Description:

This swap is for people who collect used stamps or like to use them in their art.

You have to send one envelope covered in as many different stamps as possible to 3 people. That makes 3 envelopes in total. It is not required to use more stamps than needed to cover the postal fee. You can use same kind of stamps, for example, you might have 5 different stamps and use three of each to cover the envelope. If your country doesnt have a wide choice of small cost stamps (i.e. 5ct,10ct 30ct, etc), you are welcome to add previously used stamps but put them in the envelope, not on it.

Envelope can be empty or contain a note, a card or more stamps, etc, it's up to you.

Participants must have not lower than 4.5 rating. Newbies with full profiles welcome.

This might be a silly question, but do they all have to new stamps? obviously, some of them do to cover postage price, but can the rest be previously used? otherwise it would be expensive to cover the envelope, especially if there's three.

Hmm. Good question. It is not required nor advised in this swap to use more new stamps than needed for the postal fee to be paid. If your country doesnt have a wide choice of small cost stamps (i.e. 5ct,10ct 30ct, etc), you are welcome to add previously used stamps but put them in the envelope, not on it. You can also use same kind of stamps on the envelope, it's ok. For example, you might have 5 different stamps and use three of each to cover the envelope.
