ATC Essentials Artist Trading Card Photopolymer Clear Stamp Set

The ATC Essentials Artist Trading Card stamp set is designed especially for artists and paper crafters who love creating, trading and collecting miniature works of art. Designed by Samantha Labonte, this Scraps of Love exclusive gives you frames, labels, postal-inspired details and other useful elements for creating and documenting your ATCs.

Artist Trading Cards, commonly called ATCs, are miniature works of art measuring exactly 2.5 x 3.5 inches—the same size as a standard trading card. Artists create them using stamping, mixed media, collage, painting, drawing and other techniques, then trade them with other artists.

The set is also useful for ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals), which share the same 2.5 x 3.5-inch format.

ATC Essentials includes both decorative elements and practical information stamps, making it easy to add finishing details to the front or record important information on the back of your artwork. Add your artist name, title, theme and date, or incorporate the postal-inspired images, borders and frames directly into your design.

Whether you’re making your first Artist Trading Card, creating cards for a swap, or adding to a growing collection, ATC Essentials is a versatile tool designed specifically with miniature artists in mind.
