Bride Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 If you are a tactile person - like me - then I know you will LOVE making and receiving Hybrid ATC's! We use our digital supplies and add to them little bits of embellishments (buttons, ribbons, charms, glitter - the list is as endless as your imagination!) to decorate and add dimension to these "mini-beauties". Typically we make 9 ATC's, keep one for yourself and mail in 8, then you would receive 8 back. This may change slightly depending how many sign up. Sign Up: If you want to join the swap, please sign up below. I'll send you a private message with my mailing address. The first 8 people who respond in this thread are in the swap. I'll be the 9th person. If more than 9 sign up I have a couple of back-up plans (making additional groups or making a few extra cards) as long as you meet the sign-up deadline. Sign-up deadline for this round is 11:00 PM January 3rd! Once we determine the amount of cards to make in the group, you have 19 days to make and mail your cards to me. I would like to receive them on or before JANUARY 24. This gives me a little cushion in case the postal services cause us some issues. Mailing: Please include a self addressed return envelope big enough to hold your ATC's for the return trip and loose US postage stamps in the amount you used to mail it to me plus a couple of extra in case some are heavier for the return trip. I'll send back any unused postage. Mailing Tips: We have found that the best way to mail ATC's is in this format: buy baseball trading card page holders. These are 8 1/2" x 11" pages with 9 pockets in them. If you put your 8 ATC's in the pockets and your loose postage in the last pocket they will travel well. Then, you can fold up the page in thirds and it fits in a legal sized envelope. This saves on postage costs and they arrive safe and sound. (Don't forget that self-addressed return envelope!) You may want to tape the envelope closed to assure it doesn't come open. Always include your return address just in case. When your swap comes back to you, add your ATC to the remaining holder and now you have a sheet of ATC's to add to your ATC binder or start a new ATC binder. The theme for this swap is "VALENTINE GREETINGS". Our Hybrid ATC Chat is scheduled for Tuesday, February 8th, with Shannon (tinkerbell11) and I as your hosts. It is our goal to have these ATC's back to you before chat night. This can happen if everyone honors the deadlines to the best of their abilities. If you have any questions at all, feel free to PM me! I'm excited to see the creative Valentine Cards you talented ladies send!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I got your PM, Lei! I have my cards started and printed out. I'll try to assemble them tomorrow, but I know I still need to get another item for them. I got inspired yesterday and couldn't resist acting on it!
