Beautiful Things: An ATC a Day

I joined an "ATC a Day" swap for the month of July - you had to make 30 atcs and send them out to five people.  Half of the cards had to fit specific themes and the other half were free-theme.  (I ended up making a few more than 30, so there are extras shown here.)

Theme: use food packaging.  I used a kohiko rice bag, a chiquita banana sticker, some tea boxes and a town house crackers box.

My theme: stamped images.  

Theme: sewing on a card; and a card with holes.

My theme: I just got a die cutter!

Theme: washi tape collage

Free theme ones.  Some coloring pages, some "gifts for you" and a washi/stamp combo.

Make 100: #83 to beyond 100!

Make 100: themed ATCs

 #76 - 80: "Colouring in" - coloring book atcs; plus a tree atc.

 #81 - "Birthday Cupcake"

#82: "Upcycled" - cheerios box washi collage.

Make 100: Papercrafted ATCs

#71 - 75: My Cup of Tea, Time for wine, Let it snow, "Owl be seeing you" and happy birthday (with washi tape candles!).

Make 100: Cupcakes and leaves

#68 - the prompt was "Name your cupcake: create a cupcake and give it a name."
The title on the back states "also known as Susan".

In college, our gaming group regularly played a card game (Mao) that included adding new rules each round.  We eventually had to establish that there was a difference between "name your card" (the ace of spades) and "give your card a name" (Steve, lord of the squaresphere).  As the prompt instructions included both wordings, I had to do both.

#69 and 70 :Grapevines for "leaves" prompt.

Make 100: Tea and coloring

 #62, 63 and 64: "Found Images" - a teacup greeting card, an animals greeting card and a color-it-yourself ATC,

 #65, 66 and 67: "Tea for Two" - a paper pierced cup; a string art teapot and a stamped set of teacups.

 and a bonus: "Cover your Envelope" swap - no uncolored space allowed on the envelope.

Make 100: Found Images

When I stumbled across a swap for "Found Images: For these ATC you will find an image you like, adhere that bad boy to an ATC sized backing and THATS IT! " I knew just what to use!  I had saved some beautiful greeting card fronts, thinking I'd use them as ATC backs at some point but they were just too pretty to cover with anything.

Make 100: # 44, 45, 46 and 47.

Make 100: turtles and cats.

Make100: Starburst
