Due date-Friday March 10th
Number of cards- 3 for 3 or 6 for 6
Number of players-unlimited
*Media-only paper strips from used Christmas or greeting cards. No embellishments.
Every year I hang up the Christmas cards we receive. When I take them down, I keep them for a while. Then I toss them when I have a fit of tidiness.
I've been trying to think of how to recycle these cards which are essentially free art materials.
For this swap, your design will be abstract. But no, you don't tear the paper. You get to use a pair of scissors or paper cutter to make your Xmas cards cards into strips. I made my trial cards with skinny strips. And glued them onto a dark background.
You are free to make your background any color. Remember your strips are the stars. That is what you want others to notice. So your background should be plain, no images or dots or stripes.
Card information-Cards should be 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches & arrive in individual sleeves. On the back put at least your user name, location and date. Swap title, real name, title of card are optional
Mailing info- Everyone send along a paper or label with your mailing address.
US players-send along a forever stamp.
I will provide envelopes.
International players-I can provide postage for you.
