Artist Trading Cards- ATCs

Artist Trading cards are like little works of art 2 1/2" X 3 1/2". Traditionally they were used by artists as sort of a business card from 1 artist to another. I like creating them because just like Art Journaling and Card Making...the possibilities are endless.

I make mine in series of 3- 1 for me, 1 for my son(an artist) and 1 to give away to another artist.
I also like to sign mine all the same on the back.

I keep mine in a 3 ring binder using clear sleeves designed for collector cards.
They are TONS of fun!

  1. I have mine in a three ring binder. I have two 3 inch binders! I haven't made many lately. If you want to trade a couple sometime, let me know. Yours are great! Love the fishy one especially.
