Look what I made #3 USA

If you have bee in this group for some time, you might remember that I host a swap for those who find time to be creative around a national Holiday.

The 4th of July is a Friday this year. If you find time to be creative over that weekend then this swap is for you.

The swap deadline is designed to allow you to sign up after the holiday or drop if you dont find time. This has a short Mailing time cause either you made something that weekend or you didnt.

You will have one partner and send that partner 2 different cards.

Despite this being a holiday, this is not a holiday themed swap. So please no holidays, nothing patriotic or religious or anything possibly offensive or scary in general, since you dont know who your partner will be yet.

Since this is a national USA holiday there will not be an international version.

I need to add the blah blah blah.

There are few guidelines. Atcs are 2.5 x 3.5 with a firm backing, not just a piece of paper. The backing should be firm such as a recycled note card, greeting card, chip board cut from a cereal box, a playing card, or baseball card. or layers of card stock.

The back of your card needs some kind of contact and identifying info. What you put there is your choice. I often use a mailing label, but I think I am out.

This is about being creative and artistic. So you need to use more than one technique on your card. Sticker slapping isnt just about stickers. It is more about slapping. So add something to the card . Examples, inks the edges, add embellishments, use a rubber stamp, and bling,

Mailing: Keep in mind if you have any bulk or bump you will need to add extra postage 21 cents. That is your artistic choice, but you need to cover the cost to mail such a beauty. Your cards need to be in some water proof protective sleeve or alternative. Tape them down to your note card to prevent them from dancing around in your envelope. Remember the tape goes on the protective sleeve not on the card.

It is ok to piggy back this swap with the stamp swap, but please make sure if you join both swaps, and you get the same partner that you dont send them the same cards. I will be assigning partners for the swaps on the same day so you will know who you have all at the same time.
