I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN FROM THURSDAY OCTOBER 9, 2025 TILL MONDAY OCTOBER 13, 2025. IF YOU NEED MY ADDRESS, PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO MRUBYJEAN. THANK YOU!!!
IF MAILING INTERNATIONALLY, IT IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER YOUR CARDS WILL MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE IN AMERICA. SIGN UP AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE CURRENT EVENTS WITH TARIFFS AND THE POSTAL SYSTEM IS FRUSTRATING FOR EVERYONE. I HOPE THIS GETS SORTED OUT QUICKLY. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.
November 2025 Prompts:
1. The color orange (something orange must be visible somewhere on each card)
2. Zig Zags! You know, up down up down on a diagonal :-)
3. Something from your mailbox. This can be the inside of a security envelope, part of junk mail, a used stamp, anything that came from a piece of mail or package.
***All 3 prompts should be on all of your cards. All of your cards should display all 3 prompts. You may add whatever else you want, but must include all 3 prompts. ***
The subject matter is up to you :-)
*No religious or political ATCs. Please and thank you.
Requirements/Guidelines:
- 3 different ATCs, MADE WITH LOVE by you. (can be very similar to each other) Please make sure to send cards that you would be happy to receive. Art is very subjective, but your cards should not look like a child has made them.
- You must sign up by leaving a comment here in this thread telling me that you would like to sign up. Please do not ask to sign up through a private message. Thank you.
Each ATC should be in their own plastic sleeve. If you do not have plastic sleeves or are unsure about what type of plastic sleeves are appropriate please send me a private message. We will work it out :-)
- On the back of your ATCs neatly print : Your real name, USER NAME, swap name, your location, date you made the card. (and any other info you wish to include)
- Please, no plain white backgrounds.
- No childrens stickers, and let's try to limit the amount of stickers we use.
- NO BULKY OR HEAVY EMBELLISHMENTS, THIS INCLUDES METAL. NO METAL. ATCs with bulky/heavy embellishments or metal just do not mail well. They usually arrive damaged and/or the envelope it came in is damaged. Sometimes it's ripped so much that the cards are almost falling out. So please, NO BULKY EMBELLISHMENTS. Bulky is anything thicker than a coin. This helps everyone, including the postal workers. Thank you for reading this.
- 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" firm card, not flimsy paper. At least as thick as a baseball card.
- ATCs only, no APCs
- A host card is always very much appreciated, but never required.
Mailing/Postage
***PLEASE MAIL YOUR CARDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE MAIL IS RIDICULOUSLY SLOW to saw the least… Be prepared for your ATCs to arrive a bit later than expected. If mailing internationally, mail at your own risk. I am sorry.
And please put tape on your envelope. A lot of mail has been getting to me torn up. Please protect your artwork by using tape.
I WILL PROVIDE RETURN ENVELOPES FOR EVERYONE, PLEASE DO NOT SEND AN ENVELOPE.
*Please include a LARGE, neatly printed label of your address
*PM me for my address. If you have my "807" address, it is still correct.
*Remember, clearly labeled envelopes arrive faster than embellished envelopes.
U.S Players: Please send one or two forever stamps.
International Players: Please send one global forever stamp, or a well concealed $1 bill (USD) If you do not have access to either of these, please PM me. We will work it out :-)
Feedback/Reputation:
Feedback will be given to each player when their cards are received by me.
*Please be kind and leave feedback for me (the host) when you receive your returns. And thank the artists who's cards you receive by leaving a short note in "Reputation" in the swap thread.
Feel free to ask any questions here in this thread or by private message. There is no such thing as a stupid question. :-) I check my private messages daily. I check this swap every few days.
***HAVE YOU READ EVERY WORD OF THIS SWAP? IVE HAD A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE NOT READING THE GUIDELINES. THANK YOU!!!
