Description:

We are at an even dozen! If you have participated from the beginning, you should have quite a collection! If not, please join in! I know I have received some beautiful altered cards.

For this one: FREE THEME!

Please feel free to try something new you haven’t tried. Be creative.

Other requirements for altering as follows: You must use playing cards like poker or solitaire cards. Also, the ideal card should have some part of the front showing…even if it’s just a corner. It’s nice to see the number or suit showing.♥️♦️♠️♣️ My inspiration for this series came from the Full Deck Challenges on YouTube and Instagram which use playing cards rather than game cards. 🃏

This is not just stickers and a go. This altering requires different mixed mediums like gesso, ModgePodge or gel mediums, watercolors, paints, ephemera, textures, etc.

PLEASE READ - If you read through…I would like to do a jumbo playing card swap. Just wondering if you would have access to a jumbo card. Please comment if doable or not. I don’t like leaving swappers out because they don’t have access to supplies.

As always, thank you for joining my swap.

Thanks @stamparose Also, I joined a Facebook group where they have a theme rather than a method. Might try that too just to revive more interest in altering playing cards.

The above group is Create with Scrimpingmommy. Cards are altered in groups of four with some really cool altering being done. Check it out if you like! .

I'm game for jumbo playing cards also! I find them all the time at thrift stores.

I also been following Scrimpingmommy on YT for a few years now. She's terrific!

Thanks @MuggleMom I just subscribed to her YouTube channel. I enjoy her so much. I just got a pack of jumbo cards thrifting for 50 cents and they’re like new.

I do not have jumbo cards on hand for this swap, but would be open to do one in the future. I know where I can get some if needed.
