FCMA: Handmade PC - International

Create one handmade postcard for your partner. You can draw, paint, collage, zentangle or rubber stamp a scene. It is artist's choice.

Please keep in mind the US Post office postcard sizes:

Postcards are an inexpensive way to get an immediate message to customers. When they arrive in the mail, there's the message -- no envelope to open! First-Class Mail postcards are a great value, too. With First-Class Mail postcards, you pay a low price and get all of the benefits, like forwarding and return that come with First-Class Mail. And, if you mail with single-piece First-Class Mail postage affixed, there is no extra work involved -- simply drop the postcards in a collection box.

You may think that your mailpiece is a "postcard," because it is a single sheet of paper. But to qualify for mailing at the First-Class Mail postcard price, it must be:

Rectangular At least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick No more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick For other countries, please consult your country's regulations. I sometimes collage over a tourist postcard if I am unsure about the place I am sending.

You can use cereal box cardboard or card stock but please make sure that there are no hanging off or sticking out bits.

This swap is for one handmade postcard to be sent naked - no envelope - to one partner.
