What's an OC Trading Card Event? 🌱
It's a small fun gimmick where we'll create cards of our OCs ( Original Characters ) and we'll trade them with other OC owners during the event! This will help to promote your own OCs, create connections with friends, and at the same time to have a cute collection of OCS from each other! (maybe you can even find a perfect pair for your oc in this event too! :3)⭐ This fun activity is inspired by @illy.art's oc trading event!
Who can join? 🌼
Everyone can participate in the trading event! You can trade your cards as a congoer or as an exhibitor. If you don't know who you can trade with you can check the spreadsheet to find friends and exhibitor tables who have trading cards!Exhibitors are encouraged to put a small signage for trading cards so it'll be easy to recognize for the traders!

Please list your name on the Trade List: Paskomiket Trade List: Pota Cebu Winter too for easy trading!
Making the Card ❄️
The standard size of the card will be roughly around the same size of a trading card: 3.5 in x 2.5 in Doesn't have to be really exact but it should be within that size.
You can either:
- Print it at home and paste the front and back of the card together.
( I recommend doing this so it'll be thicker and so we can have uniformed cards.)
- Order from a printing shop.What paper?
You can print it on an A4 cardstock paper preferably 220 GSM
