Description:
This kind of notecard swap generally creates a lot of interest. (Read the NEW description). Take a larger than normal notecard you really, really like and cut off the blank message side. Size: at least 4 x 6 inches, 10 x 15 cm or larger . Careful to keep within the measurements your country allows for regular mail -- we don't want you paying more $ for a larger than usual card -- heaven forbid the postal worker has to use their hands!!!) ) Make the image/picture part into a mail-able postcard. some of us have the rubber stamp that makes it look like a postcard, but no worries if you don't; simply draw a line down the middle and create an address side and a message side. write a message to your partner about JULY and decorate it your way to give it some personality! ~ coloured pens, a well-chosen sticker or two, washi-tape pop it naked and stamped into the postbox All welcome -- any questions? Please PM me or enter it below and I will reply. HAVE FUN with this swap!

Where do you buy rubber stamps to make it look like a postcard? I never heard of such a thing (me in my little world!)

Actually, the craft store "Michael's" has them in the rubber stamp section.

You can also get them on e-bay and on amazon! :)

I've often thought about doing this but didn't know if it would be a "legitimate" postcard. Thanks for the swap!
