Description:

This should be a cute and fun swap! You will have 3 partners and create 4 valentines per partner. That means you will make 12 all together. These valentines are meant to be used by your partner to pass on to others for Valentine's day which is why I am creating the swap now... so that you will have plenty of time to create and send the swap before actual Valentine's day card swaps begin to crop up. This is a senders choice swap so you can begin to create as soon as you hit the join button.
You are to create 12 valentines in your preferred style. No sticker slapping, please!! Make something that you, yourself, would love to receive. They should be no larger than 3X3.
Here is a little example.

Envelopes are NOT required, but feel free to create/send envies if you wish. (That could earn you a heart!)
Now when you have created all 12 valentines, divide them equally between your 3 partners so each has 4 valentines. Pack them securely so they get safely to their destination & don't forget to include a little note with the swap name and your swap-bot id so you can be rated promptly. This is a U.S. only swap, but if any of our international friends would like to create a similar swap, please, feel free. You must maintain a 4.98 rating with no unexplained/unresolved 1's or 3's and as always, I reserve the right to ban any user, at any time, for any reason and without explanation.
Please remember to send on time, securely & rate a 5 if your partner sends you 4 handmade valentines. Hearts are always at your discretion, but please, don't be stingy.
Here are my 4 designs as shown on my instagram

are the cards to be flat (one card like a PC) a bi-fold card or do they have to incorporate a treat?

I made mine similar to the classroom exchange type - flat & blank on the back for signing, no envelope. you can do bifold if you wish, as long as the closed dimension is no larger than 3X3. Ty for asking!

Do they have to come with a gift like the nerds example you are showing or like the examples from your instagram that all have an extra attached? Also, will you be hosting a swap for small Valentine's around Valentine's day? I feel like last year there were only one or two swaps that allowed for the "classroom" size ones and most of them required a full size card.

No little gift is required and yes I will be creating a swap for the "classroom" type valentines for us to exchange our creations. I do see that there is one swap up now, I think its called Old School Valentines, but I believe it calls for strictly store-bought.
