Create Easy ATCs, PLUS 4 ways to create Popcorn!
Are you a crafter who loves to create ATCs with fun textures? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to try making a set of ATCs but weren’t sure where to start? Join us to learn how to create 4 different 3D popcorn elements to create an easy wow! on your ATC projects. A perfect project for beginners, and great techniques that you can use again and again in all your mixed media projects.
Today it's my turn to show you something here on the blog. I think I've come up with something fun. I’ve been playing with the Movie Night ATC special, and there's this great little popcorn box stamp. I’m going to show you 4 different ways to create 3D popcorn.
Step 1: The first one is made by stamping the image with Versafine Clair Acorn ink. The popcorn is made with styrofoam balls that were sprinkled over a glue that dries clear. This was not the easiest because styrofoam balls can become very static.
Step 2: The second one is stamped with Archival Carnation Red ink, and I have sprinkled flower pearls on top over a drys clear glue. I have to be honest, this was not my favorite because the pearls have a shine, but if you were to add this to a glossy, bright project, it would look amazing.
Step 3: The third one is stamped with Versafine Clair Twilight, and I used Artsy Stones for the popcorn, using the smallest version. This looks really nice, one of my favorites.
Step 4: The fourth is stamped with Archival Peeled Paint, and the popcorn is made with Fluffy Stuff from Cosmic Shimmer, which eventually became my favorite way to add ‘popcorn’ to these images.
Step 5: Here you can see all 4 popcorn boxes together, and you can clearly see the difference. But what I think is important is to look at what you have at home, because these are just 4 possibilities, and I think there are so many more options.
Step 5: While they were drying, I made four ATC cards in matching colors using elements from the same collection.
And finally, I put the ATC cards in my beautiful new ATC Collection Box. I hope you enjoyed this post and have been inspired to create your own popcorn embellishments for your ATCs. Hugs Marga
