Full Deck APCs #49 & 50 (10 & J of Diamonds)

Reminder: Shana isn't using the cards we're using; I've made lists showing what she uses and what we're using, in the comments below. Hint: I've printed them out and have them on the wall beside me, too!

We're working on cards #40 & 50 - the 10 & J of Diamonds.

We're following ShanoukiArt's YouTube videos to make the cards; she's made TWO full decks and we'll take our pick as to which two we want to follow from the Full Deck Challenge #1 or #2.

For the 10 of Diamonds:

Full Deck Challenge 1

It was fun to watch Shana work her way through challenge 2; she ended up making a flat card, which is what we want. What we don't want is to cut the actual card into a butterfly shape - if I use this challenge, I'll use the actual 10 of diamonds for the background and use some card stock for the "bigger" butterfly behind the image (if you even need that part - the image could be enough). The tag is optional.

Full Deck Challenge 2

For the J of Diamonds:

Full Deck Challenge 1

The Challenge 2 asks you to use the J AND the Q. We won't do this; this card won't lay flat anyway so, if you don't want to make the first one, please make this one senders choice.

Full Deck Challenge 2

Whether ShanoukiArt does this or not in her videos:

The most IMPORTANT RULE for APCs is to have one corner showing both the number AND the suit - doesn’t matter which corner. This is NOT optional; they don't have to be bare, just need to be seen.

Your playing card must be Poker sized (3.5 x 2.5 inches). No need to copy her video exactly - make it your own, but emulate her style and the effect she's going for, as much as you can. Let your partner know which challenge you picked to do.

DO NOT put a hole in the corner of the card - let your partner decide where, or if, she wants arip it in half.hole in it. If you want to make things hang over the edges, please check that your partner doesn't mind. If not using a binder clip to save them, most people like to put them into the clear playing card holders.

It's up to you if you want to use a whole deck, or just the cards you have on hand (just join those ones in that case). But, for those of us who want to end up with a full deck, you MUST use the cards that are being represented in the swap you join.

This month is using the 10 and J of Diamonds, so everybody will send and get those cards.
