Description:

THIS SWAP IS INTERNATIONAL AND NEW SWAPPERS ARE WELCOME, PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR PROFILE. I WILL HAVE TO BAN ANYONE WHO HAS A HISTORY OF NOT SENDING AS IT IS VERY UPSETTING WHEN YOU SEND AND DON'T RECIEVE BACK.

The idea of this swap is to use images and/or words cut from used Christmas cards to decorate ATC's. Try and make the images more winter than Christmas, i.e. Snow, snowmen, trees, animals etc rather than Sants as it will be after Christmas when you send them.

Other than that you can use any medium you want paint, ink, embelishments, whatever but please use at least 50 percent Christmas cards.

You will send 2 ATC's to each of your partner so make 6 in total.

The usual ATC rules apply, 2.5"x3.5" and plat enough to fit in an ATc pocket if required. Please make something decorative and creative which you would be proud to have in your collection and make sure they are well stuck together so as to survise the post.

I have set the dates so that we will have time to make the ATC's once the cards have come down after Christmas but please let me know if there's a problem.

This will be my first swap & my first time making ATCs, but I can't wait! I'm curious to know what is the best glue to use for these projects & also is laminating considered a no-no? What about sealing with a coat of mod-podge or something similar? TIA. Smiles, DianeM :)

graydragon 01/ 7/2007 #

Welcome DianeM, i'm not sure about laminating but i would recomend a coating of modge podge or similar to strengthen your ATC's. as to glue I find dry glues best like glue dots or double sided tape then a coating of modge podge on to, but i have used other glues too, just experiment and see what works for you.

I hope you enjoy the swap x

Thanks for the info - I LOVE double stick tape & now I get to add modge-podge to my craft supplies inventory...woohoo! Smiles, DianeM :)

Hi All - I received 2 sets of ATCs yesterday. One set from Jim LaChapelle & one set from Cynthia McBroom. Thank you both for the beautiful ATCs! This has been alot of fun. Smiles, DianeM :)

How do you leave feedback for your swap partners? I've received ATCs & I want to leave a favorable comment for my swappers. TIA. Smiles, DianeM :)

Cindy B.

I just found out that you did not receive the ATC I mailed to you. I apologize. I know they are some where in the US mail system.

I don't have any Christmas Cards left to recycle so I've made you a set of Recycled Junk Mail ATCs.

They will go out in the mail in the morning.

Again, I'm so sorry that you didn't receive your swap from me.
