2010 Card Swap Guidelines

Stampers of all experience levels are encouraged to participate - - this is a great way to share ideas, practice new techniques, and get inspired!

Here's how the swap works:
Make 6 Cards (all the same or very similar) - - you may submit up to 3 different sets of cards.

Sign your work on the bottom back of the cards - you've put the time and creativity into this piece of art, so let the world know who the artist is!

Credits/Techniques: on a separate sheet of paper, let us know what stamps and techniques you used.

Envelopes: You don't need to include envelopes, but you can if you wish - - sometimes they add to the effect of the card.

You can mail your cards or drop them off at Stamp Express. Put your cards in a 6x9 inch envelope and include a self addressed 6x9 inch envelope so the cards can be sent back to you. For those mailing their cards include $1.50 for the first 6-card set and an additional $.50 for each additional 6-card set to cover the cost of postage. Mail or bring cards to:

Stamp Express Card Swap
West Shore Farmers Market
900 Market St
Lemoyne, PA 17043

Cards must be dropped off or mailed by the last day of the month. Your return package should arrive around the middle of the following month. I do the swap the second Tuesday of the following month.
