Since a few people want to do paste n passes, I will do some, but I'm taking a different approach. For this paste and pass, you will take a 7 x 5 sturdy piece of backing such as a cereal box or something of similar weight. You will do a background on it such as paint, glue down a few pieces of background paper, stamp, or the like. On the address side, put 5 spaces where the people who work on your card can add their name and a short note. In space number one, put your mailing address so the last person to add to your card knows where to send it home. Address it to your partner and send naked. Address it in such a way that the next person can easily cover their address with their partners. The second person will add a few elements such as some collage pieces, paint, ink, stamps, whatever they choose, keeping in mind to leave enough work to be done by future partners. Each partner will add their bits and mail it naked to the next person. This will continue in this manner for 5 rounds with the 5th person to add to the card mailing it home to the owner. I'm in a round of these in another group, and its going quite well, so I'm hoping to make this work here. I have done the other paste and passes where each person works on a section but I don't care for them much so if anyone would care to host one of those types, let me know and I will promote you to officer. This is international as with all swaps I host .. I hate to leave anyone out. Remember to take care when adding to someone's card.. Keep everything you add flat and safely secured to keep the card safe in transit. It will be in the postal system naked 5 times!! Lets have fun with this one! Edited title to add "no boundaries" to avoid confusion with sectioned paste n pass. |
