Description:
Open to Newbies, this is an International Swap. What IS a "Swap Card"? Whenever you send out a swap, of items that a you have created, or picked out, it is very nice to include a little "card" with YOUR name, swapping ID, the date you mailed it, the name of the swap, on it. I've gotten swaps and had NO idea who had sent it! SO...you will be making swap cards for THEM! Technique does not matter, but there must be enough room on it, for them to fill it out, and send it then, with their future swaps. Since you will know your partner's swap name, possibly their real name, you can fill that info out on the card already, or leave it blank. These are so much fun, and they even set an example to any swappers who usually do not include any information with their swaps. DETAILS: you will have TWO partners, and will make 5 cards, for each one of them. (Yep, that's 10 cards total) Be sure to have space on the cards for the above info: their name, and their swapping name, the name of the swap, and the date mailed. This is an international swap, so please do NOT make them heavy. Also, please make one extra card for yourself, and include it with the cards you send! Have some FUN! With these, and make them adorable and cute -(well, maybe the adorable part is questionable, but please make them CUTE!) If you have any questions, please just ask, or message me.

I'm super be to swapping and have never seen one of these. Is there a photo somewhere that I could see as an example?

@AdelaideQuinn Just cut some cardstock to about the size of a normal business card and embellish it in some way. Maybe draw a picture on it, or a stamped image, or put ribbon across the top or something.

The idea is that the person it is for, will use it to fill out his/here username and which swap it is. So, with the one you make for yourself, you would put on it your username and the name of this swap. That way your partner knows who this swap has come from and which swap it was for. So that they can rate you.

Hope this helps. Happy swapping. â™¥

I posted the pic, tried several times...not sure why it's always upside down! Sorry!

here's one I've used in the past, it's standard business card size, so it prints 10 to a page!

Thanks, Kim, that's beautiful! (And right side UP! Heehee!)

Great idea! Can I assume is ok to design a card in the computer and print out a nice set of cards designed by me for my partner? I have graphic design background.

gramsbuttonbox 07/ 7/2015 #

Yes, that would be wonderful! And what a nice pet to have, my friend! Heehee

Partners will be assigned the day after the signup ends, July 26. Please be sure to get them sent on time, my friends, I hope you had FUN with this!

Partners will be assigned soon. One of the people who've signed up, is a newbie, who has not been online in a week. Her profile consists of one short sentence.

I've written to her, but she has not read my note.

Most of my swaps are newbie-friendly, with only one rule: a complete profile.

I will keep an eye on it, but if she does not respond or add more to her profile, I will have to drop her.

Packets of swap cards were mailed out to my partners today. Enjoy!

My swaps are making their way to the UK, and Colton, CA, today!

I hope you like them!

Darnit.....wish I hadn't missed this one. I always send a note card with my swaps, but I have seen a few of this in swaps I've received. I love the idea. Maybe I'll try and make some anyway. :)
