APC as defined by swap-bot

APC – 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. The only other rule in making APCs is that you must leave one of the corner numbers and suit visible. We are leaving the top left visible.

Your card must have at least one real canceled Postage stamp from any country. The rest of the theme is up to you; with the exception of No Holiday, patriotic, political.

Any card, any suit

Make sure you are using the correct sized playing cards, Bridge cards are smaller than Poker cards. Measure!

Often the back of playing cards are too slippery to write on. Please use a sticker, sticker label of piece of paper to add some kind of contact/ artist identification.

Do make sure you have somewhere, the name of the swap. On the envelope, or a note inside or even on the back of the card. I wont do the back of the card, but it is an option.

Please do more than glue a postage stamp on some paper. Add something, bling, flowers, fibers, ink. etc

To make the postage worth our time please Send 2 APCs to ONE partners.

I will angel this swap after you have contacted your partner twice and have rated that person with a 1.

TIP: Use an emory board or sand paper to rough up the playing card before adhering a background. Avoid the one exposed corner, unless it is for artistic effect.

I seemed, that on my computer, I had only saved Holiday APC's that I made in an art-a-thon over on atcsforall.com

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY HOLIDAY APCS, despite my example. Not everyone celebrates all holidays.
