I’m feeling the love from you all lately for this series of Artist Trading Card Daily posts so I thought that I would create something to celebrate that.
The background was created by heat embossing white embossing powder onto Super Smooth cardstock and then brushing over some light coloured inks, which I then spritzed lightly with water and allowed to dry.
This was then layered onto coordinating cardstock.
The sentiment panel was created using a random word stamp, (no idea who made it or where it came from), which I stamped onto white textured cardstock with black Versafine ink.
This was then punched out using a mini circle punch and layered onto cardstock that matched the layer used on the background.
I created strips of matching cardstock in order to wrap around the ATC with a metal ruler and craft knife.
The flowers were created using a mini flower punch. I cut lots of them out, glued two together to form each flower and pressed the centres into a foam sheet using an embossing tool, from my Tonic Studios flower forming set, to give them shape. I then glued an Anita’s Mini Gem into the centre with some PVA glue.
To assemble I attached the wrap strips to the background with PVA. Then added the love sentiment circle. I found some thin scrap strips of white cardstock in my re-use pile and folded them in half and glued in place with Pinflair Glue gel onto which I also placed the flowers.
And there we have it, another ATC for the collection (and a whole lot of love just for you).
I hope that you like it and that it may inspire you to have a go at these manageable mini makes.

Hi John
I came upon your blog whilst on you tube looking for some tutorials for using my new Scan n Cut machine. I LOVE IT. I’M SO INSPIRED . Thank you for taking time to share all your creativity with us. I haven’t come across ATC;s before and wondered if you could tell me the dimensions for the card, as I want to have a go too. Thank you as well for putting together the tutorials for the Scan n cut. One question though, I have tried several times to download the SVG files but for some reason its not working for me even though I am following the instructions you have put on the site. Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.
I look forward to seeing you on Create and Craft next week.
A very happy crafter

Not sure why this would be Debbie. All links have been checked and work just fine.
Might be worth giving it another try.

Love it, John! Pretty colors – I like the cloudy look in the background. Thanks once again for sharing!
P.S. I was so excited to find a die that cuts paper in the shape of the dimensional bow you made on another card. It’s dimensional and so cool looking. Thank you for the inspiration!
