New P&P Postcard
Cut postcard weight paper postcard size
Divide the front side of the PC into 3 or 4 equal sections.
Decorate section 1. The postcard may eventually be mailed naked so securely adhere items to your section.
Turn the PC over, and address the postcard to yourself.
Note: Do not include postage just in case your postcard ends up mailed outside of Canada for another Pass & Paste swap.
Divide the other part of the back of the postcard into separate writing areas. If you decorated section 1 on the front side...then you will write in section 1 on the backside. This is where you leave a your username and date, and anything else if there's room.
Mail the postcard, in an envelope, to your partner.
Established P&P Postcard
If you are using a postcard you have received from another Pass & Paste swap, decorate one of the empty sections and then put it in an envelope and send it to your partner.
If you get assigned a partner who has already worked on that PC, then hold it and send it in the next round to a different partner or please send it to me. Start a new PC.
If you are assigned the creator of the postcard as a partner, do not send them their unfinished postcard. Start a new PC.
If you send your partner a homer (last section) postcard it should be to a Canadian address, so postage is within Canada.
Finish
The goal is to have each space filled out by a different artist, and then sent home to the originator.
When you receive a postcard with only one empty square left, decorate it and mail it back naked or in a clear protective sleeve, to the original creator. Their name and mailing info should be on the card already. You will need to add the proper postage stamp.
If you receive an unfinished Pass & Paste postcard please always send it on, even if you decide not to participate any longer. You can send it to me and I will send it on. That way everyone should eventually get their postcard back.
If the finished PC is particularly fragile, lumpy, or things not adhered well, or wet weather is an issue, go ahead and send in a sleeve or envelope, though naked is preferred.
