Description:

This is a twist on the usual postage stamp chain card. Instead of using new stamps and sending the postcard naked, you put used stamps on send in an envelope, until the writing side of the postcard is full. Once it’s full, you send the postcard naked and stamped back to its owner.

As this is the first round, everyone will be starting a new card.

Starting a new card:

1: Pick a postcard. Use one that’s not too big, as it needs to fit in an envelope.

2: Write your address on the address part of the postcard. This is how the postcard will be returned to you once it is full of stamps. Also write your username somewhere on the card and the round the card was started in.

3: Put 2 used stamps from your country on the card. I recommend using a glue stick to stick the stamps on.

4: Put the postcard in an envelope, and send it on to your partner. Don’t forget to include your username and the swap name on the envelope or a note inside the envelope.

Passing on a card you received in a previous round:

1: Put 2 used stamps from your country on the card. I recommend using a glue stick to stick the stamps on.

2: Put the postcard in an envelope, and send it on to your partner. Don’t forget to include your username and the swap name on the envelope or a note inside the envelope.

If you have received a card that is full once you have put your stamps on, attach correct postage and send it on to its owner. Then if you don’t have a card to send on to have stamps attached, start a new one :)

There will be a new round posted every 2 months to give time for all the postcards to reach their destinations.

If you have too many cards that are not full yet, or you are no longer going to participate, please contact me so I can put the extra cards back into rotation.

Any questions, just ask!

Active and established swappers only, with no recent/unresolved 1’s or 3’s. I will be checking all profiles before assigning partners. Any flakers will be banned from all swaps that are hosted by me.

Electronic swap? Watching for now.

Tiny comment...if re-using those gum backed stamps, use the glue stick on them also...I have tried re-sticking them on their own and after a few hours, most have curled up and fallen off.

@isamanthax Edited to type 2! Thanks for picking that up. @retiredartgal I've never had that happen, but good to know! Maybe just use glue on everything then :)
