Description:

For this swap you will have two partners. You will be creating a single ATC for each of them. The trading card will need to meet two requirements: It must be mail themed and also have an interactive component (pocket with something inside, spinner, pop-up, etc).

For example: you could include a tiny envelope with a small letter or stamp inside. Another idea may be to create a file folder filled with mail themed ephemera as I have in the picture above. Perhaps you want to create an actual mailbox on your card with some happy mail inside. Use your creative juices to create something unique for your partner to play with.

Even thought this is a group swap, I will still be checking for good ratings (no unexplained 1's or 3's,) recent login and a well filled out profile. I fully expect this will not be an issue as this is a well established and moderated group!

Fairly quick turnaround as this is senders choice, so you can begin your creative process now.

Any questions or ideas you want to share on this topic feel free to post below. I am currently hosting a public version of this swap and I am proud to say that it made it to the top ten list! :) So please sign up for this innovative mail themed ATC swap if you are so inclined! Several other pictures of Interactive cards can be seen on my Flickr.

Happy Crafting!
