Swap Due Date – January 18, 2018
Signup/withdraw date – Please communicate
Number of Cards - 3 for 3
Number of participants – 30, as this is my third swap
Style: open
Do you search for ways to up-cycle, like me?
Come to the place where frugality meets allergy-sufferer meets artist!
I love my pretty tissue boxes, and go through a lot of them--so I thought I'd try using the discarded boxes as bases for my cards. The cardboard is perfect for atcs, and then I thought, well, these make pretty backgrounds, too! So the tissue box atc was born.
For this swap, you must use cardboard from facial tissue boxes (you can get at least 3 from one large rectangular box). You may use more then one box, if you like.
You can draw on the cardboard, paint it, stamp it, collage it--UP-CYCLE it!
BUT-the background of the card must show at least a bit of the recognizable tissue box design--it is about the pretty boxes.
So, show us how you up-cycle something pretty into something BEAUTIFUL!
The Cards:
Must be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches on cardboard from a facial tissue box
and have all items securely glued on
Must have your AFA name, the swap name, and at least your first name
on the back
Must be sent in plastic sleeves
This is a 3 for 3 swap so send 3 cards (but if you'd like to include a hostess
card I would cherish it!)
The Mailing:
Mail your cards in a size 10 business size envelope (4” by 9.5”) with sufficient
postage
Include the same amount of postage needed to mail your cards in your
envelope
Include a mailing label of at least 1” by 1.5” with your address printed on it
I will supply the envelopes for returns
Please allow snail mail time and mail your cards so that I receive them by the
due date
The Returns:
I try to swap "like for like"---if you put a lot of time & effort into your cards I will try to swap with others' cards that were made with the same care
Once you receive your returns please let me know in the swap thread
Leave reps (You Rock!s) for players whose cards you’ve received and an
iTrader for your hostess.
If you have any questions or issues please communicate.
Please Personal Message me or post on the thread when you need my address.
If you have to drop out, or decide you'd rather not play, please let me know either by private message or on the swap thread.
For INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS; please include a large address label with your mailing address on it, $1 USD or US Stamp equivalent, Paypal or your own country's postage equivalent for that weight. PM me for my Paypal info.

I'm gonna lurk for now, but hope to get back to this one.
But there is lots of time and I love the theme so I will lurk and see what I can come up with! I love your carousel horse and Ovtober examples, BlueSkyHare! Very inspiring!
