USA Recycle Those Christmas Cards!

This is a swap I created for my group, USA Upcycle/Recycle Crafting Fun, but I wanted to see if there was any interest from the general swap-bot users for this fun recycling challenge. Don't throw away those Christmas cards you got!!! Let's craft with them instead. Upcycle/recycle a Christmas card and turn it into a work of art for your partner. You can make anything you want and use any medium you want as long as it is made from a recycled Christmas card. Have fun and be creative! Looking at your partner's profile doesn't hurt, but this is sender's choice of what you want to make.

No sticker slapping! This does not mean you can't use stickers, but do not just put stickers down on your project and call it good. They have to be incorporated into the design and make a cohesive art piece. Do your best work – send something that you would love to receive yourself.

Include with your swap the swap title and your swap ID.

No 1's or 3's in the last year with no previous history of unexplained 1's or 3's. You must have at least a 4.9 rating to participate in this swap.

This swap is sender's choice, so if you are very specific about what you can and cannot receive or have a list of dislikes a mile long, this swap is not for you!

Rate your partner upon receipt of your swap. No one should have to hunt down a rating! In my opinion, non-raters are just as bad as flakers!

If you receive the swap and it meets the swap requirements, you must rate a 5 even if it is not your style or something you personally like. Hearts are available if you absolutely loved the swap and thought it was amazing! A 3 rating is for swaps that do not meet requirements or that are late. Please do not be the “Swap Police!” You don't need to investigate every detail of a swap to see if it “cleared the rules” or look at postmarks hoping to catch someone mailing a day late! If it is obvious fine, but don't be petty and go looking for minor “infractions!” A 1 rating is if you did not receive your swap. I will angel those who do not receive a swap I host after they have tried to resolve the situation with their swap partner and are unable to resolve the problem and after they have rated their partner a 1.

Please be kind and respectful – no drama! Swap-bot is supposed to be fun! :)
