Artists Trading Cards or ATCs are miniature works of art the craft world is totally JAZZED about! This new hot trend is all the rage for crafters of every sort -- mixed media, paper or fabric artists and stampers! These little canvases are like a "calling card" for artists. The main idea is to network with other artists by joining swaps and online Clubs and TRADE the ATCs--thus the name "Artists Trading Card". They are usually created following a theme the 'host' of the swap or trade decides upon and usually in a series of 4-6 cards at a time. This book has a special twist -- ATCs made with rubber stamps! The reason for this is to allow the possibly intimidated crafter to feel free to jump on board the ATC wagon and have fun -- as EVERYONE knows how to stamp!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of inspiration!,
This review is from: Rubber Stamping Artist Trading Cards (Paperback)
This book is basically an ATC art gallery. There are instructions for each card, but some of them seem a little confusing (there are instances where you can't actually see where a certain stamp or element was placed... the photos of the cards are not large). There are also a few typos and grammatical errors that I noticed throughout the text.There's a nice section at the front on the basics of using rubber stamps, inks, masks, dry brushing, etc. And there's a huge list of websites at the back so you can find almost all of the stamps that were used in these cards. It's a fun book to look at. I just think some of the instructions could have been a little clearer. For inspiration, though, it's a nice book and should give even experienced ATC artists some new ideas.

This review is from: Rubber Stamping Artist Trading Cards (Paperback)
One of my favorite things is rubber stamps, and the use of stamps in making all the various ATCs combines to produce a spectacular book. Also there is a lot of instruction,as well, in this book. I highly recommend this book for all rubber stampers along with other ATC-artist trading card-makers for delving into this new crafting craze.
