Artist Trading Cards

I wasn't sure where to post this topic but...

have you heard of them?

have you ever made them?

how big are they?

what kind of stuff goes on them?

I've been looking them up online & they are kind of interesting to me. Anybody else? I'm just curious about everyone's thoughts on them.

I love making them... they are 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 and you can do whatever you want ... I just did a Halloween swap on another site... I made the Halloween theme. It would be fun to get a swap going... maybe with a fall theme.

Stephanie... if you look in the archived section of the forum (near the bottom) where "use our summer stash" is, look for my list. I did 50 ATC's using the challenges. I love the vintage looking ATC's I have seen out there and am going to try some of those real soon! Good luck and let us see what you create!

Thanks for the info! Christmas ones would be fun to swap too! I think I may try some of these. Do you just use regular cardstock or something heavier?

I actually use old playing cards Stephanie and then add cardstck to the fronts and backs. (after I have decorated the fronts), this gives them more durablitiy!

I use chipboard and either paint it... and crackle it... or cover it with paper and other things.. just so they aren't too flimsy.

Cool ideas guys! Thanks so much! Helen, I looked but the photos had been deleted & I couldn't find them in the gallery. Anyway, thanks again for the great ideas!
