It’s a small world! I was watching this and I wondered if you are in the same swap group as me so with some super sleuthing I discovered that this July you actually received one of my ATC’s. I’ve learned so much from you 😍

[@sheilaghwhite6701]

I thought you might have ATCoins in your KZbin library. So glad I looked for you first. You have a lovely collection of stamps. The musicians are great. Now it’s time for me to have try. Thanks Teresa 😍😍

I love the idea of making your own word sticker. The coins are amazing too.

[@dianeescoffier8652]

Bravo!!! How cool is this!! The gelli print coins are beautiful and the homemade clippings stickers are a brilliant idea! Thank so much, Ms. Teresa, for the inspiration and the tips...so appreciate them.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thanks Diane - glad you found this useful xxx

[@Cuttlebuglover]

Love these coins. What a brilliant idea to cut your own phrases out of book pages... I’m going to copy this, something to do when I’ve just got a short bit of time, thank you for the idea xx

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - I still love my Tim Holtz stickers but I like the fact that these are unique!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you so much!

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

Awesome. Thank you Teresa.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou x

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

I've made fabric post cards and ATC's but not coins. Interesting! I lived for a year in England in the late '50's and fell in love with the country and people.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - the coins are a 'new thing' but it is a fun size to work on so I can see why they have become popular.

[@vcolondres1616]

Outstanding outstanding absolutely stunning

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou xx

[@vanessarobinson1080]

Lovely job once again! I use free samples of anaglypta wallpaper from shops (Uk) they make fab impressions !

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - great idea to use anaglypta. Hadn't really thought about that. I've got bubble wrap and corrugated card, etc but I bet you have found some great designs on the wallpaper.....off to B&Q LOL!!!

[@nicolethijs5428]

In the end you need a lot of things, hundreds of pounds worth, inkts, gelli plates, brayers, textures mats, embossingplates, embosing powder, paper cutter, sixxex machine and dies for that, papers, heattool and so on and so on......

[@dakrela]

Good work - thanks to show

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou x

[@QueenMabelandDoris]

I find them so addictive! I just filmed my first ATC video too xxx💕

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - going to pop over and take a look at yours!

[@QueenMabelandDoris]

Teresa Morgan thank you so much xxx💕

[@DrummerGrrrl]

These colors are fantastic! What a great video! I'm primarily an abstract acrylic painter but I like to incorporate ephemera and Gelli-plate designs into my paintings. I wonder at the longevity of these neon colors with higher-end acrylic paints? But, then again, I always varnish my paintings after I'm finished with them.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - the colours are amazing aren't they! Here is the link to the DecoArt Neon product info, not sure if it helps you any (it may be worth contacting them if you need more details) shop.decoart.com/americana-neons

[@kensilv9518]

Enjoying your videos. What Tim Holtz stamp set is the first one you show? Thank you!

[@evelynedavid9564]

Wow ! These are awesome ! Would love to swap with you.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou!! Some are already for organised swaps but I do have some left. Send me a PM on Facebook if you want to trade and I am sure we can sort something out!!

[@tinamccann8344]

Where did you get the texture plate you used in the second print?

[@ChameleonGalaxy]

I love your mini brayer what kind is it?

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou so much x It's a Ranger brayer

[@vcolondres1616]

Oh my......what kind of paper did you use?

[@TeresaMorgan]

To be honest - I have no idea. Nothing special. I just use smooth white card or printer paper, no specific brand.

[@vcolondres1616]

@@TeresaMorgan Ty soooooo very much

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

How do you store and show your coins?

[@TeresaMorgan]

I trade a lot of coins, and store them in the 9 pocket pages that I keep ATCs in (trading card sleeves).

[@mawmawvee]

What do you use to make the circles for your trading coins? I had asked someone and she told me it was heavy water color paper, but I can't find this person. She said she got it at Michael's, so I'm asking several people whose videos I watched, so if you could help me, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou!! I use greyboard (cereal box weight card) for the backing and then just glue my papers/prints to that and embellish.

[@mawmawvee]

Thanks Teresa. I've got all kinds of that kind of cardboard, so I can just use that. If I want, I can stick light watercolor paper to the topside and be all set.

[@cbss1487]

What is the name of the cling printing board/measure plate you are using?

[@TeresaMorgan]

Do you mean the stamping platform?? Mine is made by Crafts Too, but there are many others on the market.

[@janevincent7103]

These are great, Teresa. I'll be making them once my newly ordered 2 1/2" punch gets here. What facebook group(s) do you trade with? TFS JaneXOXO

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou xx I trade coins in a couple of groups: UK Stampers Forum - facebook.com/groups/ukstampersforum/ (open internationally as for the coin swap we mail direct to an assigned partner) Artist Trading Coins UK Swaps - facebook.com/groups/188698838620167/ (UK only as it is a hosted swap requiring a return stamped addressed envelope)

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

Are you familiar with Mike Deakin's work?

[@TeresaMorgan]

I do follow Mike's KZbin so am familiar with his work x

[@DoloresJRush]

I like your trading coins except I refuse to cut up books for printed words as I'm a family historian/researcher. So I have computer generated my own word sheets or cut words and phrases out of packaging. By the way, my husband descends from a Morgan. His ancestor's ancestor - the first Morgan to emigrate to America came from Wales.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Totally understand your reasons. How interesting re your husband. Maybe we are distant relations. x
