Let’s Swap Happy Mail – My Summer 2026 One-for-One Card Swap

I love sharing with you, and I love when you share with me. That’s why I’m so excited to announce the first One-for-One Card Swap of 2026!

If you’ve never participated in one of my card swaps before, this is the perfect opportunity. You don’t have to make 20 cards, 10 cards or even 5 cards. Just create one handmade card and mail it to me with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. In return, you’ll receive another handmade card in the mail – one that’s likely from someone you’ve never met. How fun is that?! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

One-for-One Card Swap – Summer 2026

We officially welcomed Summer this week, and I’m ready to celebrate everything the season has to offer – bright flowers, beautiful colors, nature and summer adventures. That’s why we’re kicking off the Summer 2026 One-for-One Card Swap!

There’s no specific theme for this swap. Birthday cards, sympathy cards, floral cards and everything in between are welcome. (Let’s save the holiday cards for the Holiday One-for-One Swap later this year.) We’d love to see the beautiful new products you’ve been creating with from the May-August 2026 Catalog and the recent Online Exclusives launches. If you’re a demonstrator, we’d especially love a peek at the July 2026 Online Exclusives!

Are you excited?! I know you are! Here’s how this works…

How It Works

Please mail me the following:

• One handmade card (a standard 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card) designed by you. Please make every effort to use products currently available from Stampin’ Up! (no retired or Sale-A-Bration products, please). Your card doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful.
• One self-addressed, stamped envelope. Simply fold it in half and tuck it inside your mailing envelope.

Please don’t write inside your card so the recipient can use it if they choose. Feel free to stamp or sign your name on the back.

Once all of the cards have arrived, I’ll mix them up and send everyone a different card in return. Oh, glorious day!

Participation is limited to one card per person and, unfortunately, to U.S. mailing addresses only. I’ve tried including other countries in the past, but international mail simply takes too long to make the round trip.

Please mail your card and return envelope to:

Brian King

1758 Colt Drive

Atlanta, GA 30341

Please mail your card soon, but make sure it arrives by Friday, July 10. That gives you two weeks to dream up your masterpiece and get it in the mail. Once all the cards have arrived, I’ll sort them, send them back out and share photos of every card here on my blog – giving full credit to each creator, of course.

Who’s in? There’s no sign-up required. Just pop your card in the mail! If you have any questions, email me at [email protected].
