Description:

I've seen and received handmade cards and I think they are beautiful. I wanted to try and make my own. I can't be the only newbie out there who is afraid to send them out. So here we are, a swap for us newbie to handmade postcards to swap with each other. People who aren't newbies at this are also welcome to join and swap with us, but please know you might get someone's first time handmade postcard in return.

Postcards are sender's choice and can either be sent naked or in an envelope. (although checking your partner's profile is always nice to see their preferences.) One postcard sent to one partner. Any theme and any medium.

Found some examples of homemade postcards on flickr example 1 example 2 example 3 example 4 example 5 example 6example 7

This swap is international and open to newbies (with a filled out profile). No recent 1 or 3s without reasonable explanations. I will angel if need be, but really hope I don't need to.

Note this is my first swap and I am really excited to be hosting it. I'm on swapbot daily so contact me if you have any questions.

Hi! This is not fabric post cards or is it? I am just a little confused... but then I am usually that was...LOL

I would say that handmade is anything that's created by you and not store bought. So if you want to make a fabric post card go for it!

Hi there, I just wanted to clarify a bit..one postcard to one person, any theme any medium? Am I missing anything?
