  • If any of you are wanting to do a entire deck, over the next few months, put a comment in the comment section and we will get it started.. This is just something I want to try my hand at to see what it is like--

    Hi there fellow Queens!! I was challenged to do this swap for the group,so I am doing it. (HUGE grin @RyeRye

    I have NEVER done these before but here goes.. APC- Altered Playing Card

What you do- Alter a Playing card in any way you want it. The only rule to this is to leave the suit and number open.

Check here for ideas..

Make 1 card for 1 partner....Anyone of the cards that you want..No certain one--

Senders choice---

No recent 1's or 3's (last 6 months)

Newbies welcome.

If you Flake, SHAME ON YOU. But we are Queens, and Queens don't flake.WE RULE..

No junk. Send something you would like to receive

Open to International Swappers as well.. This will be a cheap postage swap- I bet one stamp will do..

Any questions feel free to ask

I am interested in doing a whole deck, maybe doing 2 or 3 per swap to cut down on postage... just my opinion as you can easily post 3 ATC/APCs for the price of one :)

mizvicky 09/ 3/2010 #

Great idea neca84... When this is over, I will certainly start hosting these... THANK you for your input!! I aooreciate it...

sweetypiedie 09/ 3/2010 #

I like @neca84 's idea too. I would say you could definitely do 3 per swap. I've been wanting to try these too but not wanted to do the whole deck straight away. Thanks for hosting @mizvicky :)

mizvicky 09/ 3/2010 #

thank you Ladies for joining and for you input.. will def do the 3 per swap!!

RyeRye 09/ 7/2010 #

oh yes please whole deck~

rayfancy 09/ 8/2010 #

A whole Deck would be great. I was actually running a whole deck in my group, and we were able to get away with 4 cards per envie for 1 stamp. ^^

rayfancy 09/ 8/2010 #

Also, you just need to leave ONE corner with the number and suit visible. We had alot of fun with the ones that we made last time, and it was with a theme. If we wanted to do some more of these swaps, we can work with themes too! ^^

sweetypiedie 09/ 8/2010 #

I was thinking that if we do 4 cards at a time we could do one of each number - like the 3 of spades, 3 of hearts, 3 of clubs and 3 of diamonds. I take it that they aren't supposed to be 'chunky' are they? So you could conceivably use them as a deck of cards.

mizvicky 09/ 9/2010 #

hey Ladies.. You can make these any way you want to. Chunky,flat whatever..

After this one, I am going to run a Swap for the whole deck, doing 4 at a time..

This may be an odd swap with JUST this one card,but I wanted to get a "feel" for it..

I know some have dropped out of this swap because they are waiting for the one for the entire deck and did not have just ONE random card to part with..

If you would rather wait for the next swap, PM me and I wil understand..

If the majority of you want the other swap, I will delete this one and post the new one.. Will NOT hurt my feelings..

rayfancy 09/10/2010 #

@sweetypiedie Yes, thats how I did them in my group, we did one number every swap. But normally APCs are kept and cared for as works of art, not normally played with.

@mizvicky : I wouldn't mind doing this swap as well as the whole deck. I do have some odd and end playing cards around my house. But like you said, if the majority of the swappers drop, lemme know and I will wait for the whole deck ones to start! ^^

mizvicky 09/10/2010 #

think I will keep this one up.JUST because I am wanting to "play" before I do a deck..ya know?? LOL

sweetypiedie 09/12/2010 #

@rayfancy - oh I know what you mean. I would never really want to play with them. I might frame them though, once I got a whole deck. Do people usually just alter the number/suit side or the back as well? Would be hard to frame if one pretty side wasn't showing. :)

@mizvicky - I'm definitely wanting to 'play' before we start the regular swaps too.

Partners have been assigned

rayfancy 09/12/2010 #

Normally people only decorate the front of them. The back is where you are to put the "Made by_____" to sign your work. ^^
