Playing Card Swap S/U 6/24-7/8 S/O 7/29

This swap is centered around playing cards and/or playing card motifs.

I had to kill time before a doctor’s appointment today and it was down the street from the dollar store. I stocked up :joy:

I went through my craft-area stash of playing cards and I have SO many. (Probably not as many as you do, @stitchandstones, since your Dollar Store purchases. But still a lot!) My local creative reuse store has loads of cool cards and SUPER cheap, so they are hard to resist.

I should logically sign up, just for stash-busting purposes, right? Plus, just looking at all those cards was pretty fun and inspiring. So the actual swap should be a blast! Off to start working on the questionnaire…

I opened a pack to play around while we wait for partner assignments and this was the “rules” card in the pack. I thought the group would get a kick out of it.

Btw, the first rule is also just plain wrong. I ripped the box opening from the top. I suspect conspiracy for the inferior cardboard package :eyes:

Who would want to make fake dollar-store playing cards?

I love that it is definitely a joke that did not land… fair warning, I am probably going to send my partner one just for fun :laughing:

Hysterical!

Initially I thought this was just for modified playing cards (as in an ATC made out of one), so I’m glad I checked to see all the possibilities! Though I can’t guarantee I won’t be making modified playing cards for my partner :joy: if that’s something they would want, obviously lol. I’m happy to experiment with other stuff!

Sending in my Q now.

I reallllly shouldn’t. I have a trip right before send outs. But I know this swap would push me creatively and I’ve only got the summerween swap on my dance list…so 90% chance I’ll sign up tonight.

I realized while I was filling out the Q that I actually need to take a brief swap break.

I think I have too much going on right now, but thanks for the ping.

Is it just me, or does that second sentence make no sense at all?

Thanks for the reminder. I am back to work part-time after retiring about 2 years ago. I’ve just lost my mojo for swapping. I’ll craft-along and watch the gallery.

Happy crafting everyone!

My earlier optimism was smashed to bits by work and the reminder of just how crazy things are at the moment. I’m going to have to bow out of this round. I’ll eagerly watch the gallery though.
