Default Thank You Cards Swap-Gone Postal-Yipee! :)

Thank You Card SwapSince I had so much fun hosting the alternate opening card swap I decided to host another one. Since the holidays are fast approaching I thought it might be nice to have some extra Thank You notes around. They do not have to be holiday themed, as long as they are thank you cards.

Description: Full card. The cards do not need to measure 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", but they should be able to fit into the standard invitation envelope. Also, please include at least two layers and one embellishment (such as glitter, ribbon, brads, eyelets, etc.).

Quantity: 5+1 This means you send in 6 cards of the same design, and you will receive 5 different cards back. You can sign up for multiple slots, but must make a different card for each slot. I'll add as many spots as requested!

Vendor products: By popular demand, this will be a NO VENDOR REQUIREMENT (NVR) swap. Please use papers and products that are comparable to Stampin' Up!'s quality though.

Recipe: not required, but if you choose to do so, please include your real name, SCS Name, and products and techniques used.

Please sign your card backs (even if you choose not to send a recipe) so we know who to gush to when we get your awesome card!

Deadlines: Sign up by: November 1st. Due in my hands on or before November 14. I will not hold the swap back for late arrivals. If you determine that you can’t do the swap, just let me know on this thread, or send a Private Message (PM). Late cards will be returned unopened .

Mailing instructions
Packaging:
Place swap items in a large baggie for waterproof purposes. Write your real name, SCS name, and address (in case the envelope gets torn open by the delicate services of the USPS) on a piece of paper and include in the baggie for identification purposes.
First Class: Place baggie inside a self-addressed stamped envelope for return mail purposes. The amount of postage on your SASE should be the same amount that it takes to mail to the swap hostess. To ensure that enough postage will cover the returned swap items, include additional postage which will be returned if not used. Do NOT use metered mail postage on your return envelope, use actual postage stamps only.
Priority: Inside your baggie, include a self-addressed priority label and one priority stamp. I will provide the priority return envelope. Place your baggie and/or SASE envelope inside your mailing envelope. When you are ready to mail your swaps, PM me and I will give you my address.

Swap Return: I will have return swaps in the mail to you on November 21.

Any questions, please post them here or PM me! Thanks and happy stamping!

This swap sounds great - but I must catch up a bit with my other swaps before committing. I'm subscribing for now and hope to be able to join soon.

I'll take one for now (unless everyone hated my "you're the queen" card from the last swap).

I don't know how you expect peple to finish swaps with these tight deadlines though.

I posted and/or linked to all the cards from the last swap I hosted on my blog. If you get a chance take a peek, they turned out awesome!
