We've got Artist Trading Cards. Joumana Medlej, who wrote a primer on ATCs, says:
"As their name indicates, ATC are collectibles, a brilliant idea born of the older sports-themed trading cards. The one rule that makes an ATC derives from their origins: the dimensions of the ATC must be 2.5" x 3.5", or 64 x 89 mm."
You can use any media with ATCS, including beads, clay, and glass!
An important aspect of ATCs --
They are meant to be traded, not sold. Below the images, you can find links with info about making and trading them.

This website was an inspiration to me in 2010 to start making ATC's. It is still an inspiration today.
THANK YOU!
