Description:

I saw these swaps and they looked interesting so I thought we'd give it a try!

BTC = Binary Trading Card

Size of BTC = 1.75 X 3.5 inches

Hole is punched in upper left hand corner for hanging on a ring or in a binder

Both sides of BTC is to be finished

Sandwich a piece of heavier paper such as cardboard, etc. between the front and back to make it sturdy.

Think ATC - except it's smaller and it's finished on both sides

Theme is: INSPIRATIONAL WORD (Hope-Cherish-Love-Dream-etc.) on both sides

Embellish both sides just like you would for an ATC. Embellishments may stick out a little bit on the sides - NOT MUCH but a little if you want.

Enjoy!

So the card is like 1 3/4" X 3 1/2"? Measured by a ruler

  • @Jjean - This is new for me too but I think they will be fun to collect on a ring.... Hope you give it a try! :-))**

  • @DixieDiane - That's correct - 1 3/4 x 3 1/2 measurement... same length as an ATC but 3/4" smaller in width..... :-))**

Only 1 to partner?

barbieloufromKY 10/27/2015 #
  • @scrappermama - Yes only 1 to partner.....if this turns out to be a swap that is liked and the members would like the swap to be more the next time then we'll do more. It's for front and back so there's some time involved in just making the one.... Hope this helps... :-))

These are great fun--it takes a bit to get used to the narrow width, but because you can lap beyond the edges, you have more space if you want. For instance, you could use a row of lace attached to the edge of the card and visible from front and back. Some people I've swapped with also add dangling bead from the lower corner which can be beautiful and elegant, depending on the theme of the card. The hole punched in in the upper left corner allows you to collect them on a ring or a piece of ribbon. I have mine hanging from the ring in my art room. These are great fun!
