Welcome to Old Box ATC Swap #5!

Lets turn some of your old boxes in to their own pieces of art.

What do you need to do?

You will need to crop an area of an old box to an ATC size (64mm x 89mm). Which can actually be harder than you think. Some examples are; food packaging, toy boxes, record sleeves, office supplies, etc.

Embellishment info

If you wish to embellish your atcs further then that is up to you - however, this is NOT required so please do not rate your partner harshly if they have chosen not to do so.

Sometimes its more the thought that has gone into chosing that area rather than just to complete it quickly.

What is nice about this swap is that there isnt the added pressure of doing too much embellishment so it can ease some newer members into ATCs

ATC's

For this swap you will be making 3 ATCs for 3 people - so you'll make and receive 9 cards in total!

To find out more about ATCs please go here

Requirements to join

Please only join if you have a rating of 4 or over. If you feel you have been rated unfairly in the past please contact me.

Newbies with no ratings are welcome to join - however please make sure your profile is filled out before joining.

This is an international swap.

Happy swapping!

I have cut down on my committments- but- I do NEED to use up some more of the stack of boxes accumulated on my craft room floor. This has been fun for the past two so I of course, will do this one also.

I'm with Cathy-was only going to commit to a swap a month after the ones I'm in are completed-but I enjoy this one--I have been collecting some fun boxes in the meantime.

thanks for hosting - Rachel

i have to say, it is rather addictive :D

I was looking through my house today at products that come in something other than boxes. I tend to buy things that way when possible to reduce my trash footprint. Bags, for instance.

Will a bag or label attached to an ATC back be within the rules of the swap, or should I start a swap for labels only? Not that it'll stop me from participating in this swap, I just want to open up my horizons...

labels and bags are fine :), i've also used cards which necklaces come on which arn't really boxes.

so it doesn't matter if it is too flimsy oto be used alone as an ATC but needs mounting on another piece of card? My more interesting 'boxes' seem to be card sleeves from around plastic packs and they aer thinner thanmost actual boxes.

If its too flimsy you might need to mount it on card

stlbarb, vintageprincess, and Merri Amelie - your cards have been sent out! I really hope you like them :)

Animalchatter, MadMadam, and Cherrythepig, your cards are in the post office but probably won't be postmarked and sent on their way until tomorrow. The window was closed by the time I got there after work so I dropped them in the slot. Be on the look out for them. Lana

OMG, I have to send an apology out to my partners. I totally flaked out and only sent 1 ATC per person. I am so sorry. I am going to send out 2 more each this weekend. When I received from others and realized what I did, I felt so foolish!

Barb Adams aka stlbarb

Sheila Vazquez aka Sheila Vanessa

Stephanie Lee aka Mokona

Again so sorry!
