December Swap - Special Delivery!

This month’s swap celebrates the charm of snail mail itself! The postage theme invites you to design cards inspired by stamps, envelopes, letters, and all things mail-related. It’s a creative nod to the joy of sending and receiving beautiful, handmade happy mail!

Think vintage postage stamps, air mail stripes, envelopes tucked with surprises, or cards that look like mini parcels — let your design pay tribute to the magic of handwritten mail.

 A Little December Surprise!

Since it's the season of giving, we thought it would be fun to add a tiny twist to this month’s swap! When you send your card, consider including a small extra treat for your swap partner — perhaps a few die-cut sentiments, an embossed panel, or another little crafty goodie.

Nothing bulky — just a sweet, creative surprise that fits in the envelope to brighten someone’s December mail! 

We can’t wait to see the joy it brings!

How It Works:

Sign up opens on December 1st and closes on December 5th at midnight. Participants will be put into groups of two or three members. Each of you will create and send a card to each member of your swap group. Cards must be completed and put in the mail by December 20th.

When you receive a card in the mail, post a photo of your card in our Stick, Snip & Swap Facebook group using the hashtag #tsfdecemberswap2025 and also tag the person who sent it to you.
