Card by @curiousfae, photo by @irid3sc3nt

Discussion and Gallery thread is here: Ongoing ATC swap gallery & discussion 2022
Please make sure you are Watching this thread, or check it regularly.

From the old cā€™ster thread: This is an ongoing swap, with your level of participation determined entirely by you, with a minimum of one card for the month. People of all levels of card making are welcome. Sign-ups are open all month. Please make sure you are not late or flaky in any of your other swaps, and that you have good communication.

Artist trading cards can be made by anyone, from any material, with any method. The official card is the size of a rectangular baseball card, 2.5 by 3.5 inches done in a cardstock weight paper. This swap tends to openly interpret what that means. We have seen cards made from nature, sewn, woven, and knitted, pop-ups, movables, mini books, stained glass, clay, and even a 4-d dollhouse room. All skill levels welcome, just send your best work (and try to refrain from critiquing your own cards in the gallery any more than you would anyone elseā€™s!) Preferences can be mentioned when you make a claim.

Definitons:

atc: artist trading card.

artistā€™s choice: in claiming the creator chooses any theme but sticks to requests like flat cards only or hand-drawn only.

tbd: to be determined, in claiming the artist will pick from the theme list later.

kid card or card made by kiddos: only allowed where the theme list specifically mentions that they would like a kid card. Kid cards are always welcome as extras and should be posted in the gallery.

bulky: are cards that will not fit in a plastic baseball card sleeve

Questionnaire:
*Name of swap: Ongoing ATC Swap ā€“ October 2022
*Lettuce Craft username:
*Email address:
*Your real name AND Mailing address including the country (written as it would appear on the envelope):

*Are you at least 16 years old?
*Have you read the entire swap information for this swap?
*Have you met the Participant Conditions?
*Have you checked in with the gallery/discussion thread?
*What is the exact size of an atc?

*When sending sent/received messages to the swap organizer, there are four pieces of information that must be included about each swap. What are they?
*Bonus Q: What is your favorite halloween candy?

CLAIMING:
Starting September 1, you may begin claiming as soon as the organizer has approved your questionnaire. You may make as many claims as you like during the month as long as you have fewer than 10 claims outstanding (ie, that have not been SENT). After you make a claim, you have 2 weeks to send it; if you look at a calendar, your ā€œdue dateā€ will be two rows down. Please keep track of your claims; the organizer will do this also, but in case of confusion itā€™s always easier not to have to keep scrolling back upthread in search of stuff! :wink:

New swappers: If this is your first swap, you are allowed one claim to start. Once that card has been RECEIVED, you may make up to 10 claims just like everyone else.

Claims are made chain-style:
Swap Organizer posts a list of themes.
Swapper A chooses a theme from Swap Organizerā€™s list, and posts their own list of themes.
Swapper B chooses a theme from Swapper Aā€™s list, & posts their own list.
etcā€¦
At the end of the month the Swap Organizer will make a last claim and close the swap.

Your claim should look something like this:
I claim ATC Maker for ā€œhappy themeā€, due (2 weeks from today)
3/1/1 (3 claims made/2 sent/1 of those received)

Hi Iā€™m Swapper, from Country! Please donā€™t send me anything 3D or with fiery death.

My themes are:
Ponies
Hearts
Sandcastles
Tomatoes

After you have claimed, please message the person you claimed to ask for their address.

Then make your card & send it! :green_heart:
Because this is a swap of tiny papercrafts, you do not need a postal receipt. However, if your card does not arrive within 2 weeks, you will be asked to make and send a new one. (Given the pandemic & global mail nonsense, weā€™ll play this by ear, but we want everyone to get their cards!)

When you send or receive please be sure to message the organizer and the person your are sending to/receiving from with the following info:
*to (who is getting the card)
*from (who sent the card)
*due date
*theme chosen

this can be super simple:
I sent today!
due 8/14, from Swapper to ATC Maker for happy theme

When you get a card, post a picture to the gallery! You have 3 days from the day you receive to do this.

Feedback will be given when all your claims have been received & all the pictures you are responsible for have been posted.

Please post your general questions, encouragement, and other chatting in the gallery/discussion thread also. (For specific questions message the organizer.) This thread should contain claims only.

Enjoy your ATCs!

Iā€™m Megan in Indiana, USA. I welcome cards from all skill/experience levels! Nothing political, preachy, Covid-related, or shedding glitter, please.

I keep my cards in sleeves in a binder, so I appreciate low bulk, but thatā€™s not a deal-breaker.

-artistā€™s choice
-Poeā€™s ā€œThe Ravenā€

ā€¢ cute creature/mouse/etc on a journey (i.e. something like a little mouse with backpack and walking stick walking in a strange world. Doesnā€™t have to be this exactly, but something that evokes the same kind of feeling.)
ā€¢ watercolor landscape that features a building of some sort (real, made up)
ā€¢ dark moody landscape
ā€¢ dark moody graveyard landscape
ā€¢ gothic graveyard in snow
ā€¢ art done in the style of James Christensen, Mouseguard, World of Warcraft, Creaks (amanita designs), machinarium (amanita designs)

NEW Themes based on lyrics from my Halloween mix

a heart-breaker bringing death by sexy
all my friends were vampires
and your eyes will die like fish
at night i cry and howl at the moon
creature with the atom brain
(dude gutteral shouting)
everyone at this partyā€™s a vampire
got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck
his shadow is cast wherever he stands
i like my mice, i like them dead
i make great peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
iā€™ve been around for ages, but iā€™m terrified of you
Iā€™ve got time, all the time I need to put an end to you
i wanna be an alien
i was walking with a ghost
(lady screaming)
monster love, always so hard to find
my fingers have shriveled and dropped to the dirt
oh the werewolf comes stepping along
sheā€™s marked by an unusual grin
stacks of green paper in his red right hand
the ghost who walks, sheā€™s on the prowl
the moon is full and shines an evil blinding light
we could party, party in the graveyard tonight
we will be the hands that lift you up
with great yellow fangs reaching down to his chin
would you still love me if i were a monsterā€™s mind
youā€™re a vampire, no reflection at all

Thank you for crafting for me!

Howdy! Iā€™m Carissa and I live in a suburb of Denver, Colorado.
Every thickness of ATC is okay! Unsealed glitter is not! No clowns. Nothing political or religious unless specified in my themes.

NEW Themes based on lyrics from my Halloween mix

a heart-breaker bringing death by sexy
all my friends were vampires
and your eyes will die like fish
at night i cry and howl at the moon
creature with the atom brain
(dude gutteral shouting)
everyone at this partyā€™s a vampire
got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck
heā€™s my kind of guy cuz iā€™m Draculaā€™s sister
his shadow is cast wherever he stands
if you have ghosts, then you have everything
i like my mice, i like them dead
i make great peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
iā€™ve been around for ages, but iā€™m terrified of you
Iā€™ve got time, all the time I need to put an end to you
i wanna be an alien
i was walking with a ghost
(lady screaming)
monster love, always so hard to find
my fingers have shriveled and dropped to the dirt
oh the werewolf comes stepping along
sheā€™s marked by an unusual grin
stacks of green paper in his red right hand
the ghost who walks, sheā€™s on the prowl
the moon is full and shines an evil blinding light
we could party, party in the graveyard tonight
we will be the hands that lift you up
with great yellow fangs reaching down to his chin
would you still love me if i were a monsterā€™s mind
youā€™re a vampire, no reflection at all

Thank you for crafting for me!
