This swap had a good response, so I am up for making it a regular and repeating swap if the interest continues. Thanks all for your feedback! I often tear out pages from magazines that have a neat design, catchy ad or phrases, would make a great background for a paper card, have a stunning pattern or color palate, or would make a neat homemade envelope. My intention is to reuse the page for a piece of mail art, or the like. For this swap, you will make 2 handmade postcards that are crafted from a page from a magazine. The postcards should not be a collage, but a full page from a magazine that is trimmed down to the standard postcard size, about 4" x 6". Both postcards do not have to be made from pages taken out of the same magazine. You may embellish your postcard if you like, as long as it is still machinable and does not coverup the image or design from the magazine page. Please be sure to make your postcard sturdy with cardstock, a grocery box, paperboard, or something similar. You will send 1 handmade postcard to each of 2 swap partners. Your postcard will be stamped and sent "naked" (which means NOT in an envelope. Please include a small note to make the postcard exchange a little more personable. Include the name of the publication from which you tore out the page, your swap use name, and this swap's title. This particular swap is a friendly postcard theme, not for adult-themed topics, photographs, ads, or art. (*If anyone is interested in me creating another one for adult related topics, let me know.) New swappers are welcomed with a well-filled out profile. Other swappers with recent bad ratings will be banned from the swap. I will review absolutely all profiles before assigning partners. I have the right to exclude anyone that I feel will be unable to fulfill this swap's requirements. Feel free to message me with any questions. And, thanks for joining! |
