Abbie's Handcrafted Art

9 Years Ago

Greeting Card Exchange

Christmas is coming and I bought a pack of cards from a fellow member to send to my very best peeps..... don't tell them but the others get one from a pack of cheapies.... yup I'm a skinflint

anyway, it got me to thinking

as artists we get to buy our cards at base cost and, we may really love another members art.....

why not swap. Buy a card at base price, send straight to another member who is buying a card of theirs, for you.

It may be a terrible idea.... but hey, someone may love it and end up with a card they love! or even a pack!

I will buy one for someone, if anyone wants to buy one for me

Could get tricky if like 10 people all wanted the same artists work but we can work through that and just say no lol

I've been thinking something along this idea, for a very long time. A few friends here enjoy a card swap during the Holidays ( not that it has to be a holiday card )

I was thinking of purchasing the large set ( even cheaper per unit ) & then swapping with that amount of people.

Ok - Now I am bugged out - why is there a cat now instead of your face ?

 

HAHA I am trying to find a picture of my face that won't scare everyone and until then put a cat LOL

Is it just me or ... ? I can't look at your gallery, Photography and Other Jazz. When I click on your avatar it shoots me back out to the main FAA page.

Yes, I like the idea, too.

I'm only on pixels with this account... You can find me there

@Janine, that is a good idea! But then we have to choose just one image we are willing to swap...?

This is a great Idea.. I'm interested. Although I will take a little time to make some images suitable for cards worth sharing (unless anyone thinks I already have such images?..but i'm not convinced)..I will get back to you on this Abbie..

I like this idea! Count me in. But one question, are we sending blank cards (for the person to use and send ) or are we personalizing them to the person we send to?

 

I think that could be sorted one to one?

Someone may prefer a bespoke card, specially written for them and someone else a blank one?

Abbie, I LOVE parakeets, so I know which card I want from you. If I'm not understanding this correctly, let me know. I am very easily confused!

So, yes, I'm in. But only for one card, because that's about all I can afford. If this is for a pack, I can't really participate.

 

OOO yes, that sounds cool. I will contact you

 

The first cards have been chosen


Patricia and I are exchanging

Thank you Patricia for liking Charlie!!

Thanks, Abbie! That was so easy. Can't wait to get Charlie. You have given me a creative idea. Over the years, I've collected art cards here and there. I think I will now assemble a "card wall" on corkboard or something to display them in my office. I know, that sounds logical, doesn't it? Lol. Other options are framing, which I've done a few times. Since the cards are standard 5x7, it's easy to find matting and frames for them.

Fun!

 

I have a collection of wonderful cards from the artists here. I may do the same :D
