YES you heard right "APC" . This stands for– Altered playing card.

♥I don't want anyone to feel intimated if you have never made one of these, that is OK everyone has to start somewhere.♥ :)

Let's have fun, that is why I made this first one a Free Theme.

~SENDER CHOICE~

THE IDEA

  • Make one APC for your partner.

  • 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. Sometimes there are a strange measurement of approx. 2.06"x3.25". This is also ok to use.

  • The only other rule in making APCs is that you must leave one of the corner numbers and suit visible. This was used from the Swap-Bot glossary.

  • You can use any medium of your choice.

  • Add embellishments, quotes, brads, ribbon, washi tape, stickers (limit how many), and etc

Important

  • Please make sure to on the back of your card to write the date, your name, and swap ID.

No recent unexplained 1 or 3 ratings. Newbies and Unrated swappers are allowed and encouraged to join. I will check all profiles before assigning partners!

Please rate fairly! Many of us are new swappers and this might be their first APC. So if they complete it and send it on time. Please rate with a 5. Please Remember this is still SENDER'S choice as long as they have meet the requirements. Rate them fairly!

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me!

Have fun!

the playing cards I have are not 2.5"x3.5". they are a strange measurement of approx. 2.06"x3.25". I'm not going to use these for swapping, only personal APC use. but I was wondering, have any of yall ever had this problem with off- measurement cards? I never paid attention to our playing cards' sizes before. I'm going to take a ruler with me to the store, & hope the box size is the same as the cards. I'm brand new to APC. I made my first last night for practice, & it was quite fun. 😊looking forward to this swap. happy Easter! 🐣

@spookgal Thank you for joining this swap. I haven't actually measured the cards before LOL. That is strange measurement. I know the Dollar Tree has a great selection of playing cards. However I think you will be fine with the cards you already bought. As long as the are not a mini card playing set. I would hate for you to go out and buy more.

We will be adding more of APC swaps soon.

Don't worry this will be my first APC too. I have made lots of ATC but never APC.

Have a wonderful day!
