Holiday Cards

Anyone remember these?

Last year I did a little holiday card exchange with my blog readers (er that would be you). It was so much fun making a stack of cards and then receiving so many cards from all over the world to brighten up my little flat. I’d love to do this again this year, so I hope you’d like to too. Just send me an email (mail@ysolda.com) in the next couple of weeks with your address and I will make some cards and send one out to you, wherever that might be. I’m not at all religious, although I do celebrate Christmas in a rather secular manner, so my cards won’t be to do with any religious holiday in particular. But I will be totally delighted with whatever card you want to send me, so please don’t stress about that. Of course I will be making my cards but I understand that this is a super busy, stressful time of year and that it’s almost impossible to get through everything on your crafty to do list so I will be just as happy to receive a card whether or not you made it. (If you are looking for awesome handmade cards to send out though I bet there are lots available on Etsy).

I don’t want this to seem like a stressful sort of swap (and also I’m rather lazy), so I’m not setting this up as a big organised swap although I did consider it. I’m just looking to send out some cards and get some in return, but I won’t mind at all if something comes up and you don’t manage to send one out. If you think this is a most excellent idea though I’d love to see you post your own call for card swapees, do leave a comment if you decide to.

Now to come up with a design. Hmm…

What a lovely idea! I’d love to exchange cards, and I will do the same on my blog.

Now why didn’t I think of this? ;)

I love sending and receiving Christmas cards, so I’d love to take part in this - I’ll send you an email. I’ll think about doing a similar thing on my own blog - I just have to figure out if I have the time for it.

What a lovely idea. There is nothing cheerier than mail around the holidays. I’ll drop you an email with address. Thanks!

What a great idea! I save my Xmas cards every year and either hang them up to decorate doorways or recycle them and use the covers as gift tags.

I will definitely participate!

Thanks!

You know what’s funny - I actually posted a call for a card exchange last week, inspired by yours last year. And, I have already sent you a card, figuring I’d better get it off quick since you’re half way across the world from me.

I’ll email with my address.

Oh, count me in again! I was thinking about sending you a card and trying to remember if the address I have is your old one.

I LOVE this idea! I’m going to do a swap on my blog as well with a Japanese twist on my end. Can’t wait to see what you send out!

Oh my gosh! I thought I’d sent you a comment but don’t see it here. Anyway, I’d love to be a part of your card swap - although I have to admit that mine aren’t handmade. :) Yay! This will be fun!

I’d love to be a part of the card swap. I am thinking of making Elijah for my 3 year old nephew.
