Description:

This swap is a fairly simple one. It is for collectors of used postage stamps and handmade postcards ! If you are a collector of both and want some different variety from around the world then this swap is for you. Share your love for postage stamps with a personal touch by making a handmade postcard for your partners. It just goes to show that with a little thought and effort even something as simple as a used postage stamp swap can be a great thing

Here’s how it works – you can make the handmade postcard in any way you would like, any theme and media and decorated in any style, but the only stipulation is that the postcard itself must have at least 5 used postage stamps somewhere on the post card. Of course feel free to add more if you wish… if you want to make a postcard completely out of stamps that’s your choice also…

This will be an international swap and you will have 3 partners. Making 1 postcard for each partner. Must have a rating of a 3.5 or higher.

Feel free to get ideas from magazines, online etc for possible templates that you could use, but you must have personally made the postcard in some form or fashion. If you have any questions please pm me…

Swaps must be sent to your partners using real stamps also ( not sent in an envelope) and a note written on the back of each, just telling your partner who you are, where you are from or why you chose to make the particular type of postcard you did.

Oh nuts ! I made my postcards, and just checked to see when the due date is...now I realize it is for 3 partners. I already made 5 postcards ! I have a background with portions of a Paris map, 6 stamps from different countries, and some "extras", all sealed with varnish. When this swap is over, if you did not get me for a partner, and you would be interested in swapping for one of these that I made... let me know ! Thanks ! These were ( obviously) fun !

I love the idea of this swap, but will be traveling. I'd love to participate if something like this is offered again in the future. - Or I could swap one with you FingersInc...

i sent mine today. apologies to my partners but they are clothed (ie not naked) as my PO recommended i put them in envelopes b/c the stamps may have confused postal workers.
