Description:

I missed out on the get the whole deck of cards last time around so I am starting this one for those others who did too.

The rules are each month we will be making 4 APCs which are just like ATCs except you use a real deck of cards and alter the playing card but at the same time the number and the suit of the card must remain visible you may use any theme you wish.

each monthly swap will be 4 cards of the same number ie: we will start with 2's so you use the 2 of hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades.

Any questions please pm me

I'm quite looking forward to this swap (will be my 1st one with the group and 1st time doing this) a couple of websites suggested lightly sanding the cards (sandpaper) to help get rid of some of the plastic coating....thought it'd be worth sharing the tip!

This sounds very interesting. I guess sanding them would be very helpful. Do you seal them with anything after you've completed?

Awesome!! I bought a deck just for this then stuff happened and I couldn't do it. Thanks for hosting!!

Good tip @kittenred

@LynnViolet - it's entirely up to you. These are made as mini works of art, not really for playing with afterwards so sealing is not usually necessary so long as you use a good adhesive.

thanks Di for answering those comments,,,, yeah what she said :)

I started work on mine, and quite like them as they are, but are probably still too plain....do you need to cover all of the white or can you keep it plain and simple?

I was in an APC swap, but the deck was not finished. I am glad to see that you are interested in completing the whole deck. I look forward to swapping with with all of you. See ya at the mail box!
