Ongoing ATC Swap 2026 Gallery & Discussion

January is coming to a close! Are people ready to dive into another round?

  • More ATCs might save my sanity!
  • Sounds nice, maybe I’d claim once or twice.
  • Too much snow/[real-world crap of choice.]

I received from @MamaRhi for my tooth fairy theme. Check out this bada$$ character. I absolutely love the take on something normally pink and sparkly.

I am so glad the tooth fairy made it safely to you! My brother called it the marauding molar, but I thought “same same.” :wink:

I want to apologize to those waiting on cards to or from me. The mail hasn’t run in over a week due to the ice. I think it ran yesterday, so I put my cards in the mailbox today, but I didn’t receive any. If you are waiting, they will get to me, but I am sure my Post Office has a backup now. I will let you know when they arrive.

Seeing all the little art pieces here made my day!

@gozer Mail is spotty everywhere, it seems! The snow is piled up along the streets, blocking the trucks in some places. We have the best mailman ever, though…he stops and walks up to the porch and rings the bell. He is not allowed to leave it on the porch, but if you answer, he can hand it to you.

I learned the hard way a couple of years ago that with big snows, I have to shovel space for the PO vehicle to get to the mailbox or they won’t deliver/pick up.

Pretty sure it was swap ATCs I was trying to send, actually.

I received this awesome anglerfish from @MamaRhi for my sea creatures theme, and I love it! I especially like that it looks like it’s really lighting up the card.

Ha ha, love the ATC and the theme! Such a fun idea

OMGosh! All these ATC are fab.

  • The angler fish is amazing with the glowing quality. The tooth fairy is great art, but also a little good scary;)
  • The sloth looks like a a dreamy illustration from a child’s book I definitely want to read.
  • The happy monster on the black board is such a nice effect with all the colors
  • I love the mind horse in all it’s odd glory
  • The Nessie stamp is really cool. I like the white and blue. The background is great, with the textures and color collage.

So many fun cards! People are all fired up for the year of the fire horse!

I’ve been lurking this website all January and I’m so excited to finally be able to send in my application to participate here. I was reminiscing about the good ‘ol days and Craftster was such a big part of my life before it suddenly shut down. I learned so much from that community. I mostly hung out in “clothing” and was obsessed with t-shirt surgery and upcycling with old fabric! My fav swaps back then were ATC, ongoing wish, and the stash declutter one.

After some googling I found this wonderful little nook of the Internet! I’m so glad to see you guys kept the spirit alive after all those years :face_holding_back_tears:

I actually remember many of your usernames from the old site! My username was 6iggle but I lurked more than I posted. Anyways, big hugs to you all! :face_holding_back_tears::sparkling_heart:

Welcome back! I showed up here last Winter in the exact same way, looking for Craftster. (I think my name on the old site was SuomiSidhe. Someone else had taken MamaRhi before I got there.)

Here’s the back, it says alcohol markers and micron pen.
