atc club...

i am going to be starting a new monthly ATC (Artist Trading Card) club at the studio beginning January 11, 2011.

each month we will create 4 ATC's.

you can choose to trade them, display them (i just ordered the cutest atc mats to frame them, love!), or keep them all to yourself!

i will be adding mine to my 7Gypsies atc spinner.

i will also be making extra kits as well as instructions available online for all my not so local creative friends that want to get in on the monthly fun!

the cost of the kit will be $10 and the kits will be limited, meaning we will plan on making a certain number and when they are gone...they are gone.

***EDITED*** i will also be making just the instructions available for download without the kits. these will be $1.99. so if you've got tons of product and just need the instructions to join in. you can! note in the comments if this is something you would prefer as well.

post a comment today if you think this is something you may be interested in, giving me a rough estimate if i should plan on making 10 kits the first month or 110. also right now i only have one spinner in stock, but if you know you are going to want a spinner also put something like that in the comments too.

my goal, by years end 2011, will be to have a beautiful spinner full of tiny art!

I would definitely join in! I can't be in NC but I can definitely work along here! That being said I would love the downloads too. I've got enough product to open several shops (of many different crafts! LOL!) and would definitely make lots of ATCs. I know Mom would love to join in too. This is just such an awesome idea!!!

[Katherine McKamey]

PS- Kits would be awesome too! We'd buy them!(LOL!)

[Angela]

Oh how cool!!! I've always wanted to make these and I have a spinner just waiting to be filled. So count me in for your non-local kits!!!

[Erin K]

I have 2 spinners and a HUGE stash...count me in for the instructions! Thanks.

[Susan]

YES!!! I DEFINETLY WANT TO BE IN THIS. PLEASE!
I already have the spinner!

[Olivia]

I'm in.. But I wanna use my stuff up, so I would just need the directions. I would like to get my hands on a spinner though.. I have wanted one for a while (the atc and the photo spinner) but haven't picked up either!

[Edie]

I would LOVE to buy the kits BUT .. I do have a lot of product and it seems like your kits sell out before I get a chance to grab one, so I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to buy the online instructions for them. :) Cant wait to get started with this!

[Roda]

I'd love to be a part of this! Would kits be available for non-locals? I'm all the way in Hawaii...a continent and ocean way.

[Cara]

I love this idea!! Since I'm overseas, I probably would do just the downloadable instructions, but I might buy a kit or two from time to time. Could it possibly be a subscription to the kits? Love the houses and fence btw :D

[justjenh]

When Fun with Fabrics is over I will be going through Withdrawl so this might be a great way to still get my Donna "fix". Would need to buy the kits as well.

[crazy4dizny@yokotamail.com]

Hey Donna - I would be interested in ordering the kits and a spinner. Thanks!!!

[Alison-lee]

I would be interested in the monthly downloadable instructions as I live in the UK so the kits wouldn't be feasible money wise for me.

[Jenni D'Amato]

Hi Donna,
I'm certainly not a local, but definately interested in both the kit and instructions.
Would you ship to Australia or is that just too far?
If it is, I will definately join online instructions.
Thank you and merry christmas
jenni

[Renata Pacheco]

I LOVE ATCs and I love your idea! It's wonderful that you'll have online instructions for download, once the shipping cost to Brazil is too expensive. I also have a lot of supplies here, so I'll take your online instructions.

[Siri]

Oh, I would love the instructions :-) I would love the kits as well, but with shipping it will just be to expencive :-( I´m sure I have enough stuff to make a trillion ATCs, so I guess I will manage :-)

[rajns]

I would love to do this! I would probably be more of the instructions type of person. Thanks for thinking of all the different types of people!

[Linda Rivera]

omg i love those ATC cards, and the spinner idea is so awesome that look so pretty on it.
tfs happy holidays!

[Julia Irene]

This atc club sounds fun. I wish I lived close to your studio. I would like to be able to purchase the downloadable instructions. Thanks!

[Peggy]

Love fhe idea. Wish I lived close enough to come to the studio. I would probably buy the directions only so I can use up my stash.
Thanks donna

[Sara G.]

Can't wait to start! I would definitely be interested in the instructions, but the kits sound like fun too!!

[Sherry]

Sounds perfect, count me in!

[Phyllis F]

I've got the spinner and tons of products - I'd be interested in the directions only.

[Pam]

I think that if you didn't have enough kits I would be interested in the directions.

[Carol C]

I think that having a kit each month would be a fun idea. Maybe we can join for the entire year. I would love to be able to play with you even thou I live in Michigan.

[Jan]

I would love to do this. I have way to many supplies but what fun to get the kit in the mail every month. And of course I will need a spinner. Sounds like so much fun.

[star]

I am interested!

[Char-D]

I am not clear on what all will be in the kit.
Is it just the embellishments, or is there the materials to do different techniques.

[ida]

You had me at ATC! I had never done any before taking your Big Picture class and i loved your designs and colors. I want to fill that spinner. So, sign me up for the kits. I love my stash but love the kits too especially to take to crops. I would also do a layout of the month if you offreed it.

[Monica G]

This sounds like a fun little monthly craft! I would totally be interested in the kit and also the spinner!

[Sue C]

I have loads of supplies and a spinner. I would be interested in the online instructions. Great idea!

[Leida]

I would love to jion an ATC monlty kit event.... I have been thinking of doing these for a while. would buy kit and spinner too.

[Louise Murr]

Oh what a neat idea. I have one of those spinners and haven't done a thing with it. I would also prefer to do the downloadable instructions, since like most people I have a TON of product.

Great idea. Can't wait to start.

Louise

[Jean McNulty]

I would love to participate in the monthly kit. Sounds like fun...cannot wait:)

[Wendy High]

Super cute idea!!! I love it! I would so join in, but the online version since I am not quite close enough...in NC but still a good 4 or so hours away! :) I would like the spinner too!

[Donna]

Love, love, LOVE this idea! As I am a not so local creative friend, I would be interested in buying the kits and instructions from your store....maybe you could have a pre-paid option, and we could receive each month automatically...sort of like a kit club. Just an idea. I already have a spinner, and what a great way to fill it up!

[Florida Nancy]

I love the idea of the $10 kit and maybe a video to go along with it? Some months I might just be interested in the instructions to download. I love your cute ATCs pictured above. I have gotten away from doing them but might reconsider now.

[amy in Texas]

Considering I have a large stash of art supplies, the downloadable directions would be best for me.

[Lisa]

Pretty sure I'm in for the year. Full Kit!

[melloub@comcast.net]

I have tons of supplies and the spinner but would love to download the instructions.

[Baba Barbara]

What a great idea! I would love to be able to purchase a spinner and join the kit club...do you ship to Canada?

[Paula]

hello im new to this atc thing but im interested in the directions. If i understand you you wont be putting them on your site to see them finished. Merry CHRISTmas

[Ruth C]

I would love a monthly kit and/or the instructions. I have a ton of stuff but it's always fun to get new goodies in the mail. Of course I could make it a challenge to use what I have too. Love the preview samples!

[Sandy lane-Stevens]

I just learned what ATC card are at Teresa Collins event in September. I would love a spinner and to be a part of the club. Love the card idea. Something different

[Michelle]

Like this idea lots, since I don't live close, and God know I have more than enough stuff, along with having a couple spinners around, my interest would probably be with the monthly download, loving the idea of having a theme each time too.

[Cindy Strickland]

I would love the downloadable instructions. Since I am in Switzerland, that makes the most sense. And I have plenty of stash to play with. ;)

[Emy]

I love the idea of the downloadable instructions.

[rene Jantzi]

I follow your work and have always wanted to make some ATC. I don't have much stash (is that an oxymoron?) so would love a kit. Designed by you!! Yipee!! a spinner also

[Becky H]

I would love to join!!! Please add me in. I want a kit.

[adyabreu]

I'm in for the kits Donna, I have an ATC spinner that has gone to the scrapbook garage sale pile several times but I don't have the heart to get rid of it because I do love it but I haven't done anything with it in 3+ years. I'm in for the kit because I'm a visual person so if I don't own that particular product I'm not going to be a happy PuertoRican. You could also batch up the supplies and do a quarter shipping so the shipping won't be as much but that means you have to start cracking out those ATC's. I'm ready please put me on the wait list because if I miss out on the kit I'll be so upset... Merry Christmas...

[JennL]

I really like the option to just download the pdf instructions. I am always looking for new things to do with small pieces of my fave papers.

[basement gal]

I'd be up for a download sheet (I live in Luxembourg).

[Loni]

I'd buy the kits if the shipping cost is not too bad. Otherwise, I'm totally interested in the online instructions. Already have a spinner. Thanks, Donna.

[Darlene Carroll]

Are you kidding??? Donna of course we want to do this... make, make and make tonnes of kits. I'd love the online version - being International and shipping - this would work out well for us... plus I have a tonne of scrappy goodness I could be using!!

Thanks for all that you do for us creative souls!

take care - have a beautiful day filled with creativity & inspiration

[Christi Parker]

count me in for an online version. Not sure if i would buy the whole kit or just need the basic atc shape.

[Sue D]

I would love to purchase a kit or a download. I do have PLENTY of products that I should use of my own but you know how that goes :-)

[fay copeland]

i would be interested. i wonder about you bringing them to emi scrapbooking in january where i am signed up for all of the classes. fay

[Holly Moon]

Great idea Donna-- I'm in and I know my close friend, as well as my daughter will be in. Looking forward to this. I have several spinners already in use, and an empty one waiting---aha! JUST FOR THIS!

[Colleen]

Yes, very interested. Although I have so much "stash" I will probably buy the instructions most months.

[margaret in AZ]

I'm way late reading my email, but I'd be interested in the "online" version of this club.

[Scrappin Shonie]

I would love to do this. I'm drawn to ATC's but have never done them and would like to get more ideas for them.

[Georgina Martin]

I would be interested in online instructions, I have a spinner thanks!

[Tiger]

Super fun! We work on ATC's each month at the LSS and our spinner is FULL! It looks great and there is such talent. Looking forward to January 11th!

[Hazel]

Love that you will have the instructions available! Have "tons" of supplies AND a spinner so am ready to join in! Thanks Donna!

[LindaMR]

What an awesome idea Donna. I am definately not local, have plenty of scrap crap to use, but would possibly be interested in the download instructions so I can follow (play) along!!!!! I don't have a spinner, yet!!! I have to fit it into the budget and all, but count me in. Thanks

[Susan]

I wish I was local - I would love to join you in person. I guess the next best thing would be the downloads. I'm anxious to hear more details.

[andrea fletcher]

yes please to instructions being available!

[beverly@lotsofpossibilities.com]

I would love the instructions - have a ton of stuff to use up.

[Maureen]

I'd be interested in instructions only, as I live in Australia.

[Sharyn]

I would love to try this out too please...looking for more info on the kits now I have read this post.

[Caoline Goddard]

Would love to get involved with ATC club but am in the UK!! How much do I need to pay including shipping? Wish I lived local!

[Karina]

Can I get a spinner? I'd love to put it to use in my office :)
