I love to share with you, and I love when you share with me. Yippee Doodle Dee! I’m happy to announce the first One-for-One card swap of 2016! If you have never participated in one of my card swaps before, now’s your chance. You don’t have to make 20 cards or 10 cards or even 5 cards. You just make one card and mail it to me with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. In return, you’ll soon receive another card in the mail – and it will likely come from someone you don’t know. How fun is that?! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Here’s how it works:
You mail the following to me:
- a handmade card (a standard 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card) designed by YOU. Please make every effort to use products from the current Stampin’ Up! catalogs.
- a self-addressed, stamped envelope (just fold one in half and include it with your card).
- a wad of cold, hard cash (not required)
Please don’t write on the inside of your card so that the recipient can use it (if they choose to), but feel free to stamp your name on the back. I will gather the cards I receive and will mix them up and mail them out so that everyone who sends me a card will receive a card in return. Oh, glorious day!
I must limit participation to one card per person and (sadly) to folks in the US address – I’ve tried to include other countries in the past, but the mail took too long to get here and get back to the participants. Sorry – I don’t like for people to be disappointed – so thanks for understanding.
Mail your card and stamped, return envelope to:
Brian King
1758 Colt Drive
Atlanta, GA 30341
Please mail them as soon as you can – but make sure they arrive by Friday, April 22 – that’s a little more than TWO weeks away. That’s when I will sort them and then mail them out. I will also include photos of some of the cards on my blog (giving proper credit to the creator, of course).

Yeah, Yippie! This is how I got my start . . . in sharing my cards. I joined your card swap . . . it may have been your first one. (About 2014).
I look forward to your swaps Brian! I am sure they are a lot of work and THANKS for doing them for us.
🙂
That makes me so happy to hear, Nancy! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these swaps and look forward to seeing what you make for this one. 🙂
I’m in. I have been back in my craft room and creating cards that would make you proud! Can’t wait to share.
Couldn’t be more proud. 🙂 Thanks, Kelly!
The one for one swap is a lot of fun. The anticipation of receiving a card in return, and i cant wait to see all the cards posted on Brian’s blog. It’s like Christmas morning! Can’t wait. I’m n!!!
Awesome! I am so happy, Helen – and thanks for encouraging others to join in. 🙂
Awesome..thanks for organizing again this fun swap Brain! I will be getting mine off this week!
Can’t wait to see what you make, Windy! <3
Oh, so happy you are doing another card swap. Woohoo, I’m in!
Intriguing idea. Sounds fun!
So much fun, Mary! Won’t you join in?
Brian hosts an awesome swap, amazingly creative and a lot of fun. Count me in again.
Woo hoo! Awesome, Robyn!
Been following you for a while Brian and I really want to try this swap with you and see what happens.
You won’t regret it, Carla! <3
Always fun ! Have met some of my monthly “Swap Buddies” through Brian`s swaps . Nice welcome into Spring !!
I look forward to receiving your card, Sonny! I know how much you love these swaps.
I am in. Ms ‘Wait til the last minute’ has already put it in my mailbox…red flag is up! Thanks for doing this. I have some time off that week to help you if you need it. I have a feeling this will be a biggie!!!
Woo hoo! Way to be prepared, Pammie Pam! I’m already on the lookout.
Brian’s card swaps are a lot of fun! I am getting my card ready today. Thanks Brian for hosting this again this year.
What fun! Can’t wait to receive your card, Sharon!
YAY!
🙂
Sign me up! 🙂 Cathy
No need to sign up, Cathy! Just drop your card in the mail to me. <3
Just put mine in the mail! Now, the dreaded anticipation!
Dreaded? That sounds not fun, but I know your card will be great!
I’m IN; I love these card swaps. It’ll be my 3rd swap, and am looking forward to sharing.
Word to the Wise: give lots of mailing time. For some reason, 7 days in transit (from CA) has not been ample time to make the deadline. ?
Yay, Flo! Glad you are joining in again. I’ll be on the lookout for your cross-country greeting. 🙂
WOO HOO!! Thank you Brian, this is always so much fun, love participating in your Spring Card Swaps.
I can’t wait to see all of the cards on your blog.
This is a great way to make friends!!!
Maria – I knew you’d like this announcement. Can’t wait to see what you make.

Count me in as well. This will be the first time I have joined in. I am a hobby stamper for fun but a crafter at heart. My card is going out today. Thank you for doing this for everyone. Ab
I’m thrilled you will join us, Ann! It’s a lot of fun to receive all these cards and just as fun to share them.
I’m in…can’t wait to send one to you and to receive one back!!! I’m excited Brian, love your cards!
Thanks, Carole Anne! Just to be clear – you’ll be receiving a card from one of the other participants and some lucky participant will be receiving yours. I’ll participate in the swap, but I won’t be making cards for everyone. 🙂 Glad you are joining in!
I’m in…any theme?
Deb – The theme is “Spring”. It can be just about anything. <3
Sounds fabulous! Count me in….my wheels are turning. Thank for hosting.
Hi Brian! Is the swap open to anyone, or just demonstrators?
Thanks,
Adrienne
Adrienne – the swap is open to ANYONE who wants to participate. 🙂 I hope you will join in. <3
That is AWESOME!!!! My card is on the way!
Thanks for organizing another swap! I was proud as ever when you featured my swap card from last spring on your blog. Happy stamping everyone! Smiles, Brenda
Perfect timing! I have an order coming in tomorrow with new stamp sets! What a great time to try!
Is there still room Brian? I’d like to join!
Whoops! Ignore this…I just re-read…it’s limited to on card per person…not limited to a certain # of people! SORRY!
This will be my first ever swap and I can hardly wait! I will be sending my card in this week. So fun to see what I get in the mail.
I sent my card, can’t wait to see what comes in the mail/.
Sign me up! However I made my card without looking at the instructions! (typical Jayne). Made mine 5×7. I may do it again but will have to cut out a bunch of the embossing…..OR I may do a different one… Looks like fun!
