~Binder Card Tutorial~
BTC’s or Binder Trading Cards are related to ATC's and made pretty much the same way. Below are generic instructions on how to create you own BTC's.
 
 
Supplies:
1 ¾ x 3 ½ inch foundation
(I use chipboard)
Images, Scrapbook paper, paint, ink, glitter
Liquid pearl paint etc
Ribbon, flowers, rhinestones etc for embellishment
Glue, scissors, ruler, Crop-a-dile or hole punch
Metal rings, or other type of holder for cards
 
 
 

Cut foundation to 1 ¾ x 3 ½ inch size – lots of

options for the foundation.  Use chipboard, layers of scrapbook

paper, thin card board etc.

 

Add a background.  Can be scrapbook paper or paint, ink etc. Add layers of images and embellishments to your liking.  I like adding brown ink to the images for a vintage look.

 

 

 Once dry,

you can use Crop-a-dile to make hole in upper

left hand corner for binding.

Normally, binder cards are kept on a metal ring.

But I have used ribbon also.



GET CREATIVE and HAVE FUN!!!

  1. You are a rock star! I love these...I saw them first on Flickr, and fell in love, but couldn't find a single thing online about BTCs. I should have gone directly from your Flickr to your blog, but didn't think about that until just now. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations and giving information on how they are made.
