Description:

I recently discovered "altered rolodex cards" and think they could be a good version of ATCs. There is no theme for this swap but look at your partners' profiles to see what their interests are. For this swap you will have two partners and will make two cards for each of them. So you will make a total of 4 altered rolodex cards. If you would like to make more for your partners that is great too!

Materials: You will use the standard 4 inch by 2 1/4 inch rolodex card. Use something sturdy for the base of the card so that it does not flop over. Use a variety of materials and embellishments such as brads, ribbons, stickers, and chipboard. Be creative! Just to be on the safe side, if you are not using a regular rolodex card leave the bottoms unpunched. This way your partner will be able to adapt them to whatever rolodex they have.

This is an international swap because these should be very inexpensive to mail.

A rating of 4.7 or better is required for this swap. Newbies are welcome as long as they have a full profile. I will check all profiles for potential flakers.

P.S. this the first swap that I organize so I will edit this if I have missed anything.

I would say decorate both sides if you can.

i usually decorate similar to atc backs --- a very light continuation of the theme, with my contact information

I'd like to join, but the timing is bad for me. I couldn't get them done by the 10th. But I would like to be in the swap if you run it again. Please let me know if you do!
