Create a see through postcard aka packing tape or clear tape postcard.

Once there was a tutorial by Kim Collister. But it isn't available anymore.

I made a little tutorial with pictures you can find here

Get an impression here or here

Basically construct a frame out of paper or cardboard. Or cut the frame out of cardboard and cover it with paper. Add some collage elements. It helps when the collage elements are overlapping a bit. Or are connected to the frame. Cover the card completely with tape, front and back.

Tipp: Place a bigger element where the address on the back goes and where the stamp will be placed.

If you like to make the card a little sturdier, you also can use a thin clear plastic sheet (e.g. the sheets which clear rubber stamps stick to when you purchase them) as the base, and then cover it with tape. - Thank you @wolfeagle for the additional idea

There won't be much space for a message. Make sure that you add at least the swap name and your user name.

Try to send it naked (it works!).

Requirements:

  • You have to be online at least two days before the sign up deadline. Or notice me beforehand.
