Description:

This swap is for people who make ATCs. You'll have two partners. Create two ATC kits for each partner (for a total of four kits).

For the purpose of this swap, each kit should include at least the following:

  • 2 papers/cards cut to 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches

  • 1 focal point item

  • 1 embellishment

Feel free to include more if you'd like (i.e. ribbon, trim, other embellishments, stamped images, cutouts, punch outs, charms, stickers, ATC sleeves, etc.) The kits can be different or the same to each partner, but the kits to a single partner should differ.

Secure each kit for travel. For example: each kit can go in a snack-sized zipper bag or in an ATC sleeve that is taped secure across the top so pieces don't fall out.

A companion swap An ATC from an ATC Lovers' Kit is also posted. If you join this swap, you're eligible to join the companion swap where you'll make an ATC from one of the kits you receive and send it to a partner.

The fine print:

USA/Canada. Snail mail. 4.85 or higher rating. Newbies welcome with a completed profile and an understanding of what an ATC is. I review profiles after signups close.

"The kits can be different or the same to each partner, but the kits to a single partner should differ." I'm not sure what this means...Can you clarify please?

Quick question - can you please clarify what you mean by "1 focal point item"? I guess I am not understanding the difference between what the focal point item should be versus what you listed as items that could be sent as extras (punch outs, stamped images, cut outs). Could the focal point be a stamped image, for example?

Hope my question made sense. Thanks! :)

Artistic 04/30/2013 #

Yes. A focal point item could be a stamped image. It could be an embellishment. It could be fabric or fiber. An image, etc. It's what the focus of the ATC is about.

Essentially for this swap you're sending as a kits the bones of an ATC: two pieces of paper and two things to coordinate with it.

HTH, Artistic
