Vintage Note Cards - A new creative swap!!

sample card

I have a new swap to announce! We had so much fun with the Mail Art Swap that it felt natural to follow with Vintage Note Cards. For this swap you will create 3 vintage style note cards with envelopes, in exchange for 3 different ones! It will be up to you whether you decorate the envelope that goes with the card or not. As far as the inside of the card goes, my samples were all blank inside. You may add a sentiment inside if you like, or leave the card blank as a true note card. You will be making and exchanging finished, usable vintage-style note cards. All sets of envelopes and cards are due in my hands no later than February 26th, 2011. The registration fee of $12 includes four pdf files and return postage anywhere in the world . . .

sample cards for the swap

Instructions for all four sample cards are included in the 12 page lesson you will receive when registering. After your $12 payment is complete you'll receive an email with a link from the E-junkie store to download a zipped file that includes the four pdf files associated with this swap. One pdf has the basic instructions for the swap and my mailing address. The Vintage Note Card lesson is a 12 page pdf that you can print out or read online. This lesson includes a supply list, step by step photos and instructions for all of my samples. Plus, something new for me to include -- I've included 2 pdf files I created filled with vintage images that you can print out, suitable for use in this swap or other projects!
