Description:

As there are 2 paste n pass swaps happening, please be sure you send the right one.. This is for the unsectioned one, ( no boundaries) Even if you didn't join before now, feel free to join this round, as this will continue for some time.

For this paste and pass, you will take a 7 x 5 sturdy piece of backing such as a cereal box or something of similar weight. You will do a background on it such as paint, glue down a few pieces of background paper, stamp, or the like. On the address side, put 5 spaces where the people who work on your card can add their name and a short note. In space number one, put your mailing address so the last person to add to your card knows where to send it home. Address it to your partner and send naked. Address it in such a way that the next person can easily cover their address with their partners.

The second person will add a few elements such as some collage pieces, paint, ink, stamps, whatever they choose, keeping in mind to leave enough work to be done by future partners. Each partner will add their bits and mail it naked to the next person. This will continue in this manner for 5 rounds with the 5th person to add to the card mailing it home to the owner.

I have done the other paste and passes where each person works on a section but I don't care for them much so if anyone would care to host one of those types, let me know and I will promote you to officer. This is international as with all swaps I host .. I hate to leave anyone out. Remember to take care when adding to someone's card.. Keep everything you add flat and safely secured to keep the card safe in transit. It will be in the postal system naked 5 times!!

Lets have fun with this one!

Note! I can never be sure when choosing dates that everyone will have the one from the previous round in time, so if you don't receive the one you are to send on in time, please let me know and I will adjust the send by date to allow for that. I want to keep a good pace for these but international mail is so slow!

May 31: swap edited to change sign up and send by dates to accommodate a situation with swappers.

So will there be a timeline/deadline for each person, or is it open ended? WHen they are open-ended, they seem to go on forever, and/or get lost in the process (I myself am guilty of my part in the former…!). I definitely prefer deadlines for each stage to keep it moving along.

Hi @GinaVisione , each round has a sign up and send by date to avoid the going on forever part. This is round 4 so those who sent a card out in round 1, will be getting theirs back in the next round. If anyone wants to opt out, they can send the card in their possession to me and I will find a way to put it back in circulation. :)
