Artisan ATC Calendar - Week #1 USA

This is a brand new type of ATC swap.. in the past, we have done ATC Ornaments... This swap is entirely new!

For this swap, we will be making 2 ATCs a week to combine all weeks,, and make an Advent Calendar. 🙂 Using a new deck of playing cards.

This is week #1.

Choose 2 complete suits of cards. Example: All hearts and All Diamonds. You will have 26 playing cards altogether. Please set cards aside that are not being used so you can use in the future swaps.

Make the first set of Winter/Christmas ATCs to be used as part of the Advent Calendar.

Ace: As with an altered playing card, Leave the "A" (edited 9/17/21) showing in a corner of the card, and decorate in a Winter/Christmas theme.

#2: On the #2 card, of the same suit, do the same... Leave the #2 showing in one of the corners of the card and decorate in a Winter/Christmas theme. Any medium is fine... NO sticker slapping!!

You may choose to decorate so they are an obvious pair, or decorate completely differently, use a theme from a Christmas song, or favorite well-known Holiday story. The choice is up to the creator.

On the back, Add your name, swap bot ID, Swap info, date.

Please wrap simply (tissue paper, wrapping paper, etc). And make sure to label the back of each little package with your name, swap bot ID, swap name, date...

ON THE OUTSIDE of your envie... Write your name, swap bot ID, Swap info - including week # - so that your partner can save until Dec. To open if they want to.
