Artist Trading Cards are
small works of art that are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. You cut an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock into 10 pieces. Length wise cut 2 - 2 1/2 x 11 strips that leaves one strip 3 1/2 by 11. Take the 2 1/2 x 11 strips and cut them into 3 1/2 cards you will have 6 of them. Then take the 3 1/2 strip and cut it into 2 1/2 in cards you'll have 4 of these
You can use these as focal points on a full size card or display them in protector sheets in three ring binders. The sheet holds 9 cards and can be purchased where baseball cards are sold.
If you look in the gallery under the 'Anything but a Card' section there is a special section for trading card samples.
They are easy and fun as well as economical to make.
