5. Artist Trading Cards

Ready for a little more art mixed in with your craft?

Like Artist Trading Cards, altered playing cards, such as this altered playing card made (with tutorial!) by The Split Stitch, allow you to let your creative license run free with an object purely decorative, but the consistency of always using an upcycled playing card as your base allows you to skip that tedious first step of cutting your base paper down to size. The challenge of figuring out how to incorporate media like watercolors or markers without the ability to just switch papers will make your work even more creative.
