Handmade Birthday Card Swap - Newbie Friendly

We were all newbies once, and I remember how hard it was to find a newbie friendly type 3 swap to start building up my profile, so this easy, low-cost swap is to help out all those newbies that need to start somewhere. :-)

For this swap you will make a total of 2 handmade BIRTHDAY CARDS and send one card to each of your partners. You must also include an envelope with your handmade birthday card that your partner can use to mail out the card. The envelope does not have to be handmade (although it would be an extra surprise if you also make a matching envelope and/or decorate the envelope to match your card), but it should be big enough to mail the card out in. The card should not be written in so that your partner can use it sometime in the future. The minimum size for the card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

So you will make a total of two handmade birthday cards WITH envelopes, and you will send each of your partners one card/envelope each. Your handmade card and blank envelope should be placed inside another envelope and mailed out to your partner.

The card needs to be of good quality, made from good quality cardstock, with time and attention put into the card. You can use rubber stamped images, die cuts, Cricut die cuts, punches, ribbon, brads, buttons, embossing, or any other embellishments or crafty techniques to decorate your cards. Just please make them of the same quality that you would like to receive. The point of a handmade card is for it to be something unique that you cannot buy in a store.

I will angel this swap, if necessary, once you have rated your partner a 1 and notified me of the flake.

Requirements:

• Newbies allowed with a WELL FILLED OUT profile. I will check all profiles before assigning partners and reserve the right to ban at my discretion.

• All other swappers must have a minimum 4.95 rating

• No 1s or 3s in the last 6 months without a reasonable explanation.

• All swappers must have signed on to swap-bot at least 5 days prior to the swap deadline. I've had to add this requirement to reduce the risk of flakers in the swaps.

Please make sure to send your swaps out on time and rate as soon as you receive your items. Don't forget to put your swapbot user ID and the name of the swap somewhere in your package so that your partner can rate you easily.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or leave a comment below and I will answer as soon as I can! Thanks
