Hi there, just loving your site! I have added a link back to this from my site as I am starting an ATC group and think this is a great place for artists to stop by, also I have added your photo above of some cards to show artists what they look like, I do hope that is ok. I have credited your site for use of it.
Many thanks
Collette

Thanks for the comment, Britney.

I was in the Dick Blick store here in Philadelphia the other day and noticed they were selling packs of “Artist Trading Card” blanks at the counter; with various surfaces, bristol, watercolor, drawing paper, etc; though I don’t see them in their online catalog yet.

“This is the first ever ATC (Artist Trading Card) “Play it Forward”
letter- where stampers, scrapbookers and other artists join forces
to create a fun swap that will hopefully never end.
The basic requirement is to make six (6) ATCs and snail mail one to each
person on the list below. Then remove the TOP name from the list and add
your name and address to the BOTTOM. Either print this letter out and
send it to six new people, or if you prefer as I did, e-mail it to
six new people. Keep in mind that we would like this swap to continue
so please forward it to like-minded stampers &/or artists who will
follow through with this project.
You will hopefully receive a large amount of ATCs and this swap
will continue to thrive for a long time. If by chance you do not know
six other ATC artists or six other people who would be interested, try
e-mailing artists from the back of your collected ATCs.
Rules for trading cards:
** Size must of course be 2 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches
** No thicker than 1/2 cm (about 1/4″ with embellishments)
** Open theme (any topic and all can be different)
** Please put contact information on the back of the ATC
** Please forward cards and letters within four (4) weeks of receiving this letter

I recognize a few of those cards you have posted….I’m assuming you have permission from the owners to post them? I don’t see the original artists names referenced…
While I’m glad that you are raising interest about ATCs, its’ good to make sure it’s done the right way.

Thanks for stating where this concept originated. I love artist trading cards. I've made a few beaded ones for just for fun. I like them because they make art even more fun to collect... You can view my ATC's HERE.
