Description:

I have participated in a swap like this on one of my yahoo groups, and I loved making thecards, as well as recieving them. We can't call the ATCs, because they are not the dimensions required for them. I call them "mini art cards". They must be 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", and the art on them can be whatever you want. Rubber stamping, collage, anything goes! No copies please, but digitals are welcome as long as they are embellished in some way. This will be an easy swap, make 3 mini art cards for 2 partners. They should be different cards to each partner so as not to have duplicates. This swap is international, so anyone can partcipate. I'm even going to make the sign up dates and mail out dates far enough ahead so that you don't get stressed making them! These cards are so cute, you'll find yourself getting hooked!

I need to edit this! the swap is 3cards per 2 partners!!! I'll figure out how to fix it soon! susi

Susi 11/23/2006 #

I fixed the error, now to get a picture up, so you can see what I have made... susi

Susi 12/ 6/2006 #

No comments anyone??? Let's get some discussion started! LOL, I'm feeling lonely here talking to myself! susi

Hello! This sounds fun, I love ATC's and even smaller cards can only be even cuter righ?!

Drachenfrau 12/ 8/2006 #

Hi there, great idea. What are they in cm?

Drachenfrau 12/ 8/2006 #

found a site at google: http://www.carstenkiehn.de/deutsch/zoll-cm.htm so it's 3,81cm x 6,35cm

user4290 12/ 8/2006 #

I have done a swap before in this size,they are great fun to make,and just as addictive as the normal size ones.

lgj302 12/ 9/2006 #

I'm looking forward to this swap and seeing what people do. I just got into ATCs this past summer and have had a great time with them, so will enjoy trying this smaller format.

Susi 12/11/2006 #

Yay!!! Comments! I was feeling lonely for a while there! Monika, I am glad that you were able to find the measurements in cm, because I couldn't have helped you with that! I'm glad to see that you have joined my swap... maybe THIS time we'll get partnered! But if not I still owe you the panda ATC. Anyway, it's good to see all of you that have joined the swap! It ought to be a good one! susi

Drachenfrau 12/11/2006 #

Hey Susi, we "meet" often, don't we. :-) I think I will make them tonight, I'm very curious about them. Hihi.

Susi 12/13/2006 #

Hi everyone just leaving a message so you know. This is Susi's daughter Kaity, my mom is in the hospital right now we aren't sure for how long but hopefully not to long. She may or may not be out in time for this or any of her other swaps but she said she will try and get them done at the hospital.

Lots of Love, Kaity

Drachenfrau 12/13/2006 #

Hello Kaity, that's sad to hear. Please give your mother greetings and I wish her much health! Monika

I really hate that 'click here when sent link' -- I clicked on the wrong link -- I haven't sent my cards yet -- I still haven't been assigned a partner -- so sorry -- they will go in the mail as soon as the computer gives me my partners and I will let my partners know since my fingers got happy:-( lol

graydragon 12/16/2006 #

I don't have any partners yet either, there seems to be a swap-bot glitch as several swaps are having the same problem!

AlteredAddict 12/16/2006 #

Well I sure am glad to know it wasn't just me who was having that problem:-)that was how I ended up clicking on send I was going to the list of players to see if anyone else had received partners and marked as sent... Well I did get my Junk Mail partners OK, so hopefully they will get it figured out soon.

AlteredAddict 12/16/2006 #

We have lift off:-) lol

My mini cards will be in the mail this afternoon:-)

Alphenquilts 12/17/2006 #

Theresa and Laura, your cards will be leaving the Netherlands.

groeten Francis

AlteredAddict 12/17/2006 #

Elen and Laura I'm dropping yours off at the post office this evening on my way to a Christmas party:-)

Drachenfrau 12/18/2006 #

Francis and Karen your cards will be mailed out on Wednesday.

Mel 12/18/2006 #

Amanda & Monika,

Your cards are on their way! :)

Yooper and Ellen W, your cards are on the way!

Susi 12/20/2006 #

Boy, are you guys busy or what?!? I have made some minis but they are autumn themed, would anyone mind them, or should I just get my stampies out and make some new ones? I am glad I gave us a lot of time to work on these lol! After having been in the hospital, I lost a lot of timer. I made atcs and such, but did not know my trades, so did not get anywhere on them, oops! And yes Monika, whe sure do "meet up" a lot these days, I just sent you an email... you'll be hearing from me personally very soon! susi

Karen 12/21/2006 #

I received cute cards from Amanda today! Thank you!

lgj302 12/22/2006 #

Theresa - Your minis arrived today. I love them! Thanks so much.
I am totally sold on this size! It's so much fun. Has anyone come up with a good storage and/or display idea for this size??

Susi 12/22/2006 #

Laura, I just use the same card holder as for the regular ATCs, they seem a little small in there, but it's really doesn't detract much from how nice they look. So far I have 9 mini cards, and hope to fill the back of the card holder sheet with this swap and maybe later a personal swap or we can do another mini swap sometime soon! susi

lgj302 12/22/2006 #

Susi - Thanks for the tip. And thanks for doing this swap. I'm not sure if I would have ever tried this size otherwise. Now I'm looking for more opportunities to swap this size. Maybe I'll even set up a swap myself (I've not tried doing that yet).

Susi 12/22/2006 #

Go for it Laura! that way I can join up and get more minis for my collection! just wait for a little while so i can get caught up with i am already doing! susi

Drachenfrau 12/23/2006 #

Hey Mel your wonderful cards arrived yesterday! Awesome! Thank you very much for the nice letter too! I wish all of you a merry christmas!

Alphenquilts 12/23/2006 #

Hi Monika, your cards arrived today, thanks! I specially like that the backgrounds are color-coordinated!

groeten Francis

Mel 12/24/2006 #

Hi Monika,

So glad you liked the cards I sent! Have fun celebrating Christmas in Germany! :)

Cheers, Mel

Susi 12/26/2006 #

thank goodness that christmas is over! last night I was up til 5:30 am finishing 2 tag neclaces that i made for my son's girlfriends. They really aren't into that kind of thing but I made them anyway, I think they turned out beautiful! Anyway, now I have LOTS of left overs that I can make some minis with, so I should have them out soon. Not today though, I am going to rest, it was a longgggg night! I hope that your Christmas was bright a wonderful! susi

Alphenquilts 12/27/2006 #

Hi Amanda (kittenoangel),

Just wondering if you've received my cards yet?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Mel

Susi 12/29/2006 #

Whew, I FINALLY got my cards made! I'll be sending them off in the next few days, I want to get some other swaps done so I can mail them all together. susi

Susi 01/ 1/2007 #

LOL, I went and posted that I was done, and I am NOT! I have made 5 minis, and now have to make 4 more! 2 for this swap, ans two for a private swap... arrrggghh, I hate when I get all mixed up! susi

Drachenfrau 01/ 3/2007 #

Kittienoangel, I got your lovely cards. Thanks. :-) Happy new year to all!

user4019 01/ 4/2007 #

Deborah - I got your great mini's today - yes, I agree, they are a lot of fun to make. I almost like making them more than ATC size! Thanks again - Happy New Year! -Jen C (scootgirl)

Mel 01/ 8/2007 #

Hi Susi,

I just got your ADORABLE cards in the mail! I love them all, but I think my favorite is the "Kitty Cat Band".

Thanks for a great swap! :)

Mel

user4290 01/10/2007 #

Hi all, My thanks to Yooper,I got your lovely cards safe and sound.

For Paula and Deborah,apologies I am a little behind,but your cards have been sent,and should be with you next week.

Victoria

Mel 01/19/2007 #

Hi,

I've yet to receive the cards from my other partner, but it says that everyone has sent their cards. I already got them from Susi, so could my other partner let me know if they've REALLY sent them or not?

I've been burned quite a bit lately and I don't like leaving a "1", but I will if I have to. So if I don't have my cards by Monday (unless I hear from my partner), I'm afraid that's what I'll have to do.

Thanks, Mel

Mel 01/19/2007 #

Hi missmystery (Renee),

I got your cards today - they're great! I'm really curious - what is the background you used for all three? It says something about Baton Rouge, but I can't tell. Anyway, they're really cool! My fave is the "May I have this dance?" one.

Thanks again! Mel

to YopperHill, Hello! I am very sure I sent out your items. I sent it 2 days before the deadline is up because I finished it way before hand.
