Hand Stamped Teddy Bear Card and Tag swap

Who doesn’t love Teddy Bears? If you love to stamp, get ready for fun! Please make one Teddy Bear card and matching tag to send to one partner.

The main image must be rubber stamped; please stamp cleanly, missed areas or double lines are not acceptable. Please use at least 2 layers and 3 embellishments on the main area of your card. Make each card a minimum of 4.25” x 5.5” AFTER folding. Round or shaped cards must be a minimum of 3.75”, smallest diameter. Feel free to buy your card locally or in a handmade online shop if you wish to participate and do not make your own cards. The tag must be a minimum of 1.75x2.5” with a ribbon or fibre to hang the tag from. It must have at least one embellishment.

Please use ALL quality items to make this card. If you prefer CAS (clean and simple) designs with only one layer, please send me an image of the card at least 3 days before the sign up deadline and I will decide if the card is acceptable. Please do not be offended, I am only trying to rule out a plain piece of CS with an uncoloured/undecorated/unembellished stamped image in the middle!

Stickers, AS ACCENTS, should be limited to high quality scrapbooking or card making stickers, not the kind meant for kids or teacher’s reward stickers.

Please do not use computer generated images or sentiments because I have been very disappointed by images printed in very poor quality lately. (If you print them well using very good quality paper and ink, your partner won’t know and can’t rate you badly for it can they?? Wink wink)

Please write a message to your partner as if the card was meant for them but on a separate piece of paper so the card can still be used. Include an envelope if you have one.

Please make a beautiful card you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. Make sure your work is clean and precise. No glue should show and straight cuts need to be straight. Please check your partner’s profile for dislikes and avoid those. For instance, do not use a birthday sentiment on my card because I don’t celebrate birthdays (along with other holidays-list on profile). Other than that, this is sender’s choice.

Please have a 4.9+ rating to join and no 1's EVER or 3's in the last 6 months. I will accept explanations of course, PM me. Newbies are welcome with WELL FILLED out profiles and MUST PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap to show good intentions. A newbie is someone with less than 5 completed and rated type 2 or 3 swaps. If you see a flaker has joined, don't worry, I will weed them out. If you are really worried, give me a heads up! I’ve only been a member since March 24 and been flaked on 5 times so I get it!

Enjoy! Rebecca
