Well, a little bigger than a business card, I'd say closer to playing card size. I'm not sure how long this one will go on, but the girls here are ADDICTED to ATC's so there are always atc swaps here! They are fun and addicting! You should join in! We can help you if you need any help!

If I don't want to wait for ones to be mailed, can I just cut them myself, as long as they're the same size? Are they just regular cardstock, or something heavier? Or maybe I can run to Liz' house and snag some from her! Do you put your info on the back? (I saw a stamp at Oriental Trading for the info)

I generally cut my own. I use chipboard. You can use cereal boxes, etc. Just something heavy. I wouldn't suggest cardstock, it needs to be a little thicker. I usually put something on the back, but I don't have the ATC stamp or anything. You can look up dimensions on google or something for the exact size.

I've actually been using cardstock as the precut ones you buy aren't thick at all!
They are 2.5 wide by 3.5 long. Look at a playing card - that is the actual thickness!

Thanks for all the info! Maybe I should wait to join in until my sewing/craft room is back together. There's nothing left in there but a table, a desk and a bookshelf (all with nothing on them!)

OK, Liz can be my guinea pig! She can come up and help me get my room together so I can get it done!
I'll do one that reflects the 1920's flapper age.
I would be happy with:
one with dragon(s) one that has a european flavor (not literally...I'm not going to eat it) one that has a raven

Ruby, I will make you a retro one!
And if anyone still wants to play - i could be happy with 1. one that is made with shades of turquoise 2. one that has a dragonfly on it 3. Surprise me!
And Amanda - I sent yours out today...
and dimension specs are 2.5" x 3.5" I usually make mine on heavier cardstock, and double the layers so that it's pretty stiff. But chipboard would work too, for sure.
hth! michelle
