Description:
Okay I guess it is my turn to hst a swap - so here we go - I did this last year as a personal swap and went very well! So you will have one partner and create 2 cards or 3 postcards that contain a real stamp in the design (not just a picture or stamp unless incorporated into the design) We all have those stamps we get on our swaps and I know I save mine - so let's get them out and use them as an inspiration for your project. Must be in good standing with your current swaps - no late no sends on your personal page. If you have any questions send them along to me @sapphirestitching cause I am no good at looking at the comment section. No size restrictons - but larger than an average note card. and make sure that the cards have matching envies.

wait, is this for postcards or notecards? I'm confused.

me too! you mean incorporate a postage stamp? they can be anything so long as there is a postage stamp on them??

senders choice - 2 cards OR 3 postcards is my take on it. Use a cancelled postage stamp somewhere in the design of the piece you choose to create. happy to make both for my partner as I have quite a collection of stamps :)

OMG! I thought you meant a "rubber stamp"! (hahaha) I'm glad the comment section helped to clear this up. I will give this swap some consideration and make my decision to join as soon as I return from vacation. Meanwhile, I'm developing card ideas ....

It is either your choice. Postcard or cards. I know some may have laminators that they can cover over the design so the stamp does not fall off.

Yes it is a card with a stamp(used from swaps you received) incorporated into the design. I am going to seach through my pictures and post one for you all - since this was done last summer as a personal swap I held it may take a tad of time to look through my photos.

whats matching evies

@catchahug - envie = envelope. Make sure you include an envelope that matches your card. You should provide an envelope for each card you make. :)

If possible, I would prefer cards rather than post cards but am happy to join in on the phone either way.

I would also like cards instead of postcards. Note to my partner!

Do the postcards require separate envelopes as well?
