Card Makers Card Swap: December Handmade Greeting Card Swap

Card Swap Group

Not familiar with a card swap? It basically consists of designing a card and then making multiples of that exact card for each person in the swap group. Our swap group is going to be capped at 10 participants. If there are not 10 participants, then the remaining cards will be donated to the Friends of the Perry Public Library to be sold as a fundraiser. You will receive a card from each member of the group for that month (9 cards or less). Each month will have a different swap theme and a voluntary technique challenge. The themes will be listed below for the individual months. There will be a general theme and then a voluntary technique challenge to incorporate into your themed design.

What You Need to Do to Participate:

Step 1: Pre-Register to Participate

This is your commitment to the swap group. This program will only work if people participate after registering for the Card Swap Group.

Step 2: Make 10 Identical Cards with Envelopes

Suggested standard finished A2 size cards 5-½" X 4-¼".

Step 3: Bring Your 10 Cards with Envelopes to the Library on the Swap Day and Time

Swap Day will be held monthly on the dates listed below at 12:30 pm in the Library Community Room following the monthly Paper Crafting with Kathy.
