Description:

This is based on a similar Christmas swap of the same type. Thanks to craftynana for the original idea.

This swap is to exchange 14 ATCs or cards with one partner. You can do postcards or greeting cards instead of ATCs if you want to put more effort into it, but only ATCs are required. The ATCs/cards should be Valentine's Day themed. They can be vintage, glittery, modern, song-inspired, or anything pertaining to love, romance, or valentines. They do not have to have the word Valentines or Love in them, but if not, they should so clearly reflect the theme that there is no doubt they could be confused as anything else.

These are for high quality ATCs or cards. They need to be on a solid substrate, and obviously have some effort put into them. Stickers are allowed, but cannot be the main focus of the ATCs/cards. Do not just slap a sticker on a piece of paper or doodle a little bit and call it done.

If sending ATCs, they need to be in some sort of protector for mailing. Individual ATC pouches are fine, as are the pages designed for holding baseball cards. You can also get creative and design your own holder, as long as the cards are protected for mailing.

If sending greeting cards, they need to include envelopes so your partner can then use them. If sending post cards, please be sure they meet the requirements of a standard post card.

The ATCs/cards do not need to be profile specific. This is sender's choice, as long as they meet the theme.

No newbies allowed. You must have at least 5 completed (rated) craft/package type swaps under your belt by the swap deadline to participate. No nosends or 3s in the past 6 months. Must have at least a 4.8 to participate. If you do not meet the swap requirements and there are special reasons why you think you should be allowed to participate, please message me and we'll chat. No flakers allowed!

I am willing to lower the number of cards for this swap if anyone thinks it would be helpful. We could cut it in half and call for 7 instead of 14. Thoughts?

PrettyPoetStacy 12/15/2009 #

I like the idea of 14. :)

PLEASE, ONLY ATC'S FOR ME!!

I do not collect postcards or greeting cards.

Thank you.

Hi PrettyPoetStacy. Unfortunately this is sender's choice. I would think most people who sign up will do ATCs, but since it is sender's choice, you must be prepared that you could receive greeting cards or post cards instead. if enough people prefer ATCs, I would be willing to change it to an ATC only swap. Please let me know what people's thoughts are on this...

I prefer just ATCs, but I'm OK with receiving greeting cards or postcards (don't collect them either) I will be sending just ATCs..... I'm OK with either 7 or 14... would be nice to have a few more people in the swap, so I'm in... just let me know if any changes are made. Thanks!

I'm wondering if others are thinking about joining the swap. I would like to start making the cards now, but want to make sure that the swap will go on...

Turtle 12/28/2009 #

I will join. Do we send one a day or all at once?

PrettyPoetStacy 12/31/2009 #

I'm just going to make all mine and send them out before the 15th, so the person will get a nice little package of 14 valentines. I am going to try to send around the 10th so my partner will get the valentines before or on valentines day. And...I am going to make all ATC's so I hope that's ok. :)

Hi everyone. Thanks for your questions. Sorry for the delay in assigning partners; I was out of town and my sister's internet wasn't working.

To answer some of the questions: --We send all the ATCs at once. I think 14 would be nice to do, and that is what I currently have the swap set for, so please send 14.

--Please keep in mind that the send date for this swap is January 15, not February. So if you send your cards by January 15, then your partner should definitely receive them in time for Valentine's day.

--If you want to send any additional Valentine's goodies to your partner, you aare welcome to do so, but it is not required. If your partner sends you 14 cards, that meet the theme of Valentine's day, then please rate them a 5.

Happy swapping!
