~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!!!
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.
