Description:

I love (and collect) business cards... and I love quotes/poetic verses/Bible verses....so I thought "Why not put the two together?" This will be a very inexpensive but fun swap.

For this swap you will have one swap partner and you'll send three cards to this one partner.

  1. Pick three different business cards (these are free wherever you go or you may have some of your own!)...choose ones that are blank on the back if you plan to write on it by hand. I would prefer that you to leave the front as is so we can appreciate the original card as well as what you've added to the back.

  2. Write a quote or poetic verse or Bible verse on the back (freehand or type it on the computer, print, cut, and glue it on) and illustrate it somehow. You can draw a tiny picture, glue on images cut from a magazine or from your junk mail, or stick on a sticker, or just make a colorful, detailed border... anything goes!

  3. Optional: Add a note telling any story or info behind the cards or the quotes/verses you chose.

  4. Have FUN!

Some people would LOVE to have a Bible verse (BTW, any translation is ok) but I know some people may not (I know I would love it) so please add a note to the comments if you object so that your partner will know.

I'm actually going to give lots of time since it's a busy time of year. Since this is an inexpensive and fairly simple swap, I will be glad to angel. Please let me know if you'd be willing to angel, too. This is international. I am happy to open this to newbies. I WILL check profiles, though, and not allow anyone who has recent low ratings or negative comments, however. But, I will try not to be too picky.

I would be happy to angel as well. I love to collect some of the interesting design/graphics people come up with for their cards :)

Thanks so much Papergoddess! I appreciate your willingness to angel and I agree with you that there are some very interesting business card designs out there. Some (I'm sure not all, but for some it really shows) of these have had a lot of thought behind them and I can appreciate that and they also give me inspiration. Plus, wow! How can we leave the ones with blank backs behind without adding to them! Free paper, all cut to a cute size just waiting to be repurposed made and special! :)
