First, for those of you who don't know, these cards are mandatory size of 3 1/2 X 2 1/2, which is the same size as regular playing cards. ATC's (Art Trading Card) are cards that you trade with others and collect. You can either use regular playing cards to make these or cut your own and you can decorate them any way you like using any medium or embellishments.

I thought these little works of art would be perfect for a swap, hence that's exactly, or mostly, what they are made for. They can be framed or kept in collectors folder, just like baseball cards.

This swap can also be like the page swap, ongoing, which I will decide later depending on how many join or like the idea. So let's say we do 9 cards to start; you can cut 9 3.5 X 2.5 cards from one piece of card stock or paper. If this is a success and we have ppl who would like to join and collect these cards, I'm thinking the rules will be the same as the page swap if it turns into an ongoing swap.

If 9 is too many for you or you have any suggestions, feel free to comment.

So who's up for this one?

And did I mention that this is cheap swap?! :)

I am, i've just started getting into making these through swap-bot so i'd love the chance to make more

15 May 16:33
Great!

16 May 14:57
I'm in. Thanks for the opportunity and I Love ATC's. I think we should start with an even dozen since it would probably encourage more people with not so much time on their hands. That is my only challenge, finding the time to do them. I hope we get a few more to get it going soon.

oooh oooh pick me pick me!!! *jumps up and down* lol :D

16 May 16:55
this would be my first post...as well as my first swap... Recently I started putting some of my latest projects online - count me in!

16 May 17:40
Ok, that makes 5 of us so far!! I will post partners next Friday.

If anyone likes to see this is an ongoing swap, let me know and I will post guidelines and such. ^_^

16 May 19:09
I promised myself I wouldn't sign up for anymore swaps until school is done, but this one doesn't sound too complicated so I'm in. (I usually doodle and draw at night anyways)

16 May 21:22
Yay!! The more the merrier!

17 May 02:38
Id be up for this if you make it an ongoing one. I unfortunately have a bit too much on my plate at the moment so I don't have time to do it :( So I'll be skipping the first time round.

17 May 03:30
No problem Rhibi. If this is a success, most likely it will be an ongoing thing.

21 May 14:51
Ok guys, I will be posting partners tomorrow and right now it's down to 5 of us so far this round. I will try this is an ongoing swap for a while, so I will be posting the guidelines soon. ^_^

22 May 16:25
Ok, here is the partner list for this round.

Creativemind and Lily
Schnaasi and Dani
Sugarlishes and Expired Insanity

This should be a fairly cheap swap as far as postage, which would only require a regular size envelope (small 9.2 cm X 16.5 cm).

Send out date is a week from today (May 29), but if you are gonna be late or something let your partner know what's up.

22 May 16:38
How many stamps do i need to put on the envelope for it to go to canada? Anyone know?

22 May 16:48
are we doing 9 or 12?

22 May 17:00
Cuz postage usually doubles from the states to canada, probably 2, I usually just let my post office stamp it and pay directly to them, in any case for a small envelope i dont think it would be over a buck, but don't quote me on that. I usually just call my post office here and ask for rates and stuff like that. I know from here, it wont cost over 75 cents is the weight is less than an ounce. Hope that helps.

22 May 17:04
9 Dani, but you can make more if you want.

23 May 17:31
Do we send all nine cards to one person?

25 May 04:46
yeah ES, and cuz this may be an ongoing swap, the next round you will only have to make 5 and send 4 of the ones you received to your next partner. I will be posting the rules and guidelines for the this swap later. It will be something like the the page swap.

26 May 17:47
i had alot making the cards, I even made my own envelope to protect the cards(inspired by you creative for making the envelope with my last swap) I wll be mailing it out in just a few once I find my daughter's flip flops lol :D yayaya

28 May 00:01
Hi, Just tuned in and yea you're my partner. I dont make them in any particular set or anything like that so mine are pretty much what I am thinking at the time. Hope you love them as much as I do. Lily

28 May 14:55
No problem Lily, I make my the same way. My cards are always different, but there are a few I make that are kinda like a series or theme or something, but usually they are different. I have eclectic tastes in art so they are random. And I'm sure I will love the ones you send.

01 Jun 13:18

01 Jun 22:21
