Description:

In this swap we will be making (eventually) an entire standard deck of APC Playing Cards around the poetry (Famous Poet's works) theme. For this swap you need to have all 4 SEVENS: CLUB, DIAMOND, SPADE, and HEART from a STANDARD sized playing deck of cards (no skinnies, minatures, or jumbo sized cards). Size is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2." because they cannot be used as a deck of playing cards if they are not all the same size. No, you cannot make your own. They must be thick and flexable, and in the case of APCs, one corner of the card used must be left unembellished and clearly visable; which distinguishes them from ATCs.

On the FOUR SEVENS you will be free to put the likeness of a poet or a quote from one of his/her poems. Put the whole poem if you can fit it neatly, make certain it adheres to the rules of APCs and that it is a card you would be thrilled to receive. Not just a sticker or computer print out glued onto a card and no time taken. Please also no embellishments so thick it cannot fit into a card sleeve.

As to requirements. All entrants must have a 4.90 rating. No recent no sends or abundant 3's without a reasonable explanation. Also, you MUST RATE (as manners do matter), if I know or discover you to be a non-rater, you will not be allowed to participate. No newbies, sorry.

Remember I always angel my swaps, so if you receive a flaker, rate them appropriately and let me know and I will angel out to you right away. As we go along (some might join later or miss a swap). I will definitely have a couple MAKE-UP swaps at the end where those missing part of their decks can trade one another for what they are missing. If you join late or miss one, mail me so I can put you on a list and then remind you when I set up the make-up swaps. Let's be creative together! Let's have fun!

Do we HAVE to put the poet's picture/poem on the card? Or can we indicate him/her another way and decorate the card thematically to reflect the line of poetry we include?

One more question--am I doing four cards on one poet, or can they be four different poets/poems?

They can be either way! And you can use a snippet of a poem or an image.
