Hey y'all how ya doing? It's been awhile since I've done a swap and I'm gonna come out with a bang with this one! I did it before about some years back and it ended successfully and rather fun!

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Welcome to the Red, White, and Blue swap!

The United States is going to be celebrating her 250th semiquincentennial on the 4th of July, (Lord! That's a mouth full!) So, let's show our country some pride! (Non-boastful of course!) So, ladies and gentlemen, here's what I what y'all to do:

In this swap you are to be creating cards by using ONLY the colors Red, White, and Blue! You can use different shades of red or blue but as long as it stays in the category. You can use black but very little. Y'all can do anything you want, anyhow or any possible ways! Be creative โœจ๏ธ

If you know how y'all, you can even create the transparent kind of cards too! It's up to you! As long as you use only Red, White, and Blue!

โ€œBut Wolfie! I'm not from the United States and I'd like to do this swap!โ€

That's ok, baby! You can too! If your country is like the following:

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ท

(There's probably others, but I obviously didn't see it, LOL). You can join the fun too. You can show me your country's pride (non-boastful of course! Cus, no one ain't better then anyone else! ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

**********

Mailing-

Please provide a SASE (Self address, stamped envelope). If you have the Hamler Ohio address that has not changed and it is the same.

US players send one of 2 forever stamps.
*International players, send an US Global stamp. Your post offices should have these! If you cannot for some reason find these, connect me and I'll figure it out from here.

*For envelope travel, either slightly overlap your cards and put washi or painters tape across them, front and back. Taping the back flap is also helpful or tape the envelope sides also prevent this as well.

* Each ATC needs its own plastic sleeve.
* You can make your card anyway you want it but make sure that your card is considered a card. If your card is floppy, back it with heavy cardstock or light cardboard. If you create a transparent shaker card (which would be kind of cool by the way) make sure at least the edges are sturdy enough or you used something like acetate.
* Host cards ain't necessary but they'll be cherished just the same.

Make sure you make your cards and send them as early as you can because for the past month or so the mail has been really (and I mean) really slow and because of it you don't want to be late.

Also make sure that your cards come to my mailbox. Y'all live in the boonies and I can't always head to town!

I'm wondering, too, what is the transparent kind of card??

I'm happy to learn, please sign me up!
 
Ok, transparent cards were usually cards made with either acetate or clear transparent tape, that usually has the picture or what not you were creating literally in between it or on it. They can be something similar to like a shaker card too literally just made with a penny sleeve. I've gotten one once and they're kind of interesting.

I've used acetate as a layer for ATCs. I have not made a card just on acetate. So I will try some of those. I suppose using rigid acetate would better. So you don't have the floppiness. Alcohol inks would work on this as would acrylic inks. But somesort of blue or red backing could also be interesting.
 
I was going to go that route for these but that would've meant cutting each design twice to sandwich the acetate between and my joints just weren't up for it.

I saw shakers on Pinterest where they literally used the little plastic bag the confetti came in so I just used a penny sleeve on the one side with the background red on the other.
