I haven't made a card in AGES, so this seems like the perfect challenge to jump in on! I have to go the store, but will get some stamping goodness done when I get home.
YOU KNOW, I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CHALLENGE. BUT ONCE I STARTED, I HAD TO KEEP GOING. I MADE 3 CARDS FOR THIS CHALLENGE.
This challenge was fun! I usually don't think in ATC size, but do you realize you can get 5 of these cards out of a sheet of cardstock by making 6 cuts and you have little waste? Anyway, here are my cards. I made two!
I started with my $1 'Mini Make a Flower' from Autumn Leaves, and saw trees instead of leaves, and then found Cold Play (the snowman-building set!) to make the trunks and the round trees. I love how it turned out
CARD # 5 OH MY....I NEED TO STOP....THIS ISN;T GOOD FOR MY HAND, BUT I'M ADDICTED!!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!! I CAN'T STOP! IS THERE A 12 STEP STAMPING PROGRAM?!!! LOL ;)
I've never made an ATC card before. I guess mine is a bit larger than a traditional ATC at 2 3/4 x 4. I think I'll try the challenge again with the traditional size.

Many families are looking at the calendar and thinking about going back to school. When you send you loved ones off, why not send them a nice thought in the middle of the day too. I stick notes and cards inside of my husband's and my kids' lunches on a frequent basis. While you are stocking up on school supplies, stock up on some ATC sized cards too.
Make an "ATC Card" to let a family member know you are thinking about them in the middle of the day. Then sneak it into their lunch box, laptop case, wallet, etc. You could lay it on their pillow or prop it up next to their mirror...whereever they are most likely to see it!
Dimensions:
For an ATC card...start with a paper that is 3.5 x 5 inches. Then fold it in half. Voila...an ATC card. If you want one that is slightly larger, try starting off with a quarter sheet of paper and folding it in half. This is a fun way to use up scraps of paper. Small images can become the focal point.
**Extra bonus points go out to those who use their dollar acrylic stamp sets that are just sitting in a drawer in your craft area!
