Wow!
Found this cute Fabriano`s Watercolor paper postcard set. Love it! Sturdy enough to sent without envelope. ( i think )
For sure; someone is going to get a selfmade ( painted/ drawing) postcard from me 
(of course, only if the profile says selfmade is OK)
*behind is my work in progress *
I just finished a themed series of cards using watercolor, collage and stamps. As a psychotherapist I often notice that people in depression can go through stages, so I made this series which represents that.
Dark Matter
What Hugs Mean
Staying Strong
Stand Up
In Full Bloom
I wonder who else has made some interesting theme series?
@TwasBrillig I really love these (what a beautiful and affirming way to mark that journey)! I hope that if others have gotten into making theme series that they will post them! I’m so inspired 
Stunning!!! Love each one of these!!!
I love knowing about this - thank you!
Both of these that you’ve posted are incredible!!
Thank you very much!
Hello!
I have a question.
How can I exchange handmade cards with people who post in this thread? I make cards with nice origami paper and my handmade carved stamps and would love to exchange handmade cards with people in this thread.
I know there is a trade thread but the thread moves so fast with other card requests, plus many people in that trade thread may not care about exchanging handmade cards. I have the feeling I would not have a good luck in that trade thread as no one has responded to me when I posted in that thread asking for a handmade card exchange.
So, my question is would it be okay to create a new thread in this handmade section to look for people who can exchange handmade cards with me ?
If not, what else can I do to be able to exchange handmade cards with people in this thread ?
Thank you!
I’ve sent a few home-made cards over the years, not just the cereal box type either. Some are images I’ve found in magazines, some I’ve stitched, some are stamp collages made with stamps that are no good to collectors (ripped or chipped or marked with texta or pen instead of being cancelled properly, occasionally stuck on with stickytape). A few are ones of photos I’ve taken and gotten printed through vistaprint.
I made this Totoro ( AU-823111) using up leftover diamenties from a “diamond art” picture I was given for Christmas. I hate throwing out anything I can re-use or re-invent like this. That’s why I recently made these stamp collage cards. The stamps are worthless (ripped, chipped etc) but the card (also up-cycled!) was fun to make!
I hope you all enjoyed my little meander through home-made fun. I’ve also sent a lot of cross-stitched cards. They can take a little effort to make but are worth it I think.
Browsing this topic has given me a few ideas for all those little scraps of paper I have left over but are still too nice to throw away too! Thank you!
Hi @pray4me
Thank you, I knew about the tag but it moves rather slowly, right?
I would like to send more than one handmade card to multiple people at once at least a couple times a week.
What should I do now ?
I think we should have a 5 food package tag where you send 5 food package postcards you show the ones you can send? people pick if they want them written and or blank?
I have so many and yes it goes slow
As for tags, I was told we cannot create any tag threads in this handmade section. We need an appoval by the moderators if we want to create other tag threads in tag section.
By the way, my handmade cards are made with origami paper and my handmade carved stamps, not food package cards, though
I already showed my cards in this thread above, but here are the examples again - Would anyone like to swap with me ? Please message me!
