SWAP OVERVIEW

This swap is to make a homemade Christmas card and send to your partner(s) with a note inside the card. You can write the note directly on the card. We will do this in the style of the 4x6 art swaps - make all your cards before signing up and then partners will be assigned. So cards will be Sender’s choice.

  • Make a Christmas card any medium and in any style that you choose.
  • This is for swappers of all abilities, but your artwork should be made with your best effort.
  • The crafting period and signup period for this swap are the same - 10/22 - 11/26.
  • Partner information will be sent to each participant on 11/27/2022.
  • You will have until the end of the day on 12/5/2022 to get your cards into the mail.
  • Since this is a paper swap, you must be willing to ship Internationally. For US participants, a global stamp is $1.70. You don’t have to use an actual global stamp, you can use domestic stamps that add up to $1.70
  • Tracking information for your envelope is not required, but if your card is lost in transit, you must agree to resend.

To participate, once your cards are complete, send a private message to organizer @geekgirl with the following information:

I have an idea what I want to make and tried some techniques. I hope I’m able to make the first sample this week.

Quick swap question, @geekgirl:
Is this one like the 4x6 swap where each card can be different? Or like the small batch swap where the cards should be similar or the same?

2 Likes

Great question! I didn’t think about it and planned similar cards.

I hope that’s ok.

You can do either. Some people keep them similar and do them assembly line style. But you certainly can make them all different if you want.

Ooh :smiling_cat_with_heart_eyes:I’m interested, and I reckon I can participate in card swaps without needing to worry about DPP and customs. Just might need to write a generic festive message in the card itself and explain to partners that yep, that’s my swap entry. Dang tarrifs and customs making sending in to the US hard.

Thanks for organising this one, Geekgirl. Assuming life gives me time to make, I’m in :smiling_cat_with_heart_eyes:
