Swap Details
This swap is for all skill levels!
We will be swapping
- Three masterboards
- And one small item made with at least one masterboard element
Masterboards should be a minimum of 5 1/2" squared. The small item can be an ATC, altered tag, greeting card, postcard, etc. A “small” can be measured by time (2 or less hours), by physical size (Earrings, stickers, wallets, pouches, bookmarks), or by price ($10 or less)
Shipping
Shipping should be low cost for this swap. Please check the weight and/or take it to a post office to be sure it has enough postage. Tracking numbers will not be required for this swap but you should be willing to resend if something goes missing. If you do get a tracking number please share it with @geekgirl and your swap partner. You will not have to resend if you have a tracking number. If you want to ensure you get a tracking number you can use a padded envelope or pad the inside to make the package eligible for tracking.
International shipping from the US:
as long as you keep your envelope 6"x9" or smaller, flat, and flexible (this is very important) and 1 oz or smaller, you can send for 1 global stamp ($1.30) or use non-global stamps adding up to $1.30. you can send 3 oz for 2 global stamps. If it is NOT flat and flexible you are looking at about $18 to send it as a package internationally.
