Swap-bot defines an APC as: "Altered playing card, like an ATC except that you use a poker sized playing card(2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″), as the base. The only other rule in making APCs is that you must leave one of the corner numbers and suit visible." There will be four of these swaps, and I recommend joining each of them as they come up. The goal is to create an entire APC deck with each suit coming from a different swapper. Step one: Run off to the dollar store and pick up a deck of cards. Step two: Get rid of the jokers and any other unnecessary-for-playing card, and then sort the remaining 52 cards by suit. Step three: Take all the cards of the diamonds suit. Step four: Alter away! Each card can be completely different, or you can have groups of things be of a certain theme. Examples of groupings: All the Royal cards (jacks, queens, kings) have one theme, aces and number cards another; each suit can be a different theme; each type of card can have its own theme (ex. tens have butterflies, aces have stars, etc.); or whatever else you can think of! KEEP THE REST OF THE DECK! There are swaps for every suit! For this swap you are sending ONE complete suit - this one is DIAMONDS - to ONE partner. This is a SENDER'S CHOICE swap, but if you'd like to scan your swap partner's profile to see what they're into and base your cards around that feel free! I've given a fair bit of time to complete this swap as I imagine it'll be rather time-consuming and having a long time to finish it should help cut down the number of flakers. All swappers of good standing and newbies with well-completed profiles welcome. Also, beginners at this craft (like myself!) as well as experts can join! I might be able to angel but if anyone here would like to volunteer to do so if necessary please let me know! Look out for the other three suits: Spades, Clubs, and Hearts! |
