QUICK! Saturday is World Card Making Day!

Make a generic greeting card for your partner to use. (Don’t write in it but feel free to add a note on a separate paper.) Please include an envelope. It would be nice if it was decorated to match but not required but it must be the right size (or large enough to fit).

This is for intermediate and experienced crafters only. You don’t have to be a card maker but it is expected that this will have neat stamping, carefully trimmed images, smooth-edged die cuts, straight edges (where appropriate) and use good quality supplies. But don’t be deterred by these rules, I just don’t want to get crap thrown together and really, no one does!!

Any style or medium is fine including hand-drawn/hand-painted. If you stamp or collage, please add some nice layers and embellishments. Layers can be physical layers or layers of stenciling, mists, sponging, painting etc. This is not required for HD/HP.

By generic I mean Thank you, grateful, thinking of you, hello etc. A nice quote or even no sentiment at all is also fine. A funny or punny sentiment related to the images used is also fine. Please no holiday or birthday (unless you check with your partner first).

If you use dimensional embellishments, be sure to protect them with a layer of thin foam, cardboard or a bubble mailer. (I use thin foam, it’s so much cheaper!)

*no teacher/reward stickers, pixelated computer printouts or magazine pages (unless significantly and beautifully altered).

*make something lovely you’d be proud to receive and wish you could keep for yourself!

*this is sender’s choice but please respect your partner’s dislikes for instance, don’t add bugs if they hate them or colours they don’t like.

*please have no recents 3s or any 1s without a good explanation in the comments of that swap or send me a note first.

*Please consider hearts for your partner if they made a really nice card. Extras are not the only reason to give hearts.

*i will angel once you have PMd twice and gotten no or negative responses and have rated a 1. Let me know if things aren’t working out in your discussions. I’m happy to help!
