Hey all you ATC lovers. . .I'll be posting a tutorial tomorrow so be sure to check back maybe in the late afternoon. I'm still working on the tutorial but I wanted to post the pictures now because I'm really excited about it.

Anyway, today's Daily Special is "Anything But Cards" and the tutorial will be on a "ATC Accordion Holder". No, I did not come up with the idea so don't give me credit for this awesome project. I got the idea from a book that I bought a few weeks ago. The only thing I came up with are the different closures and designs shown in the pictures. I actually have two more ideas for a closure but I still need to make them. What do you think?

The first ATC holder at the top has a "scalloped insert closure". Scroll down to see the different closures I came up with. I'll come up with other closures and I'll add them tomorrow. I would make them tonight but we're going out to dinner while my daughter attends a choir banquet.

Oh I just wanted to mention something. . .do you see the Stamping Top 99 to the left. It's really stupid. It has reset 3 times on me. . .each time I hit the 80s, it craps out on me and tells me that I am no longer a member. I've had to climb my way up from the 400s on three occasion and each time I hit the 80s, it doesn't like me anymore. The same thing happened with my Card Inspired blog site. . .I decided not to re-apply for a membership on that side. It's free but it's stupid. If it craps out on me again when I hit the 80s on this blog site, I'm no longer going to reapply. The Stamping Gods don't like me over there at the Stamping Top website!

Anyway, this is how it looks opened up with the fancy corners which I don't like by the way. I prefer the rounded corners as shown with the subsequent samples below. The ATCs are inserted into the photo slots. You could also insert pictures or images if you want rather than ATCs but the purpose of this holder is primarily to hold ATCs.

This ATC Holder is held together with a ribbon. Designer paper was used and nothing else. No stamping, no nothin'. . .so you could probably make a ton of these real quickly just by using a pretty designer paper. If the paper is pretty, why cover it up, right?

This is how it looks opened up and the ATCs inserted.

This is how it looks when laying flat and folded.

This one has a straight angle slot/insert to close the holder.

This is how the holder looks without the ATCs inserted.
