Description:

For this swap, you will send your partner four APCs - the Jack of ♥, ♦, ♣, & ♠. And yes, they should have a Doctor Who theme. Anything and everything Whovian is welcome! :)

Please use standard poker-sized playing cards. These are the same size as ATCs - 2.5" by 3.5". (I found mine at the dollar store!) Since they are coated, you should probably lightly sand the surface to allow adhesives to stick well. (I don't sand over the suits on the corners since they aren't covered, but I sand the rest to get rid of the coating.)

If you cannot get your hands on full-size cards - for example, bridge cards are the same height, but a good quarter inch too narrow - you can mount your cards to a properly-sized ATC blank and go from there!

Be sure to leave at least one of the two suit corners uncovered.

Medium is up to you. Have fun with the process, but PLEASE send something that you're proud to sign your name to and would love to receive! (No sticker-slapping! If you're going to use stickers, they should not be the main element and should be used tastefully, please.)

Be sure to include your info on the back of the card. (Your name, swap-bot username, name of the card if there is one, date, etc. I put my location too, but that bit is optional - I think it's neat to flip through your collection and see how far some of your cards have traveled to get to you!) And of course, don't forget to rate your partner!

I -will- be checking profiles before partners are assigned, and I -will- ban if need be. NO unexplained ones or threes. NO overdue swaps on your dashboard. If you're not going to follow through, then leave now, please - we're all here to have fun!

Any questions or concerns, please do PM me. ♥

Part of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Swap Series #48!

I can't tell you what I am thinking right now - Jacks!

Before I sign up, I want to make sure I understand that an APC is just an altered playing card? Like an ATC but with the playing card as the backing/starting point?

@crz4drwho - That is correct. It should be the same size as an ATC. There is one small difference, in that you should leave the card number/letter and suit showing in one corner. So these should have the J and the suit showing. Hope this helps. You can see my Aces for this series on my Flickr if you'd like. :)
