Artist Trading Coins & a Holder

Hi Playmates!

This trio of AT Coins and their holder were made entirely from snippets. This post is a bit picture heavy so you might want to grab a cuppa.

I originally cut a sheet of 12" x 12" double sided paper to make an ATC holder, then wondered what to do with the remaining snippet! Had a brainwave . . . and used it to make a smaller holder suitable for Coins instead of Cards!

The trio of AT Coins that filled the holder - die cutting
white snippets and patterned paper. Embellishing with more
die cuts, stamping and stencilling.

The AT Coin holder made by scoring and folding a snippet
of 12 x 12 paper and using an envelope notch punch
for the little groove.

This Coin uses the negative from die cutting a daisy out
of the circle of patterned paper, then adding a
punched out centre.
(The daisy was used for something else!)

White circle snippet, stencilled with The Greetery's brick
die. Foliage die cut from Sizzix Hidden Leaves set.
Words from Aall & Create's The Good set. 
Circular frame die cut from the patterned paper.

Die cut circle of patterned paper, plus a white frame.
Visible Image words stamped in embossing ink, sprinkled
with white EP and heat set. Sprig from Sizzix Hidden Leaves set.

A tiny card I made from a white snippet and inserted
into one of the holder's pockets - using up another snippet
of the double sided patterned paper.
I also punched out stars from a different snippet of the same paper.
Not sure who made the sentiment stamp.

The front of the holder - using up a purple square and
the blue graph heart which were originally
someone else's snippets! LOL!

I had heaps of fun making this little holder and its contents and then posted it off to surprise a friend who I normally trade Artist Trading CARDS with, not Artist Trading COINS! Well they do say variety is the spice of life don't they?!

If you have some snippets to use up (and let's face it, who doesn't?) . . . why not make something and join in with the current SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND CHALLENGE. You're sure of a friendly welcome and are free to come and play on the swings.

  9. These are so stylish and cute Sarn … love the coordinating colour schemes and how you have decorated them. I’m aware of the concept of Artist trading coins but have never made one … what a teeny canvas for creativity! xx
