Description:
Hi! Julie asked me to try contribute an altered swap and, well, I could not think of anything for a while then I thought of altered playing cards. Now going to give you 2 choices here you can: * join them together running down as wall deco or * join together as a little book. As cards are rather flimsy so we will do a double or triple card making sure the suit of card is still visible.Other than that, have fun! We will play with 4 cards no less, but is up to you if you use more. I just think that four cards by time you double them and decorate them be enough for letter sized envelope So as you wish with card in either wall deco or booklet as long as part or all of one suit can be seen on one of your cards either back or front your choice Does not necessarily have to be last page. Just appear somewhere. It's a sender's choice but would be nice to find out if partner has a particular color but not essential, just an idea. Open to all with a reasonable profile. So let's get swapping.

Fun swap! I think I'll make mine like an accordion book and make some collage alterations on the pages. Great idea, CraftyCol!

so are we altering the whole pack, or how many? i think i would like to did this swap as my boyfriend is a card magician, so we have plenty of cards lying around, and i want to do one of these for him so this will give me inspiration, when i did it for him though i was planning on drilling holes in the cards and binding them together

I also wasn't sure just how many playing cards we're meant to alter.

Hi girls sorry been slack just I'm so dawn sick but was told was some ?'s pending and so thought would come try answer them. Well I see main ? how many well to put in letter envie we best start with a small amount so say an even mumber 4 i feel by time you double or triple each card and decorate be big enoiugh. Lets put it at 4 cards set number but if you want to do more is cool.

If does ok next time we may make a card diary and have to do 2 cards at a time to we build it ourselfs to a diary or journal so please if interested please message me y ideas. I reacon be fun.

diem i think your boyfriend would love this type of gift. Hope this swap inspires you. i will check back in a day or 2 when i hope am feeling better

Now I'm told you need me to clarify how many suits need to be showing. PART OR ALL OF ONE CARD SUIT ONLY On front or back of one card your choice the rest is yours to decorate to your choice. Do hope this will help you all.
