And are meant for trading ONLY. Usually through the mail via various yahoo groups or in person at a gathering. (The art card above was created for a annual Fiskateer event where everyone made 50+ cards with our photo on the front and our personal info on the back.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Materials:</span><br />ATC's usually are made of a sturdy chipboard backing to ensure safe mailing. I like to recycle cereal and cracker boxes for ATC bases. In the past I used to score and cut each card on my paper trimmer. I went through quite a bit of blades this way! </span><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia;">I have also made my ATC's with painted vinyl, soda cans, fabric, .....<br />Craft stores carry a line of Trading card sleeves, envelopes and baggies meant to keep them safe till swapped.<br /><br />There are usually themes for a swap you might participate in. Here the theme was Nesting dolls. And as long as I kept my shape under 2.5"x3.5", I could use any shape. So I created a hand sewn doll that folds out to show to smaller nesting dolls. Go <a href="http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/2010/02/nesting-dolls-atcs.html" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">here</a> to see more nesting dolls.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQ6-R_axUuPoAKYnGgH4NuNWNM_nSyaRWfGGLCKNQrGIPsp1mFT4rVVZkTnAjggu-VJxDU5oiC3_SmCDv37kPFKADy0L0RZoTh-sXCY1qOM4d7sxV8k1aRt0JA3QDtZ1dzEkadBN0xzw/s1600/DSCN8621.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571222737303480482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQ6-R_axUuPoAKYnGgH4NuNWNM_nSyaRWfGGLCKNQrGIPsp1mFT4rVVZkTnAjggu-VJxDU5oiC3_SmCDv37kPFKADy0L0RZoTh-sXCY1qOM4d7sxV8k1aRt0JA3QDtZ1dzEkadBN0xzw/s400/DSCN8621.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 216px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 156px;" /></a>For the Alice in Wonderland swap, instead of making all my ATC's to be the same, I used a few brochures for the new movie and cut out images for each card. Then I accented them with glitter glue and shrink plastic key charms. I accented the edges with a gold leaf pen.

In this case it was a house I printed out and made a template from card board. I hand cut each ATC and covered it with paper, added a vintage <a href="http://faeriedustdreams-michelle.blogspot.com/2013/03/designers-craft-challenge-favorite.html"><b>packaging tape transfer</b> </a>image, added some wings from a butterfly punch (cut in two) and finished it off with a few rub-ons.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLSBLj5Zx_6IDe0DTVL7yW8H1mI1wU3H6fH2c1InRvx4uITuhW48EG_V8NqbP376X3ld2cW58rKLA6WeejuUlaSJzA6x3bWlbOp3PA9pP7i_fF28XJpfhlB8E_VzC0k2A8LjBI_svqvE/s1600/DSCN9648.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571222743881704434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLSBLj5Zx_6IDe0DTVL7yW8H1mI1wU3H6fH2c1InRvx4uITuhW48EG_V8NqbP376X3ld2cW58rKLA6WeejuUlaSJzA6x3bWlbOp3PA9pP7i_fF28XJpfhlB8E_VzC0k2A8LjBI_svqvE/s400/DSCN9648.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 309px;" /></a>This Bingo card was created with a rubber stamp made just for art cards.
