Description:

2"x2" sections that you can make in advance.


International - you must have reliable mail service and can expect mail to arrive both sending and receiving within about 5 weeks.


To make a new twinchie postcard:

  • Cut postcard weight paper postcard size, size 4"x6"

  • Divide the front side of the PC into 6 equal 2-inch sections (see photo above), 2"x2".

  • Decorate section 1.

  • The postcard may eventually be mailed naked so securely adhere items to your section.

  • Turn the PC over, and address the postcard to yourself.

  • Note: Do not include postage just in case your postcard ends up mailed outside of Canada for another Pass & Paste swap.

  • Divide the rest of the back of the PC into 6 separate writing areas and label them the same as you did on the front 1-6 (see photo above). In section 1 you will write your username, and the name of the Pass & Paste swap you are doing, and anything else if there's room.

  • Mail the postcard, in an envelope, to your partner.


Established P&P Twinchie Postcard

  • If you are using a postcard you have received from another Pass & Paste Twinchie swap, decorate one of the empty sections and then put it in an envelope and send that PC forward in another P&P swap.

Finish

  • The goal is to have each space filled out by a different artist, and then sent home to the originator.

  • When you receive a postcard with only one empty square left, decorate it and mail it back naked or in a clear protective sleeve, to the original creator. Their name and mailing info should be on the card already. You will need to add the proper postage stamp. (Postage goes on the outside of a clear envelope.)

  • If you receive an unfinished Pass & Paste postcard please always send it on, even if you decide not to participate any longer. At the very least, send it back to the original creator. Or send it to me (P.O. Box 31013 Willowwest, Guelph, Ontario N1H 8K1 Canada) and I will forward it on. That way everyone should eventually get their postcard back.

  • If you are assigned the creator as a partner, do not send them their uncompleted postcard. Start a new PC.

  • If you get assigned a partner and they have already worked on that PC, then hold it and send it in the next round to a different partner or please send it to me. Start a new PC.

  • If the finished PC is particularly fragile, lumpy, or things not adhered well, or wet weather is an issue, go ahead and send in a plastic sleeve or envelope, though naked is preferred.
