So, we don't actually stitch on the card? Just draw the pattern?

Sorry, just noticed the link...Yes...we do actually x-stitch the card. Sounds like fun! I'm in!

Sorry for the confusion. I changed the word 'make' into the word 'stitch'.

Thank you, @taeniura !

Two things, can we use a handmade pc and add the stich to it and does it have to be a pattern of something or can it be just stitching?

Well, the example was a storebought postcard, but a handmade postcard will be fine too. I didn't want to make the swap too time-intensive, but if you want to be creative, go ahead :-)

What exactly do you mean with 'just stitching'? Let it be at least 'just cross stitching'. This is a cross stitch swap. But making your own pattern is allowed too.

There was a question if the card must be old. Well no, that is not required. It can be a new card too.
