Swap Due Date – Thursday, Sept. 5th, 2024
Signup/withdraw Date – None; please just communicate
Number of Cards - 3 for 3
Number of Participants – Unlimited
Media – Mixed Media
Theme – Charm Ornament Swap
Charms have been around for a long time, and charm bracelets have risen and fallen in popularity over the decades. When I was a kid, they saw a resurgence in popularity and although I’ve always liked them I’ve never actually owned one. Recently, I bought a mixed bag of charms from Amazon for my Altered Matchbox Swap and I realized this would be a fun swap for ATCs.
For this swap, you will create cards in any theme of your choice, but you must incorporate at least one, flat charm. (No thick, bulky charms that will make your envie non-machinable, please!) If you choose to use more charms, and thus to make your cards heavier, please make sure to include enough extra individual stamps to cover sending each of your heavier cards to their new homes.
Here are the fun charms that I recently purchased: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073YKWN45/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Please just let me know if you have any questions!
Card Guidelines:
1. Each card must be a standard ATC size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
2. Each card must be original and unique. Please don’t send in cards that you’ve swapped/traded in the past or plan on replicating for swapping/trading in the future.
3. Any embellishments must be relatively flat and lightweight.
4. Please send in only work that you have put thought, time, and effort into. Make sure that you are swapping a card you would be happy to receive.
5. Please make sure that cards have a sturdy background and earn the name “card.”
6. Each card must be in an individual plastic sleeve (please no connecting photo album sleeves without also including individual sleeves).
7. Each card should be labeled with the swap name, your username, your real name, date of creation, and your location.
Mailing Guidelines:
1. Please mail cards in a business sized envelope, spreading the cards over the space of the envelope.
2. If you tape your cards together or onto a sturdy background when mailing, please use an easy-release tape such as painter’s tape or washi tape. I don’t want anyone’s beautiful artwork to be damaged by tape.
3. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your return cards.
4. If you are mailing from the U.S., one Forever stamp should cover the cost of returns.
5. If you are mailing internationally, please provide one of the following for your returns:
a. One Global U.S. Forever stamp.
b. One well-concealed $1 bill.
c. $1 payment via PayPal.
*When you are ready to mail your cards, please just private message me for my address. If you have it from an earlier swap, it has not changed.
*Feedback will be given when cards are received by me.
*Please note that cards must be received by the due date. No cards and no communication will result in neutral Feedback. You may withdraw any time before the due date.
*A host card would be greatly appreciated and loved, but is never required. J
*Please make sure to leave Feedback for your host (me) and Reputation comments/points for the artists that created your return cards when you receive them.
