Description:

This is a nice, simple postcard swap. Either draw, sketch, or paint something winter or "winter holiday" themed (Christmas, Yule, Kwanza, Hanukkah, winter, snow men, cardinals, etc.) on the front and write a nice note on the back. That's it! Please no photograph or collage cards, also while I love Zentangle and doodling, this swap is for drawings of actual (or imagined) things (a person, group, place, animal, scene, object, or still life, etc.), not abstract designs. Please, take your time and put a little effort into your drawing/painting, there is no need to rush.

Please check out your partner's profile first to make sure you send them something for the proper holiday if doing a holiday themed card (no Hanukkah cards to Catholics, for example) You have three weeks to make and mail your postcard after partners have been assigned.

Please send your card naked (stamped, written on, no envelope).


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!

I've never had a complaint about the card stock going through the mail, but if you want to use a different weight paper or to make a different size card, please make sure it will go through the post; the USPS site for postcard standards is here at the USPS site (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.


As with any swap, please don't forget to write “swap bot”, the group name, the swap name, and your user name somewhere on the card so your partner knows who to rate!

This sounds like a great idea for a swap, but unfortunately I am certainly not artistic when it comes to drawing or painting, lol. I may practice a bit and see what I can come up with that looks decent enough to send to someone then may consider joining IF I can create something I am happy with:))

I'm Catholic, but I would appreciate anyone else's holiday represented on a postcard, too. So Nativity, Yule, Kwanza, Hanukkah, general winter, etc. would be fine with me.
