Making artist trading cards (ATCs) is a hugely popular activity for artists. Originally a paper/collage-based art form, ATCs have caught on with crafters working in a range of mediums and are now just as popular among fabric and mixed-media artists. ATCs are mini art works, the size of a playing card, often created as limited editions. The back of each card contains the artist's name and contact information. The idea behind the cards is to make them and then give, trade, or share them with others. This collection inspires with 1,000 original cards in a beautiful pageant of color, composition, and creative use of materials. The book also includes a special section devoted to explaining what ATCs are, how to get started, and includes some exciting technique information. Curated by Patricia Bolton, founder and editor-in-chief of two of the most exciting creative magazines on the newsstands, the book meets the Quarry Books mission of offering artistic and challenging new ideas to traditional paper artists, scrapbookers, mixed-media artists, and quilters by merging paper, fabric, and surface embellishment through experimentation and discovery.

Wonderful array of styles of ATC's. Fantastic source for inspiration and a great creative jump-start. Just flip through for the cure for 'blank canvas syndrome'. Something for every skill level and many different styles. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in mixed-media art. -- Great read; very inspiring!
This is a BIG book. Too many ATCs to count, but all very well done and many will spark your creativity. -- 1000 of anything could be too many
If you are at a loss what ATC cards, or just brain just needs to be jump started, this is the book for you! The images were very clear, and gave me many new ideas for this type of crafting. -- Inspirational
