Description:

Use your stash of prints to create some embellishments for your 2 partners. They can be punched or stamped or... ? I ran out of ideas at that point but I'm always on the look out for cool additions for my ATCs and mail art. If you send stamped images on gelli-print, please use waterproof ink and cut them out.

Send at least ten items your partner can use, and by that I mean, don't make them too big to fit on an envelope or ATC, nor too small so they get lost. If you are sending multi-part items, include a little bit of instruction on how to assemble or put it all together before you send it. (Example is a house with different parts like roof, door, windows etc.)

Theme and color are sender's choice. Please mail on time and rate promptly upon receipt.

So excited about this swap!

I sent the swap coordinator a message about clarifying the requirements for cutting the stamped images and about the size requirement. I want to make sure what I send my partner meets requirements.

If you are sending to me- and making a stamped gelli print-I would prefer to do the detailed cutting of the image myself so you don't have to do that. Also-I would accept stamped images that are larger than an ATC, as I do more art journaling than ATC-making these days. :) Thanks!

A bit of clarification on size and cutting. Size should be no smaller than an inch or larger than a 5x7 envelope could handle. By cutting out the image that is stamped I meant that images shouldn't have to be trimmed unless the recipient wants to change them. I personally prefer a small margin around the image so it looks neat. This is what I had in my mind when I wrote the swap description. However all the directions are subject to your interpretation. Just send something nice and not sloppy. If you can't cut neatly it is better to leave a larger margin than to cut too closely and end up with something unusable.Don't feel you have to fussy cut details.
