Description:

If you have some really cool picture or art work on a greeting card, it seems a shame to have to cover it up with an envelope. Let's turn those into postcards and send them out for all to see.

Take a greeting card that you find interesting, cut the back away, and use the front as a postcard.

NO holiday cards (like Christmas, or Easter, etc.) NO sentiment cards (like Get Well Soon, Thank You, Happy Birthday, etc.) The front should basically be without text, with the exception of maybe a single nondescript word, like "hello."

These can be cards you've received, new cards, vintage cards (in good shape), cut-out shaped cards; what ever you have that fits the bill.

Keep in mind, they must be of mailable size and if they are larger than 6" x 4¼" they need first class postage. (see measurement conversions via Google)

This should be a simple swap from something you already have, so it will be a QUICK turnaround swap. Open to EVERYONE. Let me know if you get a flaker for a partner and I'll angel.

I have thought about this and I am doing a similar swap, but for ATC. I hope you do not mind, I refer to this swap for anyone that sees my swap and want to make a postcard instead.

Of course not... I don't mind at all. It is a good idea!
