make and send 3 greeting cards to 1 partner. The design of the cards will be up to the sender, . Keep in mind that your partner may want to send one of cards to family or friends, or maybe even along with a swap. So because of this you dont want to put your contact info on the card like an atc, You could sign your name and date along the back edge. more of this at bottom You need to include the envies you can make the envies of they can be from a card making kit that you buy. the cards should be a normal greeting card sized, not too small!!! any media is fine, stamped, collaged, diecut, make cards that you will be happy to share and then have your partner share Please make your cards so that they can be used for most any occassion so don't make anything for a spacific holiday. If you have any questions just drop me a PM, I'm thinking my rules seem kinda muddled. so 3 handcrafted greeting cards for 1 partner with envelopes

P.S. if you belong to the card kit of the month club It is OK to use that to make your cards, as long as you don't make all 3 cards with the same kit.

If you don't know about this club, please check out anniesattic.com and It's $20 a month to get a kit in the mail (love it!!!)

I hope you run this one again in the fall. I will be away for the first half of August so no time to make and send, especially cause I try to make profile related. :-(

in the fall would be a great time to have one for holiday cards!

ENVIES: you can make them or they can be from a kit, just as long as you send the envies that fit the cards. I'm not making envelopes, I'm sending premade ones. I can't make an envelope that looks decent!

Hi Candyn29, I was the same as you concerning envies but I found this wedsite which has all different types of envies and they are so easy to make.If you save the pic of envie you want you can then copy and paste to word doc and print. I then pasted to heavy card and use as template by drawing around the template. I put together with doublesided tape but if you find that too hard just PM me and can send you one I have printed to use. Here is website I used www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/templates.htm

Good luck

This goes for anyone else who may want an envie pattern. I use it for an A5 folded card

I'd like to add, please no religious items as well as holiday stated above. Maybe, there's a slight difference, but I would appreciate my partner respecting this small request. :) MANY thanks!!!

Im just sending generalized cards, no religious or holiday, we will do that later.

I have every template when it comes to envies, I just dont like to make them.

Im so happy to have so much interest in this swap. I make cards all the time, between my sizzix, cricut, stamps and kits but do not have any family to share them with and I never get around to going to the christmas bazaars.
