Description:
One of my first swaps I did on swap bot was a playing card swap. I think it's time for another one, because I have discovered that I have a HUGE box of playing cards, and many have very interesting backs etc, The twist is this: I just bought a bunch of cards at a dollar store in various themes. They aren't playing cards with kings and queen and the like, but things like tv trivia, re-kindling romance for dummies, etc etc. It is not a requirement that you have some non playing cards, but if you can get some it would be fun. You can just use any neat cards that you may already have on hand. Usually these cards are used for ATC backs, but they can also be used in altered books etc... if you are planning to use them on ATCs and they are not quite the correct size, such as a bit smaller, you can always mount them on another ATC back that is the right size! Since this a fairly easy swap, i am going to give it a fairly quick turn around time... but I'll make the sign up date for mid March and the mailout date for early April, for those of us who have multiple swaps going. Does that sound good? This should be fun and interesting! It is an INTERNATIONAL swap, and newbies are welcome, it'll be an easy way to get some ratings! let's have 3 partners each, and send at least 5 cards to each partner. If you want to send more, you can, but the requirement is only 5 cards per partner.

Cool idea - I too have a ton of decks and misc playing cards ... Most of mine are probably suited playing cards but I'll rummage through and see what-all else I might have.

I'll gladly take any size/shape/type - doesn't have to be ATC sized at all since I used them in collage and other altered art stuff.

Sounds like a fun swap -- I am really bad about collecting cards and then not wanting to use them because they look so cool:-) lol

Scrappinaddict28, sounds like you and me suffer with the same illness! I'll part with mine if you will with yours!

I made a big bunch of ATCs using altered playing cards:) I also use the backs of cards for collage. I would love to get some new and different ones. I agree, it is hard to use or trade really cool ones:) I have US stamps to send as well to help with postage if I get partners who live in the US.

I just found some interesting playing cards at the local thrift stores. I can't wait to share them, and to see what others have in their collections.

sorry, I forgot to assign partners... thank goodness swap bot does it when the host forgets! Just for forgetting, I am going to send at least 1, maybe more extra cards to everyone. I just realized that I have wayyyyy too many cards! LOL susi

Got some great cards on Saturday, unfortunately, the envelope got tossed among mail confusion and I can't give proper credit yet (I will have it figured out when it's time to rate) Anyway if you sent me a great assortment with Cracker Jack, hibiscus, paddleboat, dalmations and Survivor, just to name a few...thank you. I really like them and you were very generous. PLEASE forgive my carelessness, it's certainly no reflection of my attitude toward your great swap.

Stephanie Quintal I got your cards in todays mail wanted to e-mail you privately but didn't have an AKA and couldn't put a match with name so I hope you read this -- I try to let everyone know when I get things, I know I like to know:-)I liked my cards loved the sesame street domino:-)

DDMaree, received all your cards today and they are awesome! I love the quote cards, how unique, flip flops, surfboards, oh and my initials...heck I love them all. Thank you, you obviously put some thought into it. Can't wait to do something fun!

Susi, got your cards today! Awesome and very generous (20 cards!!!). I really like the giant card and the casino cards. The trivia was fun as were the "for dummies"

I thought this was a great swap, everyone was so generous and put together really nice packages. Thanks again all!
