Any kind of art or craft paper can be used and will depend on your intended purpose (what kind of medium, etc). The size (2.5*3.5 inches) is the key thing and that the end product be stiff like a trading card, just like Esmeralda says. I'm big on re-using things, so lately I've been using regular white card stock---I have tons of perfect 2.5" strips from a previous project. In addition to Esmeralda's suggestions, if you are using a light weight paper, you can glue it onto a regular playing card (check it's size first though as they aren't all the proper size).

Sometimes they can be addictive :) As far as what paper to use I have used bristol (it is like a thick card stock used for drawing) and watercolor paper depending on what your wanting to do on it. For watercolor pieces I go with watercolor paper because bristol can become too wet sometimes. Most of the time I do use bristol for hand drawn and some painted ATCs I do in acrylic, or water soluble crayons. Or you can use regular paper if your drawing on it, and then glue it on a more stable base like card stock or a piece from a cereal box as long as the size of the piece is 2.5"x3.5" (2 1/2"x3 1/2"). Hope I have helped you some :)
Have a fun!
