----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Are you ready for our next fun challenge? The DT is sharing with you their take on a great technique...Artistic Trading Cards (ATC). Never made one before you say?!?! Here is a video by DT Sandy giving you the basics on ATCs...


Here are the inspiration pieces created by SBC DT making their own ATCs- Artistic Trading Cards


 Carolyn - Granny Ma's Creations
 
My tip:  using scraps or pages out of old books come in handy for ATC's.

Cristina - VintagePink39
My Tip: Make a couple of these for some cute gift tags, or to hand out with your blog or other info on the back.

Tip: Mod Podge is a great adhesive when making ATCs!


Tip: When creating something outside of your comfort
zone create something you will use in your own crafting.
(check out my blog post for what this will be used for)

TiP:  Make your ATC a reflection of you by using things and techniques that you love!


 Marilyn - Marilyn's Crafts
Tip:  Create your own chipboard by gluing 3 pieces of regular card stock together.



Jennyfer - Jennyfer Creates
Tip: Use your favorite supplies and show off what you're good at!

We hope this technique inspired you along with the great design team projects. Your challenge:

Create a card or layout (2 chances to win with a layout) using the theme: 
"Love is in the Air"
 (hearts, xoxo, birds, skys, pinks, reds, etc.)

*****You do NOT have to do the "Artistic Trading Cards
 technique" for your project, just make sure it follows the challenge theme:
 Love is in the Air*****

This challenge ends on Saturday, Feb 15th at 9:00pm EST.  Also, you can join up to our Facebook group: Scrapbook Blessings Club for more fun, games, inspiration, tips and techniques.

  4. Just a quick question--the rules on the challenge rules page state "May enter multiple times as long as each submission is with a different creation". However, on the challenge post it states, 3 times. I'm wondering if you could clarify which it is. Thanks so much!

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
