Comment on What I like about Index Cards by Jessica

Oh, I’m a nut about index cards too! I like to write art ideas on them and put them into a greeting card for my sister. Lately, I’ve been thinking that I’d like to use the index cards more than my “idea” notebook… we’ll see, I’ll probably use both!

Your cards are lovely… like little scrapbook pages!

Hello Janice, because everyone is welcome there is a huge variety of people in the swap. Some are quilters, others artists but most of us happy amateurs that dabble in a little of this and a little of that. The outcome of the postcard can be anything that you like, as long as its from the heart it will be welcomed! To your question, should it be a regular postcard or an art piece? Why not both? I have done a collage on one side, and then a "regular postcard backside" with the address and a message to the receiver. If your card is fragile you could put it in a envelope, but you don't have to! For the first year of this swap, I made free printable postcard backsides, you can find them here on the blog. Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Hanna,
I signed up for the Postcard Swap and I’m so excited about participating. I guess in my excited state, I wasn’t thinking clearly and I failed to send you my postal address on the note in PayPal. How do I get that info to you?

Melanie, you’re fine! There is a sign-up page after the paypal payment is set but not everyone is re-directed, not sure why. But I’ve got your information through paypal, postal address and e-mail, so I use that and everything is okay! Just make sure to check the email address that you’re using through paypal because that’s the one I will send your 10 addresses to!

To everyone else: make sure you have the correct addresses at your paypal account before signing up! Or add it in the message field there. Thank you!

I am a “newbie”, discovering myself artistically each day. I stumbled upon your website tonight
while searching for art journaling ideas, and saw the info about this postcard swap. I decided I want to just go
for it, and just Do It!! So, whoever ends up with mine will have to realize these will be a beginners attempt!
My question is, do I make the back like a regular postcard, or an art piece? I assume that we mail the postcards in another
envelope. Sorry for the long message!
Janice

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to be doing this again. I LOVED the cards I got in return and my mixed media cards I did last year kicked off a year of really exploring paper, paint, glue, etc. for me. Thanks for doing it again!
