I have a blast making ATCs to trade on Swap-Bot.com. Here are a few I haven’t blogged yet.
Oh my word, I just got tot he bottom of this post and came back up to add this note. I can’t believe how many projects I found I’ve never shown you! And how many ATCs ended up in this post! WOW!
![enjoy the ride ATC enjoy the ride ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUP-LQY1Ja60-14g6tbepGLQPda7mznd94rXvg_NeJGi77EMBGg6WaGu0t5ZL-p9wsCW54X_pi0XdFQbsIgPxZiKQoetAvIcw4Gq_jrfhIOhSLP0bmkLIHEUEhjMvfA0VGCzMdYA/?imgmax=800)
I think this one was for a book page swap. The requirement was to use a real book page as part of the ATC.

I didn’t execute it very well but this one was showcasing kissing technique. The letters were kissed with a dotted background stamp.
![butterfly and swirl ATC butterfly and swirl ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrmM-Ybq6tIkOufdx-Pt5lBZybAo4RpxtLLCGVSVBjyIRiw76HuvXCJjXCpPOaBvtRmhQNY56bm5NO3a-xKskUtyqevyLbWV9MEp-z1-TKO_4mJEQE9Dv2AIh0Yh_wIeLpJj3Z9A/?imgmax=800)
I made a card like this then miniaturized it into an ATC. The lighting was bad so the colours are way off but I still love the design.
![grid tech ATC grid tech ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfqIBZwboYjbbwDu3XOG8rWk1rhkPy0qUwu5tdfOlfNcEZy-22ElCJQJP5gdSW4hGUg2zfI8viJI0IeGOPWZrN9BSbVNO7iG88-QCLfYTmV2W_lLiDGU2861iVAlB2YpL7ife64Q/?imgmax=800)
This one shows grid technique where you stamp after embossing lines in the paper. It looks kinda like tiles and I think it suited this stamp well.
![flip flop ATC flip flop ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-jmrZr4mrZ2wrjOGlED0NqIUFpYBDYM_Ze2IOfWIHcX1XSz-5PVmZf1sJBR3La9MCOeDu5bgPNRHDRgcHow51n3rikv7ZHhK4GdQCdXMGHUe7iDO-jMHpLvMxnN7M_Rr5fFvnVQ/?imgmax=800)
I’m sure this one was for a beach themed swap. I absolutely LOVE this paper. The whole thing is rows upon rows of pretty flip flops. Here I trimmed the paper into a cool border and I added gold glitter to look like sand. The paper flower was cut apart and placed to resemble palm tree branches leaning over the scene.
![interactive ATC craft stuff interactive ATC craft stuff](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbmqVYTMXLlYSdj-zzV2T2yYZT9lXhBrTYHr7Mpps2n8Gr1Ya25cGu6dcjucKwWzOFKeK52W6HeT59kn5jIuxrJKlRdSh2VDnQtmNbsXg0NuvOQtbTtNeJv3ChTrKuKNPA8scsg/?imgmax=800)
This one was for an interactive ATC. The wheel inside rotates to show different craft supplies and one image has the sentiment ‘...crafting.’
![icecream ATC icecream ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiySkiobmkjch9iuxwZYdTjfOdqiL5cu79YbyyEPbpGiCrs9ojS43DRzZKJpt3qbX2L70T_IAtbnnDb3gKruI9gM7trkEe0NKFIZV-8uwP6h5ddLG7mFqrd_8BgS1JCIA7swou_wQ/?imgmax=800)
This one was probably summer fun or sweet treats or similar. I added glossy accents to the chocolate sauce.
![shell ATC shell ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotmVAO-Dqn9ntNKPR3VP9svwdy47QqdvjFBmFqVux90m5v70PF9bsYA56M-HLShUNwGejTyp5FriMAh23GTWbIZiQg0iEwsjU04sWi9L06LbPrCSMKObSjo9JbKk3BKMW92t8XQ/?imgmax=800)
Another beach themed one. I love this real fishing net I got when I was in Ocean City, NJ. I have scads of it and so I don’t have to hoard it! I’d decorate my whole house in a beach theme if it wouldn’t seem so silly in the middle of our too long winter!
![faux marble shell ATC faux marble shell ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqZ4FuUhKy1Xdps-TKRaqFBrsmv651njhseU-zkPuQgW3J_5OgTmqEHbw08-ezPBjRUd66-fXaPE0CxpvTKeHaoQHhsKbHoUlFHw06MrJJ6Zxio78BWwxat4xbp7-BNWYBa1Yuw/?imgmax=800)
This one was to use a new technique. i may have tried faux marble a million years ago but if so, I know I didn’t make anything with it. I also tried metallic rub-on paste using the die as a stencil for the first time.
![school ATC school ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3JSbhVsTHH6S0CyG1VruM1RCTtyqKutt-JhBMpQR78iJtZ5ftTJFix19fvYmgNnuR_jM6hLAsEsY7WQV7rVOO21Vh9Dt51w7OBi4gQLefUTrx4miAk7TKY-5bNVP5d4Cv6wTgA/?imgmax=800)
This one was ‘add a number’. The number could be in any form you liked.
![no adhesive ATC no adhesive ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPkSXjBdvRnaKoHYFbUQD9mcLoRANxNTu19cEgu6ZGTuUc8C0Bzsxjrw-EzvbZdgsjTQhLW8bxSSxW0wj2lGuoLaU3_9MloiSm7NFM-MX4Z0d6k2TBQG1E2uqe1MWQU_kRWOQieA/?imgmax=800)
This was one of the biggest challenges I’ve done. No adhesive allowed on this one! Can you see the techniques I used?
![no adhesive ATC back no adhesive ATC back](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp3g0SQqwPQ9mGMt4Qluik8kbUDGRUl-pXKtAtSMqr9ia0iJzXJrrYjcy4YJZdQo75EUFyGVpj4sqrV3xUBB2BUA3S_9wY1cvOXmWNQfOKpyiPmDtbWwLbjdaC58hNHusg5L6Buw/?imgmax=800)
You can definitely see them from the back! A brad holds on the label. Slits hold the background paper in place and the brad reinforces that. I sewed on the doily and the button which holds on the ribbon and the flower. I had lots of other ideas too but these just ended up being the ones I used.
![no paper ATC no paper ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4ZEAIoCrKy5zIpWjLGkdoKwLi1KkK0wDdxy7UgfboctvnMTiFXGl68fkfJRb5_ubyzbtKfb4M1-ZTgdDxYih_GUhOlgDd-Pe17IjTj9FBKL9dX1ucupxZn3Ni1rc0Ez9XUv7TtQ/?imgmax=800)
I know the photo is atrocious, so sorry. This was another tricky challenge to make an ATC without paper! Yikes! I used plastic from packaging as the base and the rest you can see.

Vintage Bathing Beauty ATC.
![vintage gentleman ATC vintage gentleman ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9AHINtsLgmLcLqShyphenhyphenKubDx2UBmAnetMo0TbJ1M-TWl_wo87tqv0tgNZP3KoSGhhR0RUQndtrgn4v_1fEnYqH5fRvscDLU2hf2PAnbo3tUWznsBva3E1qKr7d7ttceXOXLlyPQ1Q/?imgmax=800)
I have no idea what I made this one for. Hmmm…
![kitten ATC kitten ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLD2raGgZ5WLug6HRet3DXwkYwGK6XxTArfjn6jNtzvTTXoQMfFrheHlVfv6gB-XLXIa1Sm5YDVo2Dtmd8uHJcoTovriXR-XvieEP1U17ksMLkRR0fjQZApYvZMFXVMoQA7q8m6g/?imgmax=800)
Copic coloured kitten ATC. According to the website, which has a story for each character they draw, these two are friends. No munching in imminent.
![daffodils ATC daffodils ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9VCHy0SBNIvLmfnQyR6u2eFkGWgeYyIv2ysFo7Ibs1PVxkXIXb_b02qd8A3kKcKUb0LGoK5lMN-jv-rc3LRPqhltnY8Q26RltdwlFr1Z7BbeBFFS8CG8jXz19Tx9ny4zMAJPrg/?imgmax=800)
I guess this one was for flowers. I am always working on making metal look shiny and realistic. Not sure if I got there or not…
![sweet summer treat or drink ATC sweet summer treat or drink ATC](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWo47nUQ7AoP_GrpRXnlAuHfJj5ClHeFuNmNY8QqqU7sIHMcHe18rJ68muakzx3lSFEaQg4QaBiIIPH2peSO624uh8wm9AJo370zx0qbH8bN5vUHh0luU3oAKpjzCJY0_yyHdDPQ/?imgmax=800)
I love using this embossing folder on the cone. Doesn’t it look so much like a real sugar cone? Summer treat or drink theme.

I think this one was for my Nature Series: Plants.

No idea, I made this one two years ago!
If you got this far, you deserve a gold star! Especially since I am always running behind with my swapbot swaps and I take most of these with my iPhone and they aren’t great photos. Thanks!
