An ATC is a tiny work of art. It is either  a 3.5" x 2.5" (9 cm x 6.5 cm) rectangular card or a circular card (Artist Trading Coin) with a 2.5" (6.5cm) diameter. 

You can create your ATC with any  media, materials or techniques you wish as long it is of the standard size and therefore fits into a standard trading card sleeve.

​

Once you have created your ATC you add your details to the back of it (so other members know who made it) and send it to another member  on the ATC list.  The ATC needs to be added to an ATC book - Either an existing one or a new one that you make.

​

The ATC book will go to 4  members in total and each member will place an ATC or ATC coin into the book. When the book is filled it is sent to the intended book recipient. The book recipient then makes that person a 'Thank you' book using the same process.

​

See the resources section for details about making an ATC book.
