November. November. November. Can you believe it? It's time for Turkey and Black Friday and DYD! And, it's time to SWAP again! Welcome to the TLP ATC Swap 026! If you are new to our Digital ATC Swap, let me tell you exactly how this works #payattention First of all, I always start by saying that you should NOT ever let the fact that you are just jumping on board stop you... everyone is more than welcome! At any time! You really should give it a try! As special motivation, I'm going to show you some actual examples of what you will get if you join us. These are the cards that were sent a couple of months ago and last month's card were some of my favorites yet! You are going to want to get in on this! We would love to see more folks participating and all scrapping styles are welcome! Art journal, Mixed Media, Clean and Simple, paper scrap. It's still YOUR creation, just a smaller canvas. It has been so fun collecting these and you will LOVE IT when you start seeing an album will with these little bits of art from our TLP friends. For those of you unfamiliar with Artist Trading Cards, you are gonna love this! Feel free to google or check Pinterest for all kinds of inspiration! So here we are ready to go! TLP ATC 026 Here's how it will work... 1. You create ONE OR MORE cards. Easy, peasy! Each card should be 2.5 in x 3.5 in (64 mm × 89 mm). SUPER IMPORTANT: Although the card you will upload to the gallery needs to be web resolution (72dpi), the card you send me MUST be FULL resolution (300dpi). Otherwise, they will not print well! 2. Please create a back as well. This can be SUPER SIMPLE but is really important. On the back of each card please label them with your name, date, theme, the label "TLP ATC 026" and credits. You can get really creative with this (check out Pinterest) or it can be plain... your choice. 3. Anyone who wants to participate simply needs to E-MAIL ME your card. My e-mail address is jenevang @ gmail dot com. The Subject line MUST SAY "TLP ATC 026". #watchyourspelling #makeitexact #forrealz SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE... no variations on this please because it's how I search for you to send you your cards! The card should be attached to the e-mail or you can link me up to it somewhere that I can download it full-sized (like dropbox). Please send me the FRONT and the BACK of the card. And PLEASE include your username somewhere in the email! #thankssomuch 4. Comment in THIS THREAD that you have sent me your card. ***THEME*** The theme for November '17 is BLUE CHRISTMAS. Since we will be receiving these in December, I thought it'd be fun to get Holiday Cards! So... your card needs to be Christmas themed. But it must have some BLUE somewhere on it (luckily one of the DYD colors this year is blue... handy ) Remember, your cards can be ANY STYLE you want... mixed media/art journal, or clean and simple. I have loved the variety of the previous swap cards. It's up to you and your creativity! Because I will be out of the country (yep, you heard that... I'm going to China to visit my son!) from Nov 25th to Dec 6th, I'm making THE DEADLINE FOR CARD COMPLETION FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8th. Then, we will take the rest of December off and start back up in 2018! I will send out a link to the DropBox folder that contains all participants cards within the next week. I will send this to the e-mail address you originally used to send me your card. SO.COOL. Other stuff: Please use at least 75% TLP products and LET'S HAVE FUN SWAPPING! FAQ: Q: Can we use these in our scrapbook pages? A: You CAN use the ATC in your scrapbook pages BUT YOU MUST credit both the artist that created the card AND the products/designer used in the card (the credits from the back). For example... ATC from Awesome Scrapper using Awesome Kit by Awesome Designer Q: How do we print these out? A: I will provide printable pages of cards #youarewelcome ... or alternatively, I'll also send the individual cards with a template that you can assemble and print yourself. Either way! Q: How do we store these? A: I am using a white 3 ring binder like THIS and I put a custom cover in the front. And the cards fit perfectly in baseball card sleeves like THIS. It's gorgeous, but I actually need a thicker binder now! Q: Can I upload these to the gallery? A: Absolutely! BUT not until after the SWAP cards are sent! With proper credits to the designer and products used, of course. But DO.NOT.UPLOAD.FULL.SIZED. It's never a good idea to upload anything that can be print ready because of size, of course, but also ease of DL and printing by anyone. #protectyourart To recap: 72dpi (web resolution) for gallery and 300dpi (full resolution) emailed to me!
I got mine sent, hopefully it's in the right form, as I scrap on my iPad sizing is always an issue for me.
Hey, guys! I'm home from China! YAY. And tomorrow is the deadline for the cards (although I actually have to work so I probably won't get them out until Monday... *cough*... you will have time to send them this weekend!) I've gotten some and can't wait to open them! (we were without internet for 2 weeks in China and I'm still not caught up on emails) Plus, I want to make one, too... so Monday 11th, k? LOL.
Hey guys! I'm getting ready to send these out but there are a couple of blank spots! I'm going to try to fill them and send them tomorrow but if anyone wants to do a card tonight and can get it to me, I'll include yours! Just respond here so I'll know to look for it. No big deal if you can't... just thought I'd give you a chance so you don't end up with a bunch from me @Karen @lmccandless @Iowan @BevG @Rikki @jagruti patel @kimingvtx #firstcome
Thanks, @jenevang , for thinking of me. Sorry, I have been so lazy the last couple of months, but with all that December madness I can barely keep up with all my X-mas projects... After MOC I'll join in again in February.
I'm not sure what happened to these but they didn't get delivered last week and ended up in my drafts. Weird! BUT they have been resent today. Let me know if you don't get yours! P.S. We will take a break for January b/c of MOC, but I'll be back in February for more fun!
