For the person who gets me in this swap, I really would like blanks with words on them, or music. You could just take the pages out of a phone book or the newspaper and adhear them to the heavy cardstock, real playing card. What also would be fun would be pattern paper from a sewing pattern or colored tissue paper attached with glue and water or mod podge!

Hi all - minimum size is 2.5 x 3.5 inches, but can we make them bigger? Still pretty new to swap-bot and so have questions coming out of my ears... :) Thanks!

Partners are assigned! Happy swapping!

UPDATE: Swap card size minimum is the same size as business cards, which is slightly smaller than an ATC! No maximum size but try not to go too big as a big swap card can add weigh to a package or not fit in an envelope. (Just had that happen, so I had to toss out the swap card, waaaahh:(

Yarn Addict & Knitting Cateling, yours went in the po box today!

Yikes, I think I JUST got the purpose of this swap. It is to make 10 small cards reflective of your partner that they can include as a indication of who THEIR swap item is from..right? What a dork I am, I thought the swap was for ATC backgrounds! I'm on it.

Perodoticparadox and Spoonergregory your cards are in the mail! Lauren, you're just across the state from me, so yours should get there in a day or two! Sarah, yours will take a little longer to cross the pond,as it were! Let me know when they arrive! Cyn

What's considered "premium cardstock" or the weight for "heavy" paper? (I know it's more than regular copy paper) Is it like scrapbook paper or heavier? I haven't seen many swap cards yet and the ones I've gotten vary a lot as far as weight. Is standard cardstock from Office Depot ok? I don't want to disappoint my partners! Thanks.

Vee and Zhulia - yours are in the mail! If the cardstocks not heavy enough for you, pm me and I'll send ya another batch!

Tricia Both and Origami Grace - your cards have finally dried and are in the post from the UK! They usually take between 7-10 days to arrive. I hope you like them!
