simple washi strips postcards-pattern-USA

=I have a ton of washi tapes. Some of my washi tapes are limited edition and out of production or not too long to begin with, so I don't want to do sample swaps, but still want to share the designs. Washi strip (swatch?) postcards seem to be the best way, they don't use up too much of the tape but still manage to share their beauty with others. Also, they are not time consuming like washi tape art.

For this swap:

=4 partners, 1 postcard: 1 partner

=use your patterned washi tapes. This one is going to be easy, any sort of patterns: strips, dots, geometric, zentangle, any repetitious pattern. My examples: 1 2

=swatch your washi tape strips horizontally, vertically, or diagonally across a standard postcard size cardstock (around 4x6 inches). By cardstock, I mean blank cardstock that is thick enough to send out as postcard, but don't use an actual postcard as your base because the picture and washi tape will overlap. I also tried glossy photo paper, the tapes stick really well on those, and they are thick enough.

=if your washi tapes aren't really sticky, put double sided tapes on the edges so the tapes won't come off.

=send the cards as postcards WITHOUT envelope, even if you get same partner for another swap of this series. only 36 cents to send 4x6 postcards. write a nice message :) or explain why you picked the washi tapes for this theme.

= USA only due to postage, you are welcome to host international version if you like

=rating requirement: 4.98 no recent unexplained 1's or 3's . Please don't join if you know your postal system isn't working too well lately.
