AMA: Inkbox card - staple collage

What are inkbox cards? The bigger sister of an ATC! :) I found out about these cards through a swap on Instagram hosted by sandy_creas. And now I'm hooked! I love the size!

The cards are 7,6 x 7,6 cm (3 x 3 inch) with rounded edges. Basically this is the size of the bottom of a big Tim Holz Distress Ink box. Hence the name.

Like for ATCs there are no rules for inkbox cards other than the given size with rounded edges. Every media is allowed: paint, cut, draw, doodle...

Theme is: staple collage

In a staple collage the paper pieces aren't glued. They hold together with one or two staples. Of course the background is glued to the cardstock but the other collage elements are affixed onto it with staples. Please use max. 3 staples.

Tip: If your stapler can't get through you collage element plus the cardstock, do the stapling before you glue the background onto the cardstock.

Some good examples here: example or the videos here and here

For the base use some cardstock or similar. No flimsy paper.

One card to one partner.

Send the inkbox card in a decorated envelope. Put some effort in decorating the envelope. Not just only a sticker or a single stripe of washi

Have fun!
