Description:

Let's carve a label stamp! Stamp should be no bigger than 4" while leaving enough room to write an address. Do not include "to" or "from" unless you plan on carving a pair.

Once you have carved your wonderful new label stamp, make some labels! Stamp in waterproof ink onto cardstock or label sticker paper. You can stop there, or you could add some color, glitter, doodles, etc. Take your time and send something you would want to keep for yourself!

Send your 4 partners enough labels to address 6 envelopes each (that is enough to mail 24 envelopes). This is NOT a bulky swap, so I am making it international. This is also NOT a profile-based swap, so you can start right away.

When you receive your new labels, you must rate a 5 as long as the sender followed the posted guidelines, whether it is in your taste or not.

Here are some examples:

sorry for being dense, but i'm not sure what these labels would look like. could you include link(s) to some examples?

cookingbear 07/23/2014 #

Updated with links! I hope they help. Basically just a frame stamp would be okay.

Thanks! That helps a lot.
