What are Artist Trading Cards?

Although ATC's have been around for quite awhile,

some of us are just being introduced to them. 

Other's have been making and trading them for years.

What are ATC's?

Artist Trading Cards 

Think of it as your own personal, unique fun business card.

There are only a couple rules to making an ATC.

1. It must have a 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" base

2. It must be a one of a kind creation

That's it.

How easy is that? I don't really like to be

restricted by rules, but these two... piece of cake!

I LOVE the cards the girls have made.

I think it's so much fun how their personal style shows in their cards.

A little more info on ATC's....  these are really fun to make and keep,

but even more fun if you get in a group of friends and make and exchange them.

I have all of mine on a Rolodex and I can not even tell you how much fun 

they are to look and and go through.  Also, it's a great conversation piece.

Everyone that walks in my house asks about it.

When swapping ATC's, be sure to put your name and info on the back of the card.

If you get a chance to play and make your own ATC's....

be sure to share your masterpieces with us!

Have a SUPER weekend!
