Description:

We all get those credit card offers, with a fake paper or plastic credit card in the envelope. Or you use up your gift card at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Or you came home with a magnetic room key from a hotel.. Right???

Well, let's use those little ATC sized (almost) plastics as the base for a swap. Take your used gift card, room key, fake credit card, and embellish, abuse, collage, doodle, whatever.

I know they are a little bit smaller than the official ATC size, but allow a bit of artistic license.

Let's make 1 of these for 1 partner. It's a new concept, so let's start off small.

Newbies welcome, International welcome. If you've got recent no-sends, contact me.

If you're willing to angel, let me know.

If this is fun, we can do it again, so save those blank plastics (or if you really don't have any, you can get one at Starbucks and just don't put any money on it!)

The only rules: It CANNOT be a real credit card. The gift card should have NO VALUE.

I've been collecting the ones that come in the mail with credit card offers for about a year now. I must have over 60 of them and I'm thinking of making a purse out of them!

What a great idea!!! Now, I won't think such awful things everytime I receive an unsolicited credit card!!

BeOriginal, Just be original! Take that fake card and mess with it. paste stuff on it, doodle over it, cover it with colorful collage stuff or a quote. THEN send it. that's all.

Cool, I've been collecting these too! Keep thinking I want to make some great costume piece out of them. This will be great!

I'm really excited, I love having the hard plastic base for a medium to build on. Also, how fun to have a piece of someone elses life (gift card, hotel card whatever) It would be neat if people include a fun note on where they got their card.
