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.

Altered Trading Cards by Erin Reed

Design Team Member Erin Reed is having fun learning how she can add Makin's Clay® to almost any project.  Makin's Clay® is great for paper crafting - it is lightweight and flexible, and can be die cut and cut with craft punches.  Plus, it's acid free when dry so it's safe for memory books.   Erin created this great set of Artist Trading Cards, and used Makin's Clay® to make her dimensional hearts for the green cards.

Makin's Clay ATC's

Makin's Clay® is the perfect product for so many crafts and if you like to collect or trade Artist Trading Cards you need to give the a try.

One important thing to remember is that there is a small amount of shrink during the drying process of Makin's Clay® so be sure and wait until the clay is completely dry before cutting to the 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" size for your Artist Trading Cards.

Roll out your clay as thin as desired, let dry, cut to size and embellish it is that simple....here are some examples:

 For this one I used the blended clay technique

let the clay dry, cut into ATC size then stamped the image...

punched out a few stars and glued them on.

 For this on I simply rolled out some clay very thin,

let it dry and cut it into ATC size.  I used a stamp and then

stamped out Sweet Home and glued it onto the bottom.

For this one I used the Makin's Clay® Texture Sheets and Cutter

to create the squares......and stamped the words onto clay 

then cut them out and glued them on.

This is a piece of textured clay cute to the ATC size,

with scraps of blended clay cut into squares and glued onto the left side.

A pice of text was glued onto the right side with words stamped onto clay,

cut out and glued on top.
