Christmas Artist trading cards

  Hi Everyone. It's time for my fortnightly design team make for Visible Image. Today I am sharing a set of artist trading card using the gorgeous  Across the miles stamp set from the brand new 2026 Christmas release.

 I've created a set of three festive Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). Measuring just 2.5 x 3.5 inches, they're the perfect little canvases for creating miniature Christmas scenes.

I love making ATCs they are such a great way of sharing your art. I organise a monthly swap over in the Visible Image Fans Facebook group. If you would like to join us do check out the link here.

The backgrounds are made from pieces of Distress Stain Spray cardstock left over from previous projects in my stash – a great way to make use of those colourful offcuts. 

I stamped the Dear Santa sentiment and a postmark at the top of each ATC 

I stamped the adorable robins onto white card. The charming post box was partially stamped onto scraps of red cardstock, so you don't even need a full sheet of card. I also stamped up the postal times plate onto a scrap of white card and layered it up.  The robins were coloured with Distress Watercolour Pencils and then fussy cut.

I adhered the post box first before adding the robins and the tiny letters. By tucking the letter beneath the robin's foot really brings each miniature scene to life!

On the reverse, I used the Love of ATCs stamp set. 

I organise an ATC swap in the Visible Image Fans Facebook group, so one of these little creations will soon be making its way to my swap partner. ATCs are such fun to exchange with fellow crafters and also make lovely keepsakes to attach to Christmas gifts.

The Across the Miles  stamp set is such a versatile addition to the new release, making it perfect for everything from cards and mixed media projects to festive ATCs. I hope I've inspired you to have a go at creating some miniature Christmas art of your own!
