Thank you so much Nicole, I really really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful and whimsical ATC’s. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
One year, as an art teacher, I had 4th graders make ATCs. 4th grade study Indiana history ( my home state) so the cards were based on Indiana. I had lots of supplies plus lots of Indiana travel books and pamphlets they could also use. They made at least 3 cards...one to trade with me, one for them to trade with a classmate and one to keep. The kids had a great time making them. Principal and teachers were impressed! A retreat sounds great! Hope you all are feeling better soon 🙂
Thank you very much for making this tutorial i had no clue what ATCs were i am going to attempt you made it si easy thank you! My condolences on your dad's passing and i believe the squirrels are a sign started following you
So smart!! Thanks for the tip! Im 99% sure I took pictures of them, I should find those and print the pics out and put them in my book. Thank youuuuuu!
I like your kind of retreat...I'm very much like you...introvert with new people and a real extrovert with my friends. Also my retreat wouldn't involve cooking...a retreat requires relaxing as well. That flu you have is going around but doesn't last long. Take care of yourself and family 👍❣
Thank you Sharon!! For the first time ever, I'm feeling better before my family! Bob and Jackson are still feeling a bit ill. I couldn't agree more about not having to cook during a retreat. It wouldn't be much of a "retreat" if we had to cook.
Nothing wrong with liking and having different styles, in fact a bit of variety keeps the creative juices fresh! I love ATC's, really liking your ATC's, I just love vintage design, can't beat the 30's, 40s and 50's for fashion, really liking the figures you've got...simply divine darhling, divine 👩🎨 xx
I would love to go on a retreat with you, Nicole. Because if you can do it, so can I! I am so much like the way you described yourself. Most people who think they know me, think I am SO outgoing and bubbly, but really, I am dying inside. So I would really like to give something like this a try. It really does sound like so much fun! I will start saving my money now, because I am in Canada, and our money is 💩 right now! So I need to save double. However I AM 72, and well you know, I don’t want to wait too long! Lol So count me in!
I love your ATC's and chatting. I make mine with masterboards. So much variety. I went In a few retreats and it's so much fun. Meeting nice people from all over. Too bad I live so far. Will have to add a plane ticket. A bit expensive. I encourage people to do it. It's a great experience if you can afford it.
Thank you so much Daniele! I usually make mine with masterboards too, it's so fun to see what they look like when you cut them to size, it's my favorite part! I completely understand the cost factor and realize many wont be able to make it because of that. I'm hoping to go live while we are there so others who wanted to join can be a part of the retreat as well.
My condolences for the loss of your dad. Happy Heavenly Father's Day to your dad and all the Dad's up there and to our Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing your signs from Heaven about your dad and the squirrels. I love them they are the cutest and I saw a small one yesterday. So adorable I tell ya lol. Also you did a really great job on your ATCs. They are so pretty. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching. I wish many more great retreats. Happy Crafting.
You are amazing and gifted! What a fabulous teacher with a big heart! Thank you, I have never heard of this and I searched it and found you! This looks so fun! And I enjoy listening to you. Sending 🙏🙏🙏 for you & your family for the loss of your Father. Keep feeding the Squirrels! 🙏
I love watching you make your beautiful ATCs. Also I love the variety of projects that you offer, thank you so much Nicole. I am so sorry about your Dad. Sending hugs &love. **Cheryl**
Love the ATC's and thank you for the explanation, I didn't quite know what they were about (thought I had to be a world class artist to make one). Wanted to hear more about your squirrels. Very sorry for your loss too.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I posted a video today showing some of my ATC's I've made the last few years. I thought it would be a fun way to inspire others and get some ideas. I always love to see other peoples work! You do not have to have any expert qualities at all to do art, that's why it's so fun!
I watch you all the time. I don't always comment, but I'm here and give a 👍. I love these ATCs!I'm working on a sewing junk journal and these would be perfect. Thanks Nicole!
Awww Marti thank you so much for your support and the thumbs up! It helps me more than you know, I appreciate you!! Ooooh a sewing Junk Journal, that sounds lovely!
I love papercrafting. Card making, ATCs, making storage boxes from old empty boxes! You introduced me to glue books. Love making them now. I do think I come to watch you rather than the craft. You are such fun...very much my SOH! Your videos are always interesting and I love your commentary...fluid, clear and your tutorials are awesome. TFS ♥️😍
Nicole Thanks so much for the tutorial! They are so inspiring. When you mentioned squirrels and your dad, for me my mom loved butterflies, so when ever I see butterflies it reminds me of her. In the summer I have had butterflies come and land on me. Blessings!
Love your videos...such fun ...look forward to each new one you put out...so relaxing...I even re watch them as well!...and I've even learned some great new ideas from you...wishing you much continued success with your channel...
Im one yr later is watching this. Just came upon your channel by chance. Have subscribed. I love your cards. My condolences on your papa. I look forward to watching more of your videos. And if you have coordinated or plan to coordinate a group for scrapbooking or art journaling etc retreat. I would love to be included and join. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I'm not a glue crew member, but a retreat sounds great if you plan for it to be open to all. Actually, your variety of interests is one thing that keeps me returning to your channel. I like a different things you do and it makes me realize I don't have to be pigeonholed into one particular style!! Hope you're feeling better!
Thank you Nicole for the inspiration! I'm kind of in a spot where I come home and just don't want to do anything or simply do not know what to craft, even though I have so many varieties of craft supplies. The deck of cards is a great idea thanks so much! Hugs to you 🤗
Fun to watch you make the ATC's! Or anything you do😊. I look forward every night (mostly) to watching you. It's like a visit w/a friend. Actually I see you more often than any friend I have here. Retreat...😁 Just depends on health, but I can never predict that!
You just keep healing and getting better my friend!! You know I would absolutely love it if you could make it! But would completely understand if you couldn't. I hope you are feeling better!! HUGS!
I have been watching your videos for quite a while here and a retreat would be something that I would be so excited to be a part of, Nicole so please keep me informed of the details. And by the way I really enjoy all that you do
I agree that one should make cards that one enjoys making. But I don't agree that it is acceptable to trade unequally. Know your recipient. Think of it this way: are you swapping "business cards" or are you trading art? Your ACTs are fun. Thank you for walking us through your process.
I love your chanel.I only visited with you for the first time a couple of videos ago.Pleased to meet you....I love your sense of humour and you are very easy to listen to.Thanks heaps for sharing.Ot really lifts my spirit and inspired me so much.God Bless.See you soon.Much love Angie from Australia.Originally from England.xo
I can relate to the artists who trade ATC's and get ugly junk back. I went to a cookie exchange once and took my sublime, real-butter, rich and gorgeous cookies there. I came home with a plate of sawdust. LOL
I just found your channel. I'm so glad that I did. Your great to listen to and watch. I am new to ATC's and tags, having done embroidery and sewing for years. I am having a hard time finding images that will fit on an ATC. I love your butterfly pages, do you perhaps know where you got that paper at?
OMG too many questions I wanna answer! There's a name for us extroverted introverts but I can't think of it. There's a whole mess of info about us and it hits it right on the nail. I'll find my papers. YES to the retreat!!!! I LOVE them! And I love your ATCs, they are really sweet! I totally appreciate every video you do, no matter what you are up to! You always have interesting and fun stuff. The word you were looking for was, dang it all, now I can't remember!!!🤣🤣🤣
Hahahhahha I just love you Robyn!! I really really hope that your husband will be much better when retreat time comes around. I would absolutely LOVE to give you a hug and craft with you! Tell the hubster Nikki says get better soon, and what the hell give the guy a hug from me too!! Have a wonderful weekend my friend!
Whooo HOOooo!! Now it's a party!!! I'm happy to report that I feel great today! Jackson and Bob are still a bit under the weather but getting better. Hugs my sweet friend!! Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much Jean! I hadn't made any in months either! Now i'm obsessed again hahahahha! I love that they can be simple or extravagant depending on what you're feeling in the moment.
I know this will never happen but I'd have loved some of your trading cards, vintage butterfly fairy style to use in my nature/fairy journal. But I'm waaaaaaaay over other side of Atlantic in England so no chance but big love ❤️
I love ATC's! I used to make them years ago and then life & kids happened. I then got into making Project Life cards instead. I've recently come back to ATC's and am working on getting some ready to trade. It's so fun to send them off and get something in the mail in exchange. I love the ones you created in this video, a very classic look. I would be interested in the retreat depending on cost and on timing. I am taking my first vacation with the family in about 10 years this summer, and I am taking my Scouts BSA Troop to D.C. I am very introverted, on the spectrum, so this would be a big thing for me if I can get past my anxiety. I would love to hang out with like minded people and craft though. Maybe exchange some ATC's in person. I also have dietary restrictions (allergies), so it would be good to have someone who can handle those easily, instead of me trying to figure out what is safe to eat. Besides, it would not be cool to pull you from crafting and hanging out, to make you go cook... nope, not good.
I'd love to make an atc for your swap. Can't wait to hear the details about that. The retreat sounds so fun but I live far away from you. Hope everyone heals quickly 🙏
If you want the stamps off of the paper fill a container with warm water and a drop of liquid detergent. Dump in the stamps and let them soak, even overnight.. The stamps will slide right off the paper. I used to collect stamps and would get bags of stamps cut from envelopes and this is how I got the stamps off the paper.
I live in Holland, in a small town called Spijkenisse, it's near Rotterdam. I just found out about atc's and it seems like a whole new crafting world is opened for me. Normally I make cards for christmas, birthdays, and so on. I would like to make the cards have a 'pocket' and I was looking for ideas for filling the pockets and so I found the atc ideas with such a variaty in styles. Yesterday I've got two adresses for journaling paper and perhaps I can help you with this (I think you already have ideas enough, but still). The books of Marta Lapkowska called Maremi's small art, cost euro 20,95 overhere and from Temu small bookmarker(s) and these are verry verry cheap. Furthermore I'm curious about the crafting retreat you have spoken of. Has it really take place in the meantime? (I think it take enormously much energie to make it happen). But who knows 😀. Hope to hear from you and many kind greetings from Holland.
I love the Rankin/Bass stop animation Christmas shows! I need to find where I can stream them. I used to have them on as a marathon while I did my wrapping.
These are very pretty. I had just bought some of the vintage lady stickers, but I haven’t gotten a chance to use them yet. Now I have a good idea of how to use them.
love your videos dear nicole. thank you for sharing all of this. where is or was this retreat you mentioned i wonder? maybe it has already happened and yet if you might share any link? i could think about it for next time. thank you again.
Thank you so much!! The retreat hasn’t happened yet, so you’re all good. I need to nail down some dates with the place I found to have it at. I think it will be so much fun! I’ll let everyone know when its a done deal and we’re good to go.
I live in Australia, but I have even told AJ’S Inspired Life (Allison) that I would fly over for a craft retreat! Next year would be good for me too 😀 I am also an introvert who can be very extroverted when I am comfortable. I love your ATCs, they’re beautiful. I am part of a swap group and I am one of the hosts (We only swap within Australia). It is so much fun. We have three hosts with three themes each month. I am hosting a Halloween theme this month. 🖤👻🎃 (I joined in on the mushrooms theme and ‘wild and free’ theme too) Hope you’re feeling better. And I love that your dad is sending the squirrels! My sister sent dragonflies! ❤️
Oh, please do come! I am in Canada, and I would be the crazy lady who would to be close to you the whole time, so I could just listen to your awesome accent! Plus we have stuff in common, although I am very new to all this ATC stuff. So here’s hoping we get to meet. (I know I probably sound it, but I am not really weird! Lol)
I have been doing ATC for over 15 years. Back then, the rules for making them was no stickers, each card must have 3 things on them. You must put your name on the back and I like to list what I used on the card too
Thank you so much! The tool I used is from the Dollar Tree in the craft section. It's meant for smoothing vinyl. It works so good for glue books, I use it every single day!
why was it so hard finding people who make acts. im on swap bot so was looking for people for insparation. as i want to join some swaps. Also im thinking about getting projector so i can make outlines of characters like sailor moon and paint rest in. \do you think thats a good idea, Thanks :)
My niece who was three or four and learned to use paper sissors and I had to spend a day cutting paper. Every five minutes “let’s cut paper” 😂😂😂very satisfied her 😂
Thank you so much Nicole, I really really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful and whimsical ATC’s. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤

Robin that is amazing!!! I love that you did that! I bet the kids really enjoyed that art project❤️
Aww that sounds like they enjoy it and you too im sure.. what a fun way to learn for school.. 😊
Thank you very much for making this tutorial i had no clue what ATCs were i am going to attempt you made it si easy thank you! My condolences on your dad's passing and i believe the squirrels are a sign started following you
you should scan your atc before sending then u can print it out and keep it in your binder :)
So smart!! Thanks for the tip! Im 99% sure I took pictures of them, I should find those and print the pics out and put them in my book. Thank youuuuuu!
Beautiful work 🙏
Those are so adorable.

Very beautiful, gorgeous ATCs I 💗it
Would love an ATC swap and a retreat!
Your video was really fun, and I think a crafting retreat sounds COOL. Tell me more.
My favorite image is any with the baby chickens or baby ducks in a tea cup. Beautiful
A crafting retreat sounds great! I would even be interested in helping you put it together.
My condolences for the loss of your dad. Happy Heavenly Father's Day to your dad and all the Dad's up there and to our Heavenly Father.

Hi I just found ATC cards and find your video great! Very inspiring! Thank you for your ideas
Sounds fun!
I’m here for the long haul; I play your videos to learn AND to just listen while I craft ✂️
You are amazing and gifted! What a fabulous teacher with a big heart! Thank you, I have never heard of this and I searched it and found you! This looks so fun! And I enjoy listening to you.

"Rudolph" claymation? is that what you were thinking? I LOVE that Rudolph movie!!
YES!! Thank you Susan! I absolutely love those movies❤
Thank you for sharing your art and ideas about ATCs. I subscribed to you to learn more. I'm going to try it out!

Super cute cards! And yes we need a retreat!
How do you find a group to trade cards with? I love that you show different styles and projects, it keeps things interesting.
Im one yr later is watching this. Just came upon your channel by chance. Have subscribed. I love your cards. My condolences on your papa.
I look forward to watching more of your videos. And if you have coordinated or plan to coordinate a group for scrapbooking or art journaling etc retreat. I would love to be included and join. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Start scanning in your art than you will always have it and can use them over and over again :)
Yes, I would definitely be interested in a crafty retreat.
Whoooo Hoooo!!! I'm so excited so many want to go to a retreat and craft with me!! EEK! So exciting!!!
Nicole: love those cards with the retro fashion women. It just adds that special touch. Carol from California
Thank you so much Carol! I love those retro fashion women, they are so posh and pretty

I love this. I have some beautiful paper that I’d like to use. I’d like to do this technique but on an a2 size card. I think it would turn out ok.
love these thank you for sharing
I heard size was the only ATC rule. I make money selling mine. Just found your channel and subbed. Great stuff!!
I love that you do all sorts of different projects. I learn something new from you with every time! Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much!

Your cards are beautiful!!! I just heard about this hobby and I think this is something that I am wanting to do!
I just found you tonight! I love your style. Thank you so much 😊
I add these to card bases. Also use the coins and inches and twinchies. I just make them and keep them until I make cards for people.
These cards are just lovely. I would love to go on a retreat! I hope you guys continue to feel better until you're 100%! ❤
Whooo HOOooo!! Now it's a party!!! I'm happy to report that I feel great today! Jackson and Bob are still a bit under the weather but getting better. Hugs my sweet friend!! Have a great weekend!
I haven't made atcs in months. Now I'm excited to make some. Love yours. 🖌🎨
Thank you so much Jean! I hadn't made any in months either! Now i'm obsessed again hahahahha! I love that they can be simple or extravagant depending on what you're feeling in the moment.
Yes, I'm interested and the introvert in me didn't freak out when I typed this, lol.

I would be interested in a retreat - depending on where it is located
Wait! What was the price for the retreat? TYFS Cindy
I'm not sure the exact price yet, but looking at some of the current retreats it's about $300 for two nights, three days, with 3 meals a day included
@@relaxcutglue wow that is fantastic!

love your videos dear nicole. thank you for sharing all of this. where is or was this retreat you mentioned i wonder? maybe it has already happened and yet if you might share any link? i could think about it for next time. thank you again.
Thank you so much!! The retreat hasn’t happened yet, so you’re all good. I need to nail down some dates with the place I found to have it at. I think it will be so much fun! I’ll let everyone know when its a done deal and we’re good to go.
I live in Australia, but I have even told AJ’S Inspired Life (Allison) that I would fly over for a craft retreat! Next year would be good for me too 😀 I am also an introvert who can be very extroverted when I am comfortable.
I love your ATCs, they’re beautiful. I am part of a swap group and I am one of the hosts (We only swap within Australia). It is so much fun. We have three hosts with three themes each month. I am hosting a Halloween theme this month. 🖤👻🎃 (I joined in on the mushrooms theme and ‘wild and free’ theme too)
Hope you’re feeling better. And I love that your dad is sending the squirrels! My sister sent dragonflies! ❤️
Hi Em, I live in Tasmania, Australia. I would be interested in finding out about your swap group, is it a private one?
Oh, please do come! I am in Canada, and I would be the crazy lady who would to be close to you the whole time, so I could just listen to your awesome accent! Plus we have stuff in common, although I am very new to all this ATC stuff. So here’s hoping we get to meet. (I know I probably sound it, but I am not really weird! Lol)
I have been doing ATC for over 15 years. Back then, the rules for making them was no stickers, each card must have 3 things on them. You must put your name on the back and I like to list what I used on the card too
Loved your video, I’m new to ATC’s can I ask where I can get the tool you use to smooth the papers please
Thank you so much! The tool I used is from the Dollar Tree in the craft section. It's meant for smoothing vinyl. It works so good for glue books, I use it every single day!
I'm new to ATCs. Do you cover the back as well?
Where did the butterfly paper come from? 😊
I’m stuck on first layer. It’s not taking ink well. I used Matt medium on top
Was it really the vintage people sticker book, where you got the girl stickers?
What area do you live in? Have you had a craft retreat yet? I am in SC.
Do you put anything on the back of the card? Like your name and a blurb or something about you as an artist?
If I may ask…do you use white card stock for the backing?
How would we trade? I’m just getting into them
why was it so hard finding people who make acts. im on swap bot so was looking for people for insparation. as i want to join some swaps. Also im thinking about getting projector so i can make outlines of characters like sailor moon and paint rest in. \do you think thats a good idea, Thanks :)

I would like to know if in trading ATCs do you put your name anywhere on it?
My niece who was three or four and learned to use paper sissors and I had to spend a day cutting paper. Every five minutes “let’s cut paper” 😂😂😂very satisfied her 😂
Awww that's so cute!!!!!
I love making ATC’s, but I have no one to trade with.
