Coins from Cards challenge

This is another one of my swaps where I send you an envelope with items inside and you must create from the supplies sent. Plus you can and should add your own stuff.

I have made 20 envelopes.

Inside you will find
1. ONE front of a greeting or note card.
These card fronts have options on where one might want to cut out a coin. I liked the cards and thought I would let you choose where to punch the coin. You are making one coin for me the hostess from the one card you receive.

2.EIGHT circle coins: 4 backgrounds with patterns like polka dots, 3 images flowers, faces, cats, dogs , and one solid color.

You will have 2 partners, Make each partner 2 coins from the coins I sent you. You will be adding your own backings, and your own embellishments.
I did enclose extra coins as a gift, and to also give you more options as you create for the two partners.

3.ONE coin that I made, it is random. Profile likes/dislikes were not taken into consideration as I made them before I posted the swap, so I could post and mail in a timely manner. 20 coins is a lot of coins. My mailing info is on the back for you to send me a coin as my hostess thank you.

I do love doing these swaps, but do need to get reimbursed for the outgoing mailing. When you send me a coin from the card enclosed please also include an unused postage stamp. I am then able to use the postage to do more challenges.

IF you are one of the 2 partners assigned to me, You will get two extra greeting card so you can make me a total of 3 cards.

The coins and cards I send are the backgrounds. You will add more things to the background from your own stash

Coins do need to be mounted on a sturdier base, such as another card, or chipboard. How you decorate or cover you back will vary, but you do need your nick name on swapbot.

Somewhere on your envelope, or your coins, or a note you need to be clear what swap: “Coins from Cards challenge”; Site:SWAP-bot.com and your swap-bot nick name. So you can be credited and get rated. Writing this info more than once on the various mentioned places would be wise. Some players do swap on other sites, therefore be clear.


In general you are making 5 coins. 1 for me from the card enclosed and 4 total for your 2 partners (2 each) from the cut coins.

I am making a coin for all 20 players.

I would say this is senders choice, but really you are somewhat limited to what I have sent. So any theme you can come up with except holidays or patriotic or politics is a go.

Your cards sent to me will be loaded to my flickr.com album with your swapbot nickname crediting your artwork. And may show up on the swapbot front page.
