Receiving a handmade card is a wonderful gift. Receiving a handmade card with an extra gift is extra special. For this swap we are going to make cards that include an extra gift as part of the design of the card.

The extra gift could be a bookmark, a pendant, a hair clip, earrings, a teabag, an ATC, tree ornament, suncatcher, or anything that fits into the design of the card while being a removable gift.

-The minimum card size is 4.5 inches by 5.5 inches (11.4 cm by 14 cm).
-The extra gift must be removable from the card and the card must be able to remain in tact once the gift is removed.

Fabulous idea! I am not sure I can create a personalized card within the two weeks between the end of sign-up and send by date, so I am holding off signing up, but I am watching this swap :-)

Please ignore the November 30, 1999 sign up date listed above. I changed the title so that it no longer said "edited" and for some reason it messed up the date that was listed.

I posted scans of my two cards on my flickr pages under the set titled Notecards with Gifts.

As I understand this swap, I sent the cards to my partners unmarked, with matching envelope, so they can use them to send to someone else.

I put pictures of my cards on my Flickr account too.
