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. • Send your swaps to: LainesWorld 58-60 Com
