Snail~Mailer's Dream Parcel! (international) EDIT

CALLING ALL SNAIL~MAILERS..... this is the swap for you!

For this swap, we will send & receive the parcel of our dreams. After choosing from the list below, package your parcel up very carefully so items don't get damaged/bent/torn in transit. Don't just throw everything in! The size of envelope or box you use will depend on which items you choose to send. Decorate/embellish the parcel so your partner will know what it is & be as excited as you will when you receive yours!

Choose 10 items from this list to send to your partner:

• 10 airmail stickers (the free ones from any post office)

• 2 different new or vintage letter sets (2 papers & 1 envelope each; the papers can be folded to fit neatly in envies)

• set of 4 handmade note cards with envies - hand-stamped; hand-decorated or zentangled - not from scrapbook paper & NOT storebought (card stock based okay)

• 5 handmade envelopes (made from any ephemera other than scrapbook paper)

• 10 handmade postal-themed stickers (these can be cut-outs or computer printed images made into stickers)

• 1 roll of deco tape or washi tape

• 5 artistamps (a.k.a. faux postage), made by you or someone else

• 4 new, store-bought postcards, unwritten (so your partner can use them) - no ad cards! Okay to send vintage if your partner's profile says so.

• 4 unused postage stamps (only if sending within your country)

• 3 unused airmail envelopes (vintage okay)

• 4 different foreign postal forms - free ones like customs forms, registered mail, etc. Like these (only if sending to another country, other than your own) - for mail art purposes

• 10 envelope seals - store-bought or handmade, either postal-related or profile specific ONLY

• fine-tip, permanent ink pen (.5mm or smaller), such as Micron (may say 08) or LePen. (NO gel pens or cheap pens.) If you can't send a quality pen, don't choose this item!

• 2 handmade or store-bought self-mailers, like these

• a snail mail-inspired rubber stamp - hand-carved or store-bought (like a postage stamp or cancellation mark, for example, but you can be creative as long as its postal related)

• 2 vintage letters (originals, not copies; to be used by your partner for mail art purposes)

• 15 custom, profile-specific address labels for your partner

• 1 self-inking postal stamp, like "airmail"; "parcel post"; "handle with care", etc. (usually purchased at office supply stores)

• handmade and/or hand-stamped and/or collaged stationery consisting of 4 papers & 2 coordinating envies

• 12 address labels (the kind you put on the front of an envie that say "to...") - handmade or not, but not plain white

• 2 handmade/altered/re-puposed postcards (that your partner can use)

Each bullet point counts as 1 item. These are the specific items that you must choose from to send to your partner, so please read carefully before choosing. Its your partner's choice to give/not give a heart and to rate down if you don't send the swap correctly. I have given examples/explanations for each, so there shouldn't be any confusion. If you have questions or are unsure what an item is, PLEASE PM me or comment below. Also, if you have more ideas as to what to send, let me know & I'll consider adding to the list.

Don't forget to put a note in your package with your name & the swap name.

PLEASE READ Since this is a time-consuming, QUALITY swap, you must have at least a 4.97 rating with at least 10 type-3 (package swaps) with a 5 rating. No 1's or 3's in the last 6 months. No late-sends on your dashboard at the time partners are assigned, and you must have logged on within 3 days of the sign-up deadline. I WILL check profiles before assigning partners and will not PM you before banning you if you do not meet these requirements.
