Artist Trading Cards

The popularity of ATCs have made them an 'internet evolved' art form that has really grown through groups and artists online.

ATC's are to be traded, not sold. Some of the most popular ATC card techniques are vintage, embellished and ink/paper collage.

ATCs are often derived from techniques and ideas taken from scrapbooking and sewing. The only requirement is that they be 2.5 x 3.5" in size.

And, making and trading them is addictive.

How to Get Started

You only have to make some cards and join an online or local group to get started. You can make single cards to trade, make a set of duplicate cards, or a series of 'themed cards'. Then get in on a swap. It's totally up to you.
