ATC Swap Challenge

Hello there Peoples, I am looking at starting an Artist Trading Card (ATC) swap. This will be held on a monthly basis, and what will happen is that for example, if 5 people sign up, then everyone signed up will have to make 5 ATC's the same, and then they all get sent into me and I will then distribute them so that everyone will get one of each of the 5 ATC's. They are great to collect, use on cards or page layouts. I have only just started doing these, but they are fun and different to what i normally do. I will put some more info about the ATC when I find it and let u know the details for the first one!! Cheers and hopefully u will all join in and have a try!!

Let me know if u would be interested

For us people who are living under a rock and have absolutely no idea what a ATC is or looks like, could you please let us know or even show us some examples. Pretty pretty pretty please!!!

surely can! I will upload some that I have done and received from a different swap a while ago!!

That sounds good as I have no idea what your talking about and its not cos I am a taswegian with 2 heads !!!

Great. Thanks for that :-)

Will have to have a think about this, I do like ATCs, but I have so many other things going on!

So glad its not just me who doesn't know what they are - when it was first mentioned I was straight onto google searching scrap jargon ATC!!! That was helpful but freaked me out too as some of it was just amazing!

ok ladies, here is a little info that i found from the internet. hope it helps a little.

An ATC has to be made in the size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches or 64x89 mm.
~ An ATC can be made 2D or 3-D but has to fit in a standard size Artist Trading Card Envelope Sleeve
~ An ATC is meant to be swapped or traded but NOT SOLD
~ The Artist is to create a piece of art in a chosen style or theme on the front of the Artist Trading Card
~ The Artist is to add their name, contact details, artwork name and info , possible a limited edition number onto the back of an artist trading card

here is some examples of trading cards that i received from a different swap that i did a while ago. this was the first time that i had ever done it. mine is the photo with the 3 ATC cards in it!!

Let me know if u have any further questions.

They are all lovely!!!

There is something about ATCs that just pull you in.

Okay. They look lovely. Sign me up thanks

Oh they are precious! I may need to pass as I have a lot on with family issues ubt if there is another swap during the year I will enrol

not a problem, i am going to see how we go with monthly ATC and card swaps, so just keep a look out!! good luck

um all i put on the back of mine was my name, the date it was made and the artwork name, for example if the instructions are to make ATC with flowers, just put flowers, and u number all the cards for example, if u make 5 cards, u number them, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5. Have a look at the photos a couple of posts back and i took a photo of the back of the cards. some people who make a lot of them actually have a stamp for the back of the cards. hope this helps

I have a Kaszazz "Limited Edition" stamp that I got as a freebie recently. Now I know what I can use it for!

cool!! wonder where u would have got that from!!! hehehehe

Now let me just think.....

hehehe

Have you set a theme for this months, so we can start thinking. Some of us need a longer time to think than others LOL

ok something easy like flowers!!!
