. When I say a filled house, I mean every room was stacked to the ceiling with all sorts of amazing items. At the time, I wasn't smart enough to take advantage of what was in front of me. From now on, you can bet I will be.

[@susiesusansue3725]

I am new to ATC/JJ/Crafting. This video was such a great help. Thank you for sharing and Inspiring. X-Susan

[@faithgilfillan4777]

This is great just what I needed to get me going. Because I've felt so intimidated by my full page art and junk journal. So this helps to break it down for me. I learn by verbal and showing instructions and you nailed it. Thank you Miss Kelly, have a blessed day love.

[@catherinegoldie3432]

Thanks for the inspiration your Art is amazing, love from Scotland.x💕

[@AngelaJonesPoetryStoriesArt]

[@cheryl7476]

I have made ATCs for a long time now, and I found this a great "get your feet wet" tutorial for beginners. Hey, your nails look great!

[@DeDeaneHorseinAroundWithCrafts]

[@knittingandthings]

Yayayayay thank u that makes me so happy to hear!!!!!

[@peggysparling9378]

love your video, very informative, especially on making cards from a poster board. Since I'm new to this type of craft, I just assumed one could purchase at Walmart, well my Walmart does not carry them. I did pick up a P B at $tree n will make some. Now I'll watch part 2. TFS 🤓😎

[@knittingandthings]

Yayayay. Please share with me what u do. I’m all over social media. And if u have. Any questions on anything please ask!!!!

[@eileenmoore7725]

This is great! Starting making ATCs. TFS

[@buttercupcottagecards7810]

LOL “share me around like your loose friend!” I think I’ll make a series with that as the quote!! Too funny!

[@purplenanna1272]

Oooh,thanks for the embossed wallpaper tip Kelly!.I hadn't thought of that!,and not used a brush on my inks either! X

[@melodyluvsherhobbies9454]

I'm a newbie to ATC and I love your video! You're soo happy and cheerful, and give an awesome tutorial! Can't wait to see more! 💖🎨

[@roxannewall2585]

Thank you Kelly. I will enjoy this series a lot!

[@paulavanetten8543]

Excellent video for us beginners just starting out. I don't feel creative but you make me feel optimistic to try!!!

[@annalba]

This was so awesome , I am blown away at your creativity, I am retired now ( health issues too) so I am getting my crafting on, Want to try new things you made this so easy. .Have a wonderful day.

[@BallooNeccesities]

Thank you so much! I only just learned about ATC cards and swaps in the Willowing FB group and wanted to learn more! The fact that you are talking in the video is super helpful to me as I have little ones so paying super close attention to the non voiced speed run tutorials most have are harder for me to learn from. 😘💖 Much love from Puyallup, Wa.

[@knittingandthings]

Thank you sooooo much!!!! Happy holidays!!!!

[@KelsPaintedParadise]

Fab A.T.C's! I love making atc's too. Great fun! Tfs :) x

[@daniellelovesart6702]

[@tracyreda7538]

Thank you! Im trying to find supplies to make a certain themed one, and Im new to this.

[@alsoarty1]

Wow! These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

[@susannash5115]

[@truckerjanierenteria6970]

[@abidaakhanom3454]

I love this soooo much I can't wait for the next part. I was following along with u and made three BEAUTIFUL backgrounds. Thank u so much Kelly u inspire me Sooo much. Have a great day. BYE

[@cccarignan3864]

love it I am just starting on these and plan to leave them to people to inspire them when they are not looking... thanks for the tips

[@sandyausting7721]

I am dabbing with ATC'S today I love those colors

[@silkeschumann7261]

3:05 For the metrics among us viewers that 635 x 889 mm. Basically a large business card. DIN A7 is 74 x 105 mm which probably is close enough. So you could use A7 cardstock packages 100 pcs per unit, I guess. :)

[@shelbyanderson4067]

Your the one person who thinks slapping something together is art

[@silkeschumann7261]

Slapping something together is art if the artist defines it as such. A ripped black canvas is art, as defined by a famous artist and an exhibit in a renowned art museum for decades now. Just sayin'. Taking offense when measurements don't match the standard which when I get this right only applies because the baseball cards go with these measurements and there are binders to go with those. That has nothing to do with art but with availability and convenience. :)

[@maryellencookmeynig9034]

Kelly, thank you so much for the great video. You make this look easy enough that I could make some. 😀

[@grammatoots]

love the video very informative and enjoyable to watch thank you for sharing

[@TheOldladyB]

Love them. Years ago I bought a large book of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper. Very ugly stuff. Lol. So going to turn it into atc's. And a lot of other stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@connectionoflivesandinterests]

*I save & cut up lots of my papers to make my own confetti for shaker cards & things. 🤗🤗🤗*

[@bethturner968]

I loved the video very helpful as always lots of love

[@kathyspiers8438]

Not a beginner anymore but still loving these!! You must do a nail video!! Do you put them on yourself or does Emily put them on for you?? I tried and they looked so stupid and all the filing down to get them to fit my nails...a nightmare but yours look FABULOUS!! Please do a video sometime--would really appreciate it!!

[@TinaLovesToCraft]

i love them cant wait to see more thanks for sharing

[@MyCraftyJourney]

exactly what I needed! Thank you. I am wanting to try these do this is great information and visuals. Love you videos!

[@sandralewis9873]

Hi, Kelly. This is a very informative video and an inspiration for those of us who have never made ATC's before. Question: Why was your video interrupted with an ad? Very annoying.

[@karinmoonhawk3720]

They are beautiful Kelly :D and as always Thank You for another great informative video :D Big Hugsss xxx

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

Thank you Kelly I just joined a card swap group and they doing a ATC swap this video was very helpful

[@acrookedpinky2689]

awesome a.t.c's.i just started making some myself,and ive watched a ton of vids about them.

[@paulamoors]

New to Atc but loving your videos

[@ivettec665]

Very nice, love them

[@pinklight4443]

Kelly did you go to art shcool where did you learn how to do art?

[@monawall5747]

Thanks for showing me how to make these ATC'S cards, I am in a swap and this is very helpful since its My First time making them

[@JenQ_73]

I need to know what is the cover on craft table, the brown stuff. I see this in all videos I watch

[@natesnana4955]

Ranger craft mat

[@maryjones107]

thank you very much I did not know what they was now I do lol lol just like doing a pocket things thank you very like watching you

[@dragonflyer59]

Have you done the vid of embossing without the machine?

[@subreniajohnson4509]

I have noticed playing cards are the same size so I use them instead of posterboard

[@TheHedgewitch18]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

So you just take like an embossed card and paint it ? When you did the black why didn't the black show up, that made it so pretty. I couldn't get into this until that part. Some paint brushes are expensive and I'm not that creative so I'm not going to invest a lot into this but which would work better? The craft paint/regular paint brushes or makeup brushes?

[@maryannmcmillin1738]

Love these ATCs 💖 I have only made a few, but I want to start making them just to give away😊 So not use to doing Art on a small size...so I have been Practicing. Kelly do you do inches too? Now that is really hard for me...my fingers don't always work 😕 TYFS...LYABM. ❤️❤️❤️

[@suethewino]

Love this so much thank you so much teach xoxo

[@lyndafleetwood9421]

Great ideas and helpful info. Thanks.

[@Elizabeth45840]

Totally Awesome!

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

That was funny about the medication, I actually LOL and it's pretty hard to make me laugh. I'm not making fun of no one, I laughed because I'm on alot of medication and it was random when she said it. Wasn't expecting it.

[@knittingandthings]

Niki Reynolds no offence. If we don't laugh we will cry sometimes.

[@BelindaShort]

Yeah make sure people know that poster board is not archival and it will yellow. You can still get good card stock cheap that is acid free.

[@Laineyslife]

Awesome video thank you!!

[@tonihall7810]

Awesome TFS

[@ivymarino1]

TFS, I learned a lot.

[@Queenofdamned13]

Omg Kelly I can't stop watching you!!! I would love to get a music sheet I've been checking in second hand stores but no luck at all and neither have a computer or printer.....well if anybody have extra music sheets help this crafter plz 💜💜💜

[@knittingandthings]

Claxy Roots I will look and see if I do. I'll let u kno. R u on fb??

[@dragonflyer59]

do an image search for music pages...like if you have a favorite song or just need musical notes...find the ones you like best and print them out...if you want them to look vintage them you could save the photo to your gallery, and make the changes with a photo shop app...

[@BuyingSpace]

I so need help. Thanks so much for showing us how to. Yahoo is ancient now. Weird to think about. Time ⏳

[@robin_snest1018]

Very helpful!

[@belindaw5849]

great video! TFS!

[@jennifercreek6314]

Could I get a link to your FB group? I tried searching it but wasn’t sure which one was the right one.

[@michellewalker5294]

Question: can I use glitter cardstock paper for this? Or is that too rough a surface?

[@knittingandthings]

Yes you could. It would be a nice texture I’d love to see when your are done

[@cathy6433]

Why are you using for your craft mat?

[@knittingandthings]

it is a non stick ranger craft mat

[@craftingwithme3494]

Yeah I messed up 3 pages lol.

[@knittingandthings]

oh no which were they

[@pinkbutterfly4079]

Very cute TFS☺😃

[@cecilys5507]

You don't sell them - they're for trading only. If you sell them, they are technically no longer Artists TRADING Cards.
