ATC Stand makes a great swap pin display

7 Gypsies brand do a wonderful rotating Artist Trading Card stand display. By attaching your cards to 7 Gypsies notched cards they then slot onto the stand to you can rotate, see and enjoy your and your friends creation.

So what about those Swap Pins you picked up and exchanged at craft fairs and gatherings? Linda had a great idea of displaying hers on an ATC stand.

This is what the empty stand look like. It is solid and the central portion rotates.

You take your Swap Pin (this one actually could double as an ATC due to its dimensions and style) and adhere it to a plain or printed 7 Gypsies Notch card.

Then details removed or transferred from the back and attached or written onto the card. Card is now ready to be slotted onto the stand. Cool and simple!

You can also create your own notch cards by using a 7 Gypsies notch punch. Using the stand as a guide you can then put slots into any colour or designed background card you wish.

Cards and pins are then displayed onto the stand ready to be enjoyed! A couple of pins Linda received had hanging attachments so were able to hang them conveniently off the top of the stand itself.
