Cancelled Postage Stamp ATC's #2
Swap Coordinator:kcfroglady (contact)
Swap categories: Paper Goods  Scrapbooking  Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:52
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:March 15, 2007
Date items must be sent by:March 23, 2007
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You will make 3 different cancelled postage stamp atcs for your partner and you will in turn get 3 back. ATC size is 3.5" x 2.5". Any medium is ok but each ATC must have a cancelled postage stamp somewhere on it. You can make it the focal point or you can make it just a portion of the overall ATC. If something happens that you can not complete the swap please withdraw before closing. Once the swap is closed you are considered as committed! Please make sure your work is neat and done with care - give only what you would like back in return. New swappers welcome - this is an easy one to test the waters with!

If you have a low rating or a history of not sending I will remove you from this swap. It is no fun to play one sided and I do not want anyone disappointed. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

The picture is a sample of one I made for a previous swap.

ohhhh kc_froglady - thank you SO much for starting this one again - I was just thrilled seeing it from way back when, but had not even heard of this wonderful place back then - can hardly WAIT - I'm new to ATC's, and have been such a fan of stamps for many years - this will be such a fun way to combine BOTH...

only an 8 day turn around? don't you think that is quite a short amount of time, especially for those of us who are involved in a lot of swaps? jmho...

user4831 03/ 3/2007 #

I was advised when I started to try to make before the SIGN UP deadline that way if 'life happens ' or you are too busy you don't sign up.. Sometimes too long a turn around can make me complacent.It doesn't work with large numbers tho!!!!!...Caz

kcfroglady 03/ 3/2007 #

turn around time is the time to mail - you can start making them now :) The beauty of these kind of ATC swaps is it is not basedon anything from the partner so you don't have to wait to know who it is before making them :) I don't like long turn arounds either and although most swaps I do for a 2 week period I thought this one pretty simple and a week was enough time.~~~Karyn

Love this swap theme! I did the Christmas and swap #1 used postage on swap-bot. Plus I have done this theme on 2 other groups. I am getting quite the collection now. And last but not least- one of my friends is doing one next month so I must start thinking about that one.

CraftyDiana 03/10/2007 #

I'm so excited for this swap..I have TONS of used stamps from US and international!

P.S. Please check out my "Tiny Paper Squares" swap..it's the first time that I've ever hosted one so hopefully lots of people will sign up! :-) Thank you, Diana

I agree that this is such a neat "theme" for atc's, that it's just fun to have quite a stash ready-made - I had SO much fun making the three needed for THIS swap that I went ahead and made seven MORE - I am new to atc's, and wasn't really sure if I liked my own (my own worst critic probably and all that!) - but these are just so much fun and what wonderful "themes" can be found on the variety of stamps! Mine are ready to be sent as soon as we get our partners, I hope they like them, have a good week, MaryB

user5486 03/12/2007 #

Hi..I just signed up for this one. I have never done ATC's before but have been wanting to try. This one seems like the perfect start. I have been doing Deco friendship books for years which is very similar. I am going to start working on my cards now...

kcfroglady 03/16/2007 #

I was not home last night so did not get to assign partners I am checking the newbies out now and will assign them as soon as I can! (it is now Friday afternoon EST)

Karyn

kcfroglady 03/16/2007 #

Partners assigned now :) I removed a couple people for bad swap ratings under different user names and also for having no profile at all filled out. I hope everyone follows through with their committment and makes this a fun swap!

Karyn

kcfroglady 03/17/2007 #

I have put my ATC's in the mail and also uploaded a picture to the gallery :) Looking forward to seeing others upload theirs too!

Thanks, Karyn

gramsbuttonbox 03/19/2007 #

atc's winging their way to vacaville, ca - Gayle, I sure hope you enjoy them.

This was such a GREAT swap - being new to atc's, I had no idea that they could be this much fun! So now I'm addicted I think.....~smile~

have a great week everyone, MaryB

CraftyDiana 03/19/2007 #

Hey Poggy123- I just received your wonderful ATCs. I do appreciate that extra surprise. They are all just beautiful. I have tried to choose a favorite - but I can't. I love them all. I'll give you a rating as soon as I can. Thanks again, Joan

Grandma Roro, glad you liked my ATC's.

123Poggy123 03/24/2007 #

I received 3 lovely ATC's & she typed on the back what she did on the ATC's. Will give a heart at rating time for this swap.

rehuxley 03/25/2007 #

Hi Carolyn,

I am your partner on the canceled stamps ATC swap. I sent out the exchange to you but forgot to click the button that said I sent them on swap bot. All is well and you should recieve your ATC's soon. Thanks for playing.

Ron

grandmaroro 03/25/2007 #

How very embarrassing! I received a reminder that I had not sent my items, but I did. I forgot to post it. They were sent on the 21st, close to deadline, but I wasn't late. I did email my partner a couple times explaining my delay.

Toni, I do hope you have received the cards. Happy Spring, Joan.

Missysmom 03/25/2007 #

Received your lovely pkg. Margot from UK. Love the little ATC envelopes. What a good idea. And as usual, I love my new postals to add to the collection. I have started a new book just for them as I seem to be getting quite a few now. I wish swapbot would open the ratings page as soon as the swap date was official. Some people send very promptly and it would be nice to be able to post the ratings when we received- then we wouldn't forget to post ratings- just a tho't.

PostMuse 03/25/2007 #

Many thanks to Panda (Gailey in HI) for the beautiful ATCs. It is hard to believe you are a beginner. Each of these cards is beautifully crafted and original. And I love the bee notecard :-)

Panda 03/26/2007 #

Angel Faery Kathleen!

Got your 3 lovely ATCs today! Great job on them they are all different but go go together well. Thank you!

kcfroglady 03/27/2007 #

Deborah - I got your ATC's today! They are fabulous! I love the Dr. Suess one! The one with the giraffe's is too cool also what did you use for the copper?and then a ship one and also a fish under sea! Thanks for the bonus these are great!

Karyn

deedeenet 03/27/2007 #

Karyn, I used copper embossing powder. Doesn't it look like real melted copper! I learn so much from you from your other swap, I get inspired to try different things.

www.splitcoaststampers.com has some great picture tutorials that I've learned from.

123Poggy123 03/27/2007 #

Grandma Roro, I am glad you liked your ATC's. Thank you for letting me know you received them.

deedeenet 03/28/2007 #
