HEUSA - Halloween ATC Series - Techniques - June

I am so excited to continue the Halloween ATC swap series for this year! There will be 9 months of ATC swaps, so that by the end you will have an entire 9 pocket sheet filled up. Join one or all - there will also be a make-up month in October.

We are going to do something a little different this year - instead of an overall theme for the series, we will be focusing on different crafting techniques each month.

For June, will be making an ATC featuring moving parts - I do not mean just dangles off the ATC, but a part of the overall design that moves - it could be a flap, something that spins, something that is jointed, etc. It could represent a door, a body part, whatever you choose. Make sure whatever your moving feature is, it is fastened well and does not fall off in transit

You must also include at least 3 other elements or design techniques in your ATC design. This may include rubber stamping, painting, collage. Please no sticker slapping.

Send the completed ATC to your partner in a plastic sleeve, place in a notecard and send with a brief note, your name and swap name.

Each month will feature a new technique - Here is the line up I have planned so far:

• Jan - tape transfer
• Feb - ATC with Faux paper finish background
• March - ATC with a coin
• April - ATC from a collaged masterboard*
• May - ATC with a non-Halloween postage stamp
• June - ATC with moving parts
• July - ATC with a pocket
• August - ATC with book page collage background
• September - Shaker ATC
• October - make up month or senders choice

Many of the swaps will have a link to a youtube video for ideas and/or inspiration. If you have any questions on any of the upcoming ATC swaps, just let me know.
