1.
You will be notified of the hostess’ mailing address, via email.
2. Create 1 (one) bookmark using traditional supplies only or traditional supplies and digital backgrounds or elements. You will receive 1 (one) bookmark back from the swap.
3. Don’t write on the inside of the bookmark…that way the recipient can personalize it.
4. Please do your very best work and create a top-notch bookmark. This means that the images should be nicely stamped, no smudges, straight cut paper and neatly layered elements and embellishments that are affixed securely.
5. Scan your bookmark, because you are going to need this later to post in the card art gallery.
6. When you mail your bookmark(s) to the Hostess, this is what you need to include in your envelope:
* The bookmark you are swapping and appropriately sized envelope if over 4.25” x 5.5”
* A self-addressed stamped envelope if you live in the US. If you live outside of the US, you will need to send a self-addressed envelope and $2 US to cover the return postage. Use an oversized envelope. Suggested size to use is approx. 6 inches by 9.5 inches, which the USPS recognizes as letter sized mail, thus less postage cost.
* A list of supplies you used in your bookmark. Credit for digital backgrounds or elements. Be sure to denote which swap your bookmark is for.
7. Once your bookmark is in the mail, then you will post in the applicable forum thread (
Card Swaps - Card Scraps Forums ) that it is on the way and the date mailed. Do not post the image until after the hostess notifies you to do so, via this thread.
8. Once the hostess receives all the bookmarks, she will swap them out and send them out to the participants in the envelopes provided. You will also be notified in the applicable forum thread that you may post your card image in the Card Art gallery (
http://www.cardscraps.com/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/510 ).
Be sure to denote the keyword ID, applicable to this swap.
9. When participants receive their bookmark, they should post in the forum thread that they have been received.
Now that you have read all the details….who wants to make some Bookmarks and swap with other CARDScraps members?
If you have any questions please post them in this thread.
