Check out this awesome site I love:  www.atcards.com.  They have tutorials and information and best of all a huge inspirational gallery.  You can talk to members about techniques and ask questions if you want and there are a ton of themed swaps you can participate in if you're so inclined.

Hi Roxanne
Nancy Tillberg did a tutorial on ATC"S- I don't know if it is on her site somewhere or not. You could ask her

Roxanne, I was just going to post this same question, I just went to Bid4bears and saw Kims ATC and I loved them, then went and looked at all of the ones posted here and I want to try one, thanks for asking this question.
Roxanne when you get one done post it here and I'll do the same.

Hmmm I have never attempted one either Jodi,  I think I will give it a go after we get back from Schaumburg, I think we should start a thread when we get them done and everyone can post their ATC's.  I need to read through those web sites and find out what the heck I am suppose to do  bear_grin .

Shane I think that would be great, I know they have done threads before, but I never made one and as we can see from this thread, there are others who haven't, I think they are so cool, maybe we could even do a trade thing, I think thats been done too but it would be fun to revisit it.  What we could maybe do is try to get like 10 people or so and those ten make 10 cards and we then send them to each other.  I think once I work out a design for one, doing 10 wouldn't be that hard. or is that not what you do , are they supposed to be one of a kind??????? I think it would be really cool to collect these .

I want to, too!!

As a jumping off point, at least for me, could be gomakesomething.com ... there's a tutorial on making 10 cards out of one sheet of cardstock http://www.gomakesomething.com/content/view/49/2/  and a "formula" for making simple collaged ones for beginners http://www.gomakesomething.com/content/view/174/2/

Love you too, Ellen! :)

We have an ATC area here on the TT forum and please note that Bid4Bears allows both SALE and TRADE of ATC's on their site.  I think they're more "properly" called ACEO's -- Art Card Editions & Originals -- when they're sold, and ATC's -- Artist Trading Cards -- when they're swapped.  The only RULE of ATC's is that they be 2.5 x 3.5 inches.  The rest is up to your flights of fancy.
