Because creativity is better when it’s shared.
If you love the idea of sending a little piece of your creativity out into the world—and getting a surprise piece of art back—then Soulful Swaps is for you.
Each month, members create Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) inspired by a fun theme or prompt, mail them in, and receive happy mail from another creative soul in our community. It’s a simple way to stay inspired, build connections, and keep your creative spark alive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Soulful Swaps is our monthly art swap tier where you create Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), send them out, and receive happy mail in return. It’s a simple way to share your creativity, connect with others, and keep your creative spark alive.
We’re just getting started, so the community is small right now—but that makes it even more personal and special. You’ll be one of the first members shaping this swap family. As word spreads, we’ll grow into something even more amazing together.
Not at all! This swap is for everyone—whether you’re brand new to creating or you’ve been making art for years. It’s not about perfection, it’s about connection. Every card is valued because it carries you.
The $5 helps cover the behind-the-scenes costs of running the swap—like supplies, packaging, and the time it takes to organize everything. It also allows me to keep this going and grow the community over time.
Each month you’ll get:
- 🎨 A creative theme or prompt
- 💌 Participation in the swap and happy mail from another member
- ✨ Inspiration and updates posted right here on Patreon
- 🤝 A place to share your creations on Patreon and in our private Facebook group
- 🌟 Occasional bonus swaps (like postcards or journaling cards) to keep things fresh
Each month I’ll post the theme, prompt, and deadlines here on Patreon. Once cards are mailed in, I’ll sort and send them back out. You’ll usually have happy mail in your hands about 1–2 weeks after the deadline.
For now, it’s one swap per month so it stays simple and fun. As we grow, there may be chances for multiple or bonus swaps.
Mail hiccups happen sometimes. If your swap doesn’t make it, reach out to me here or in the FB group. I’ll make sure you’re not left out—we want everyone to feel included.
Artist Trading Cards are 2.5” x 3.5” mini works of art (the size of a playing card). They’re perfect for sharing, collecting, and storing—and have been part of a global creative movement since the 1990s.
ATCs are the heart of this swap, but every now and then we may sprinkle in something different—like postcards, journaling cards, or other happy mail. It keeps things fresh while staying doable.
Because you’ll be part of the founding group! Early members get a more personal experience, and you’ll help shape the future of Soulful Swaps. This is the beginning of something beautiful—and I’d love for you to be part of it.
