simple washi strips postcards-summer-USA only

=I did this washi tape postcard swap for Autumn and Christmas and received beautiful postcards, so I want to try hosting again!

=I have a ton of washi tapes. Some of my washi tapes are limited edition and out of production or not too long to begin with, so I don't really want to do sample swaps, but still want to share the designs. Washi strip (swatch?) postcards seem to be the best way, they don't use up too much of the tape but still manages to share their beauty with others. Also, they are not time consuming like washi tape art.

For this swap:

=4 partners, 1 postcard: 1 partner

=use your summer themed washi tapes. For me, summer is means ocean, beach, sea life, fruits, summer flowers like lily, lotus, sunflower, and etc. How about you?

=Use as many different designs as you can. Try to use the tapes you are reluctant to use in longer tape swaps!

=swatch your washi tape strips horizontally, vertically, or diagonally across a standard postcard size cardstock (around 4x6 inches). By cardstock, I mean blank cardstock that is thick enough to send out as postcard, but don't use an actual postcard as your base because the picture and washi tape will overlap.

=if your washi tapes aren't really sticky, put double sided tapes on the edges so the tapes won't come off.

=send the cards as postcards without envelope. only 36 cents to send 4x6 postcards. write a nice message :) or explain why you picked the washi tapes for this theme.

= USA only due to postage

=rating requirement: 4.98 no recent unexplained 1's or 3's . Please don't join if you know your postal system isn't working too well lately.
