Description:
This swap is currently being hosted for US only and I really thought it would be FUN to do one international:) In this swap you will create one Homemade PC that is sticker slapped all over. Use all those loose stickers you have around, your PC needs to be covered in all different types of stickers don't just put one sticker on and call it done it need to have at least 15 stickers try to put more on just go for it. Make sure the stickers are stuck down properly and won't unstick during transit if unsure use fixatives, finishing mediums, or clear adhesive film. Rules 4.95 or higher rating No ones or threes in the last 6 months Minimum Size 4x6 but feel free to do larger. Needs to have a thick backing so it can take a little bit of a beating in the mail. Posted naked with a quote or note on the back and don't forget to include the swap and your swap ID. I check everyone's profile before assigning partners.

Sounds like fun !! â˜ºï¸ðŸ˜ƒðŸ‘ The only thing I'm worried is that will posting naked spoil the postcard ?? Coz its sticker slapping.. Won't it be safer in an envelope ?? :) still I understand it's your swap and you could carry it the way you want ðŸ˜ŠðŸ‘

@Sallyo I hope you don't mind me answering, but I have hosted this swap many times in my group (always internationally) and we send it "naked" every time. There are several ways to prevent the mail machines from eating it:

Laminating (I have a laminating machine so this is what I do)
Clear Packing Tape (Most people do this, the card still looks awesome and arrives in perfect condition)
Mod-Podge (A lot of people choose this method...it looks great, but I am impatient and don't like the drying time)

Be sure on any of these methods that you put the postge on AFTER you finish. I hope this helps y'all. Have fun...Sticker Slapping Slaps are awesome! :)

@Paige1900 wonderful !!! Thank you so ,ugh for the tips :)) I guess lamination too will work great for me :) I'll laminate the postcard ðŸ˜ƒâ˜ºï¸

One way to do these is to use an actual postcard as backing and completely cover the front. I have several "ugly" postcards that I'd probably never send otherwise.

All GREAT ideas everyone:) Also, if you are unsure, feel free to send it in an envelope if you wish.

This is awesome! I can't wait. Would it be ok to send all different Halloween themed stickers? I have tons of different Halloween themed ones as I've been working on other Halloween swaps. Do you plan on hosting more or doing themed ones? I would love to participate in more! :)

Sounds great SheWolf! I will leave this one open to sender's choice and set up a themed one next:)
