new style of ATC's

A new style of ATC



I made this ATC by re-sizing a push-pull card to make an ATC.

Here are some other ATC's I've made by re-sizing card templates.

First we have a two different Easel ATC's

the top one is the first new style ATC I made...

Second we have a Tri-fold ATC

third we have a rocker ATC

Fourth we have the four stepper ATC's
which at the moment I think are my favourites.

All of this re-sizing cards to make ATC's was because of my good friend Ali.(who is as made about ATC's as I am check out her atc blog here) I had been making a lot of Easel cards and needed to make my ATC's for a swap and she asked if it made a change from making Easel cards and jokingly I said what makes you think there not Easel ATC's. So that evening I made one just for her..and that's how it all started.

So a big Thank-you Ali.

You can find a couple of ATC templates here.
