Cut and paste: holiday sweet treats PC swap. OK, this is kind of silly, but I thought it would be fun to do. The holidays are right around the corner and magazines and catalogs are filling up with recipes for, and pictures of all sorts of sweet treats. Find a picture of something that makes you drool, cut it out and paste it on a piece of card stock (make sure it covers the entire card) and send it to your partner! Please write a short note on the back, it can be about the picture on the front, your favorite dessert, your favorite recipe, favorite holiday meal, or anything at all. This is sender's choice so if you get a postcard with a sweet treat on it, even if the picture is of Baklava and you hate Baklava, please give a five. Please send your card naked (stamped, written on, no envelope). And PLEASE make sure that your picture is glued down firmly and that there are no loose corners or edges to get torn by postal machinery. Newbies welcome, with a well filled out profile (more than one or two simple paragraphs, people want to know your likes, dislikes, hobbies, wants etc), otherwise it would be nice if you had a 4.5 rating or higher. I reserve the right to ban anybody who does not meet these requirements. For the newbies: the easiest way to make a handmade postcard is to take an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of card stock (120lb is perfect) and cut it into quarters to make four(4) 4.25 x 5.5 inch cards. You will only need one for this swap, so you can save the others for future swaps! Then simply find a good picture and cut it out to fit on your card stock and paste it on! If you want to use a different-weight paper or to make a different-sized card, please make sure it will go through the post; the USPS site for postcard standards is here: https://www.usps.com/send/first-class.htm (click on the 'Rules & Restrictions' tab). International swappers, please check with your local postal service to verify proper postcard sizes and postage, but size restrictions are likely to be similar. |
