Trading card/mixed media how-to guide, 2008-09-08
Wether you're a pro or just stepping into the world of ATC's, you'll get a lot out of this book. If you're already experienced in creating ATC's you'll most likely find instructions for a technique you've never tried before. If you're new to the ATC/mixed-media/collage craft, this is a great guide.

There are numerous techniqes featured with great instructions and step by step pictures. There are lots of gorgeous examples from a wide variety of ATC pro's.

This is a book I know I'll be referring back to often as my talent and ability grows in this type of art. Besides the great instructional guide, it's fun to look at for ideas.

Creating ATCs- a good first look, 2008-06-22
This was my first ATC book and gives good ideas, guidelines, techniques. Kind of neat- a teacher from my old highschool was featured in here. I DO like how several different styles were highlighted in the book.

Bernie Berlins ATCs, 2008-06-22
Terrific book with a lot of fresh ideas. Some items are harder to find, but reasonable subsitutes can often be found...for instance Orange Goo Gone can be used in place of Gamsol in some instances. You can find a number of groups working on the challenges together and sharing their progress with this book and that's an extraordinary situation, IMO. I love it!

Great book!, 2008-05-06
This is one of the best "how to" craft books I have ever read. I've just gotten interested in ATCs and the instructions on different methods and history of this artform are excellent. I highly recommend this book for beginners!
