Number of swap partners:3
Description:

For this swap you will be using standard size playing cards ( for example bicycle brand). You will be altering the face of the cards, unless the cards have something of special interest to alter on the back. You will have 3 partners and make 3 cards for each partner for a total of 9 cards

I have seen many kinds of playing cards , for example, coke, harley davidson, character cards, ect. All mediums are welcomed, I will just ask that you be creative. I am leaving enough time for send date to help give time for imaginations at work! I have gotten good ideas from the book: let's play cards by leisure arts. their website is :www. leisurearts.com

ATC’s must be standard 3.5 x 2.5 size and fit into baseball card sleeve.

Please no copies, in other words send the original atc cards only.

This swap is international, so if you can’t send out the country, please don’t sign up for this swap.

I have a zero tolerance for no-senders (1’s). If you have only one 1, and have a “legitimate process going to fulfill your obligation, feel free to e-mail me. Also, if you don’t send to your partner from one of my swaps, you will be banned from all future swaps I host.

I am sorry if this offends anyone, but too many of us are not receiving the cards we are owed and some of this is because of repeat offenders (no senders), and I am trying to set up a safer environment to swap in by bettering people’s chances a little bit..

Let’s make art! Happy swapping everyone!

What a great idea! I have the book you reference and it is a wonderful inspiration! So many possibilities with this one!

just want to clarify, the playing card must go on an atc if the playing card isnt 3.5 x 2.5?

TwistersMom 03/ 8/2007 #

big sissy the playing card is the base for this swap. and you will use the face of the playing card to make art. If you have smaller playing cards, you can incorporate them onto the atc, but the atc base needs to be a standard size playing card.. I hope this answers your question.
