Question:
What is a swap?
Card Swaps - your responsibilities as a participant
If you have entered a swap then you will have to make sure that you make the agreed number of cards (usually 6) and keep to the required theme. You will have to make sure that you post your cards to the co-ordinator so that they reach her/him by the agreed finish date. Make sure that you understand any postage payment requirements and enclose the required postage. If you have problems meeting the requirements then don't be scared to contact the co-ordinator and either withdraw from the swap or make an arrangement with her/him. Don't forget that swaps should be fun!!!!
Card Swaps - what are they?
A lot of internet groups allow their members to participate in swaps. One person volunteers as the swap co-ordinator and they choose a "topic" for the cards and then announce it. Anyone who enters the swap has to make the number of cards required within the theme style. They then post them to the co-ordinator who "mixes" them all up and sends you back the agreed number of cards. This is a great way of seeing new techniques and ideas.
