Paint Your Own ATC Kit is your no-stress way to create tiny, tradable art that feels satisfying from the very first brushstroke. If you love watercolor, cozy crafting, and the thrill of swapping handmade pieces, this kit was made for your table. Each Paint Your Own ATC Kit includes 8 premium watercolor ATC fronts (artist trading cards) plus 8 swap-ready ATC backs—so you can paint, sign, and trade without hunting for the right size paper or figuring out what to write on the back.

Why You’ll Love This Paint Your Own ATC Kit

Small art has a special kind of magic: it’s quick to start, easy to finish, and wildly fun to collect. The Paint Your Own ATC Kit gives you a clean, confidence-boosting starting point with printed designs that are ready for color. Whether you’re new to mini art or you’re already a swapper with binder pages full of favorites, you’ll love how this kit removes the “setup” and leaves you with the best part—making.

What’s inside

You’ll receive:

• 8 watercolor-ready ATC fronts in the standard ATC size 2.5 x 3.5 inches

• 8 swap-ready ATC backs with fill-in lines (Title, Artist, Medium, Date, and @)

• A mix of fun designs (florals + cute scenes) you can paint your way

Premium watercolor paper that plays nice with your supplies

A great ATC starts with great paper. This Paint Your Own ATC Kit is made for wet media: think luminous washes, gentle gradients, and juicy color. Use:

• Watercolor (wet-on-wet or layered glazing)

• Markers (light layers + detail)

• Colored pencil over dry washes

• Gel pen highlights and fine-line ink accents (once fully dry)

Because the cards are sturdy, you can build color slowly—soft and dreamy—or go bold with saturated petals and punchy backgrounds.

Swap-ready backs that make trading effortless

One of the biggest pain points in artist trading cards is finishing the back neatly (and consistently). With this Paint Your Own ATC Kit, you’re already set up to trade. Fill in the details, add your handle, and you’re ready for swaps, mail art, or gifting. It’s the little “done” feeling that makes you want to create the next card immediately.

Ideas for how to use your mini art cards

Need inspiration? Here are easy ways to enjoy your Paint Your Own ATC Kit:

1. Paint a matching set (same palette across all 8 cards)

2. Try a “seasonal swap” theme (spring florals, cozy fall tones, winter cool hues)

3. Make happy mail extras—slip a finished card into a thank-you note

4. Create tiny originals for journaling (tuck one into a pocket page)

5. Host a mini paint night—trade cards at the end

Learn the ATC standard size (and why collectors love it)

ATCs are meant to be the same size across swappers, which is why 2.5 x 3.5 inches matters. If you’re curious about the format’s background and standards:
