Christmas Artist Trading Blocks

Artist Trading Blocks (ATBs) are one of the newest trends emerging in the art world.

They can be traded just as ATCs, given as gifts, used as home decor, ornaments or just for fun. To get a jumpstart on your holiday mojo, we will be working with a Christmas theme with lots of Tim Holtz stamps, dies, and Ranger goodies. You will create 3 totally unique blocks in class and lots of inspiration to start off the season.
