Description:
I took part in a cool Christmas Card Swap last year hosted by @marinda and previously by @janeengland The idea was simple.....Choose a Christmas card for you partner, write what ever Christmas greeting you would like inside, then seal the open three sides with clear cello tape, and write the mailing and return addresses on the back of the card, stamp it, and mail it as is. No need for an envelope....and the postal workers enjoyed being able to see the face of the Christmas cards:) Essentially it will look like a postcard. If the back of your card is busy with colour or print you can affix an avery label with the mailing address on it. Your partner will slit open the tape when it arrives and read your card and it will be ready to display Send one card each to your 3 partners. Simple!

Sometimes the back of the card has an icon on it, so it doesn't always work. It's nice to open up a card as well.

I recently received a swap where someone taped up the edges of the Christmas card sendint it out as a post card. I wasn't really happy with it.

Since this is for Canada, why not!

Yes sometimes the back of the card has print on it, but as stated in the swap, you can put a label over it to write in the address.
