Hello, I'm back again with my Tutorial for making a Stamped Collage ATC Album.
This time around I've gone with a very organic colour scheme.

Instructions for ATC Album
Start with 1- 8.5”x11” (letter size) sheet of patterned cardstock and 1- 8.5”x11”solid coloured cardstock.
Cut solid cardstock to 8.5”x9.25” (or ½” wider than card sleeves).
Now cut both pieces of cardstock in half length wise.
Piece together so that the extra 1-3/4” on the patterned cardstock is on the right when you look at front and that the pattern is right side up if needed. Then adhere together, folding the extra patterned cardstock to the inside.
Now do the same for the back when you are looking at it the extra will be to your left. Use corner rounder on opening ends. Set aside to dry if needed.

Cut several 9 to a page trading card sleeves into 3 parts (carefully cut just below where the rows are welded) See Photo 1 (I started with 4 or 5 and add more as needed)
Note: 1 sleeve =3 pages which will hold 3 ATC’s single sided or 6 cards back to back.
Punch 2 -¼” holes in covers and sleeves as per photo below.
Now that the glue is dry the fun begins. Decorate your patterned cardstock with a stamped collage of your choice.
Add stamped ATC to center front of album or chipboard letters look great too. Be sure to sign and date back of album.

| For my album I started with HA Musical Background stamp. |
 |
| Followed by the HA Fern. |
 |
| Complete collage background with HA Medallion. Tip: to save time and ink line up both covers and stamp as one for partial impressions on each. |

| Here a final photo of completed cover and supplies. The ATC and Art stamps are from Quietfire Design. |
