By the Sea ATC's

Cindi McGee recently shared these dimensional mixed-media ATC's on her blog.    Cindi used Makin's Clay® to create her seahorses, starfish and octopus elements.  She also used the Makin's® Sea Shells Push Mold & Sand Texture Sheet from Set A.  Makin's Clay® is great for paper crafting - it is lightweight, flexible and acid free when dry.  It can be die cut (like these seahorses!), molded, craft punched, rubber stamped, and more.

Winter Wishes Artist Trading Cards

Welcome all, Donna here. I have a winter ATC (Artist Trading Card) made out of Makin’s Clay® that I am going to share with you today! Winter is not quite over yet so I am sending you some warm winter wishes. Let’s get to it!

Materials Needed:

Makin’sClay® - White

Color Box Blend-Hydranga

Glitter Glass

Printed or Stamped Words

Tools Needed:

Makin’s Professional® 

• Cutting Mat
• Professional Tool Kit – Roller Blade

Makin’s® 

• Clay Roller
• Texture Sheet Set A - Sand
• Push Mold – Christmas Nature

Ruler

Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive™

Directions:

Roll out white Makin’s Clay® big enough to cut ATC – 2 ½” X 3 ½”.

Lay texture sheet over clay and lightly roll over the top of the texture sheet, remove texture sheet.

Using a ruler and Makin’s Professional® Cutter blade, cut to size 2 ½” X 3 ½”.

Use push mold Christmas Nature and push clay into mold.  Since the molds are flexible, you can remove the molded clay pieces before they are dry, or if you prefer, let the clay dry and then remove.

Let all clay dry for 24 hours, then add color to textured background. I used Color Box Blend ink. Once inked I used a baby wipe to smear it in which is optional.

 Ink snowflakes very lightly and add glitter glass to snowflakes and edge of ATC.

Print or stamp words warm, winter, wishes.

Adhere snowflakes and words using Beacon’s 3-in-1 Adhesive.
