  • You may sign up for up to 3 groups BUT you MUST make a different design for EACH group.
• What is a card front?
  • A standard “card front” is considered a “post card” style 5-1/2 x 4-1/4″ front of a card used for ideas. You card may vary in size (for example 6×6). However, an ATC size and tags are not acceptable substitutes.

http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=102619
2) Place each group of swap card fronts in a gallon sized zip lock bag.
IMPORTANT: Mark your NAME on each bag.
**Only include ONE Group of Swaps in each gallon ziplock bag.

3) You MUST include a SELF-ADDRESSED, POSTAGE PAID Return Envelope. I highly recommend using the USPS Flat Rate Priority envelopes. Please do not use the small priority boxes, your return swaps may not fit.

• You can use click and ship labels on USPS.com. OR go to the Post Office.
  • USPS.com asks what date you are mailing and only gives 4 days out. This date isn’t important, you can still use it on your return envelope even if it’s weeks later.
  • Please make sure return postage is attached to envelope.
  • DO NOT send money
  • DO NOT send loose postage in the envelope
  • The only thing in the envelope upon arrival should be zip locked bags with your name on them and filled with swaps. They are all opened at once and grouped anything additional in the envelope original will be thrown away.

ADDRESS WILL BE PROVIDED IN PRIVATE FB MESSAGE
