CPG-N: Creative (Post)Card Challenge - US

Sometimes, we just want to craft! Let’s bring back a bit of creativity into our postcard swaps and revel in the handmade, the hand-decorated, and all such things!

For this swap, handmade cards are completely all right! Whether they are made entirely from scratch or commercially printed using your own designs, please make something that will:

• hold up in the mail (sturdy cardstock!)

• look nice (I know this is subjective, but something you’d like to receive! ^^)

Washi, paint, photography, collage… All mediums and forms of art are welcome, as long as they can work on a postcard and don’t make it unmailable.

Please write something on your card as well! A blank card is no fun~ And don’t forget your username and the swap name!

Cards should be sent naked: stamped and not in an envelope.

Cards will be sender’s choice, but if you can craft/choose something that your partner might like, that would be lovely! Please do check their profile to avoid sending anything that would offend them.

Please rate your partner a 5 if you receive a postcard that looks like some effort was put into it. Please don’t rate down only because you don’t like the card. And above all, please rate! Rating is half the fun, and people love to hear what others think of their mail.

This swap is US ONLY. Please check the list of CPG-N swaps for the Global version, if you’d like to join that one! (If you’re in the US, you’re welcome to join both swaps!)

Since we all know how the post can be, please allow a few weeks for your letters to arrive, even though SwapBot only gives us two. Before rating a 1, do check in with your partner and allow them to resend. Communication is key! :)

I am happy to angel if necessary! Just keep me in the loop and let me know what’s going on~

If you have any questions, please PM me!

Happy crafting!
