Description:

Oh boys do I like this idea. Another one that has probably been done before, however not being done now! I wanted to do some mail art, but I also wanted to make something similar that the partner can keep.

You will make your partner a profile inspired ATC standard size (2.5X3.5) on sturdy paper. Your choice of medium, if you glue things on please make sure they will stay on during shipping. No sticker slapping(one sticker in the middle), but stickers thought out or incorporated into the rest of the card are welcomed. You must use themes or inspiration from your partners profile! Make something that your partner will display, show off and feel happy about!

Then take any size legal mailable envelope and make it match the ATC. You do not have to recreate it exactly, however make it so the theme is also on the envelope. Front and back, make it fun let your ideas flow. The swap picture does a great job of showing you what I mean. I will not put a requirement (other than legal size) on the envelope because I can only get certain sizes and I am sure there are others like me! Please note that if there are things that can fall off or get damaged in the post office machines you will have to write "Hand Cancel" on the envie. That also ups the cost, so take this into consideration when decorating the envelope!!

Protect your atc. Its a wonder what a simple atc sleeve and tissue paper can do! Requirements are lax on this swap. USA only (1 stamp delight). Newbies to swap-bot are required to put effort into their profile. If I cannot make an ATC from your profile I will pm you and ask it to be elaborated. If it still is not I will ban for that reason. Profile swaps require a profile! I reserve the right to ban as I see fit, and you will get an explanation as to why I banned. No 1s or 3s in the past three months. Any questions just ask!!
