What is Card Swap?

A card swap is when you enter a selected challenge that is offered by the host. Each person who is entered in the challenge comes up with a card design that fits the challenge criteria. Multiple copies of your design are made by you equivalent to the amount of members in the group. Your entries are then submitted to the host who will collate the cards and send them out to all the participants in the challenge.

So if there are 8 members in the challenge you would need to make 1 design by 8 and send them in. In return you will receive 8 different cards back, all meeting the specified criteria. The aim is to share ideas, techniques and to build your collection of samples to help you with you own card making. There is no level of experience required as we are all learning and have different areas of expertise, and there is NO COPYRIGHT!!!

Only submit ideas that you are happy to share with others, and you will need to include your name and a brief list of the products/techniques you have used, so that others can replicate the designs. With each challenge there is an unspoken expectation that all reasonable effort will be taken by each contributor. Please don’t feel that you MUST take part if your heart’s not in it!!!
