No They are not folded :)
They are like the football trade cards, just a little piece of card and top decorated

on the back you put your name, site which the swap is with, the theme, month/day and date and the country you are from

Hi,do you make them folded like a normal card or just a single square of card? The ones I've seen on the web look like they are not folded.Or does it not matter.:)

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art and a wonderful way to collect from all round the world.
They MUST be 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (6cm X 9cm) and you can store them in standard card-collector pockets.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged and NOT sold.
On the back you put your name, the date and the theme of the swap and then any other contact you wish.
An ATC usually follows a theme, but you can do whatever you like eg, painted, quilled, 3d etc you just make them as a mini card but remember they will be stored by the recipient so if you are doing 3d it is wise not to make them too thick/tall (too many layers)

If you have any questions just ask
