Description:

This is my first time hosting a public swap, so if I leave out anything or if you have any questions, just message me or leave a comment!

I have been making a lot of ATCs lately and really love it, and I thought that with the 4th of July coming up, it would be the perfect time to make American-themed ATCs!

Each person will make three different American-themed Artist Trading Cards to send to three people (so each person receives one card from each person--three total).

No limits on what you can use to make the cards. Stamps, embellishments, glitter, paint, colored pencils, fabric, whatever.. You name it! Just as long as you put some effort into it. Make it something you'd want to receive!

The only rule is that each card HAS to include some red, white, and blue somewhere, if only a small part. (So if you wanted to do mainly American icons like Mt. Rushmore, the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, Declaration of Independence, whatever... that would be fine as long as you include something small featuring our colors!)

As far as American-themed, anything goes. You could go with American icons (like I mentioned above) or the flag and LOTS of red, white, and blue stuff, or you could go in another direction. As long as you can explain how your card is patriotic/American themed, then go for it!

By the way, a letter explaining your card would be appreciated, but is not required (unless you think the person might have a hard time figuring out the link between your card and patriotism).

Also, this swap is NOT international (America only!), not because it's American THEMED, but because of postage prices and the fact that I'm not familiar with them... lol. Just trying to keep it simple for my first time hosting a public swap.

So to recap, you will make THREE patriotic ATCs and send one to each of your three partners.

Don't forget to rate your partners after receiving your ATCs!

Angels welcomed!

Enjoy!

PS: Anyone with a pattern of bad swaps or one bad swap out of their last three will be banned! If you think you are or should be an exception, such as a newbie (like me, lol) or received an unfair bad rating, contact me. I'm fair!

Sounds like fun! I've been in the mood to create something patriotic! I'm in!

Yay Starwatcher!! Glad to have you!

So I was a little surprised to check the swap and see that it already has ten people besides myself. How did everyone find it? I haven't posted the link anywhere.. Does swap-bot have a place that it features new swaps or something?

So excited about this!

I've completed mine, just waiting for partners to be assisgned.

Will assign partners June 31st, the first day after the last signup date! Looking forward to it!

Ok.. that last comment of mine was really really stupid. Sorry.. Blonde moment! I didn't even think about the fact that June only had thirty days, even though I knew it. Anyway, I meant July 1st and it is now July 1st. I can't seem to find the "assign partners" link since swap-bot changed the layout but as soon as I find it I'm going to assign partners. I'll check the FAQ and see if it's addressed or something if I can't find it...

Great news for me. 1940's profile can now be viewed as 1940grannie. Thanks for being so understanding.
