What is as Artist Trading Cards (ATC) ? |
- ATC Specifications
- Card size must be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The size of a Poker Card is about right, while a regular playing card is too small. Most traders cut card to size, using any medium weight card.
- Any medium can be used to decorate the card, such as:
- Paint
- Paper
- Toppers
- Peel Offs
- Rubber Stamps (when stamping please include the name of the stamp on the reverse of the card)
- Just about anything from your craft box. It’s just like making a mini greeting card.
- What’s the reason for ATC’s I hear you ask.
- There is no reason – Artists have been trading and sharing cards like these for many years.
- It’s seen as a way of sharing your designs with like minded people.
- They cannot be sold, but can only be given as an act of kindness (rak) or swap. Just like the Pokemon and football cards children swap in the playground.
- It’s fun for all ages.
- Check out our Artist Trading Card Gallery for Ideas on how to get started.
