Bazzill Swaps! Ambrosia General Card Swap

To play along, create ten, handcrafted cards using your favorite patterned papers from the Ambrosia collection and coordinating Bazzill cardstock. You may use embellishments of your choice, they do not need to be Bazzill products. You only need to design one card and reproduce it until you have ten of the exact same cards (it’s okay if you need to switch up the Bazzill papers – just keep your design the same). Cards must be full size, A2 (4.25” x 5.5”) or larger. After the swap, you will have one of your original creations and nine other cards crafted by your fellow swappers. Remember to include envelopes!

When preparing your cards for mailing, please individually package each card in a ziplock bag and label it with your full name. Remember to include your full name and address in your package so your cards can be easily returned to you!

Become a registered user on the Bazzill Card Swap site and sign up for the Ambrosia (general theme) Card Swap.   Swaps are open and available for the USA and NOW Canada!
