Clear ATC Covers

2 styles of clear covers for your ATCs (both are archival). One style is heavier mylar (clear) and wraps around, with an overlap on the back (see top photo at left). This first style is a sleeve, not a pocket (there is not a bottom to the cover), but it's good for things with fringe or hanging charms (so they can extend past the cover.

The second style is more of a traditional bag, with a flap you can fold around to close the top or bottom (you'd need to tape it to secure it). The width is a little larger than an ATC (so fat fabric or embellished ATCs will still fit fine); an example is below. The plastic on this second style is thinner. Ariadne prefers the mylar version.

Manila ATC Pockets

Twelve manila "pockets" that are pre-folded and punched for inserting ATCs (or other tags) into the revolving holder. The pockets are not glued, but the inserted item can sit in the fold of the bottom tab (or you can glue the tabs).

$5.95/set of 12

 

 
Transparent ATC Frames

Pre-punched, printed acetate frames to overlay or intersperse with your ATCs. 2 each of 12 designs (printed areas are around the edges, with the centers left clear). You can stack a couple different frames together for some interesting patterns (like I did in the top row, but the afternoon sunlight makes it hard to see). Some have faint text (like "A Moment Captured" and "snapshot").

$6.95/set of 24


 

 

 

 
Transparent ATC Alphabet

Pre-punched, printed acetate alphabet letters to overlay or intersperse with your ATCs. 1 each of 26 letters. Note: the opaque ink may adhere a little bit to the acetate behind an individual letter ... so some of the letters have a distressed look (or you can do a little doctoring with a sharpie pen).

$5.95/set of 26


 

 

 

 
Transparency Borders Swatchbook

12 pages of borders printed in white and black opaque inks on clear acetate. 2-3/4" x 9-1/2". Over 90 die-cut borders and frames. Tabs on the side of the booklet help you find different patterns quickly. Designs include Tags, Frames, Buckles, Clips and Corners. (They're not ATC-sized, but are small enough to use on an ATC.)

$9.95

 

 
ATC Photo Stickers

A small sticker sheet (5" x 8") with die-cut stickers all about photography. Includes some pre-sized tabs to use with the ATC Index Tabs (with months of the year plus "gallery," "friends," "family," etc.). The large "P is for Photo" sticker in the upper left is 2" x 2-1/4".

Many more sheets of stickers are available. And some photo-themed rub-ons are on the Rub-Ons page

$1.99

 

 
ATC Quotes Rub-Ons

A small sheet (5-1/2" x 8") with narrow text quotes (most are about 2-1/4" wide, so will fit within the width of an ATC; of course, you can rotate them at an angle or use them on things other than ATCs).

Many more sheets of rub-ons are available.

$2.99

 

 
ATC Box Kit

Pre-cut, sturdy kit to put together a little ATC-sized box (just pop out the pieces... note: these are made of amazingly heavy-weight chipboard (1/8" thick) and they've been laser cut, so your hands might get a little grubby from charcoal the first time you handle it). Instructions are right on the label. You only need a little white glue to finish the box (the one I'm holding hasn't been glued, so the box will hold together without glue for a little while).

$4.25

 

 
Masonite ATCs

Set of four; 1/8" thick masonite. You can pound, drill, sand, distress to your heart's content (hinge them together?). Shown in the ATC Box Kit (16 of these will fit in the box).

$2.25/set of 4

 

 
ATC Card Box and Cards

4-1/4" Tall, 3-1/4" wide, 1-1/4" deep. Includes: 8 heavy ATC-sized chipboard cards on a chain (the cards are greyer color than the tan box).

There are more chipboard & die-cut heavy paper items on the other papers page.

$5.99

 


 
ATC Pads

Great for ATC backgrounds or cut out individual images for collaging. The Christmas pad would make great little gift tags.

2-1/2" x 3-1/2". Each pad has 2 sheets each of 20 different designs; 40 sheets total per pad. Acid & lignin free.

ATC Matchbox Kit

Pre-cut and scored kit to decorate and put together a matchbox sized to fit ATCs (ATCs are 2.5 x 3.5"). Also includes 20 blank ATCs. Note: the pieces in this kit are heavy ivory cardstock (not decorated like the samples shown).

If you want the corners on your ATCs rounded (like in the samples shown or to match the blank ATCs we sell separately), you can use one of these corner-rounder punches.

More blank ATCs (in the same cream-color cardstock) are above.

$4.49/set
