In keeping with the artist trading card celebration here at Altered Pages, I'd like to share some of my favorite atc makes. I like to keep the artist trading cards I mail fairly flat, but sometimes it's fun to go outside that 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch canvas, as with this Christmas card (the photo captions are links!):
And there's always the option of keeping the atc flat, but giving it an inside--making it a tiny book or card, like with this Irish Blessings book:

This one is a standard atc sized card when folded, but opens to reveal a pop-up butterfly:
