Jennifer,
ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. You take a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 card and decorate it and trade with others. It usually has a theme that is selected by the initiator. If you google artist trading cards images you can see some wonderful examples.
Deb, Sign me up. I love Tea.

For all the new girls coming in, I thought this might be helpful so all will know about ATC's.
Artist Trading Cards (ATC) are small works of art. They are 2 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long. You may use scrapbook paper and glue it onto a sturdy card board or card stock backing. You can also use regular playing cards as a backing.
Usually ATC's will have a theme and you create your work of art according to the theme. You may use whatever you choose to create your card, however, just sticking a sticker on the card and calling it an ATC is not the idea behind an ATC.
You can use brads, chipboard stickers, craft paper, scrapbook papers, paper doilies, ribbon, rhinestones, etc to decorate your card.
ACEO = "Artist Cards, Editions and Originals"
- that is what they are called when the artist want to sell and/or
purchase these tiny works of art
There are questions in our swaps about the "rules" about whether they are to be all the same or different. From what I learned there are no "rules" that really say they MUST be one way or the other.
There are three categories:
- ORIGINALS = only one card is created
- EDITIONS = group of cards that are identical
- SERIES = group of cards that follow the same theme or unifying factor but look different from each other.
NUMBERING the cards is dependent upon what category they fall into:
- ORIGINALS are number in numerical sequence as they are created (if the artist wants to know how many originals have been created)
Example would be if you are making a special birthday card for Aunt Sue and it is your first "original" it would be simply #1. If you create more "only one card" ATCs along the way they would just be in numerical sequence.
- EDITIONS are identified by an Edition Title and then numbered according to number in the group. "Edition" means they are identical.
Example would be "Edition: Harvest Fall" 1 of 24
- SERIES are identified by a Series Title and numbered the same as for Edition, according to number in the group. "Series" means they are not identical but of the same theme.
Example would be "Series: Christmas Aprons" 1 of 22 (if they are different looking. . as mine will be)
ON THE BACK: it is recommended you put your name, contact info such as an email or whatever you prefer and some type of numbering.
Everyone seems to be in agreement that they are additive, that the sky is the limit on creativity, and they are fun!

Deborah (Debtea2)THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the Cutest Tea and Tag Book you made. Oh my Goodnes that is so adorable. Deborah made a little book with pages in it made slots for the tea bags and between each pages put the ATC. And an extra goody of Swiss Chard Seed Package. When I got it out of the box walked back toward the house and set down under a tree that sits in the middle of our circle drive and my cat Sox came up to investigate. I was so excited when I opened it and so was Sox .He put his paw on it to take it.
Thank you Deborah I just love it and it is so wonderful how you did that. Happy Dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs Marlee
