Description:

So I have another crazy idea for a swap series. A Pagan/Witchy card set. I plan on doing one for every High Holy Day/Holiday.

The ones I will be showcasing are the following:

  • Summer Solstice

  • Lammas

  • Autumn Equinox

  • Samhain

  • Winter Solstice

  • Candlemas

  • Spring Equinox

  • May Day

    I am starting it all off with this swap. Our first one will be Summer Solstice. Each participant will create a card showcasing their interpretation of this Holiday. It must be hand-crafted

    It can be any medium, as long as it is original work. Collage, painting,markers, pen and ink, pencil, etc. Medium is up to the artist.

    But here is the twist....make 1 of these cards & then copy and send to all of the participants. If we have 12 people sign up, then you will send out 12 cards (but remember...you just make one original and send out copies) to all of the swap partners. And each participant will receive in return 12 DIFFERENT AMAZING CARDS to keep or send off! Incredible way to share with one another and have an amazing collection of cards. :)

    I will cut off at 13 participants. So, if this swap seems like something you want to be a part of, join! Must have a minimum of 3.

To Recap:

  • Make One, Original card showcasing Summer Solstice

  • Any medium, any style - Cards must be a minimum of 5" x 7" (12.7 cm x 17.78cm)

  • Copy your original and affix it securely onto card stock

  • Send it out to all of the participants (limited to 13 total swappers)

  • Create or purchase an envelope for your amazing art card

  • Receive 12 cards (or however many people join the swap) to add to your new Crafty Witches Card collection

  • This swap IS NOT open to New Members. Please make sure you can join this swap. Check the forums if you have questions.

  • Making sure you can complete this swap. Flaking will get you banned.

Any questions/comments, please post below. Since this IS NOT partner specific, you may start creating as soon as you sign up.

If we choose to label these cards, can we use the terms we like best for the holiday? In other words, for Summer Solstice, can we say Midsummer or Litha on our cards?

Yes - Whatever you prefer. =D Artist rendering/interpretaion.

Are they to be like greeting cards, is: 5x7 closed, or open at the fold to 5x14 or 10x7, or flat one-sided 5x7 cards, like a large postcard?

oreon 04/ 4/2012 #

Like greeting cards. 5x7 closed.

Maybe the next one. I don't feel quite caught up enough to join just yet. But it does really look like a great swap. I hope everyone enjoys it!
