Papercraft Swap
I was browsing around on craftster.org and I found a great swap thread, it was a swap for papercrafting supplies. I thought it would be a perfect swap for those of us that make atc's, inchies, collage, or journal.
You can send paper that already has a design on it, or one that you've created yourself, images can be stamped, something you've drawn, a computer printout, or a magazine cut-out, ribbon, small fabric scraps, pom-poms, pressed flowers, feathers, etc.
You would only need to fill a regular sized envelope, so it would be easy and inexpensive to send anywhere.
Copy and paste this:
- Would you like one partner or two?
- Do you have anything specific in mind, for your envelope? (colours, foreign language papers, stamps, vintage papers, stickers, etc.)
- Do you want your partner to keep a theme for your items? (nature, faeries, victorian, steampunk, goth, etc.)
- Are there any images or items you do not want to receive?
- Is there anything else you want your partner to know?
Sign-up deadline is Saturday, August 14th. And partners will be listed later that day or Sunday.
The mail out date is August 31st.
- Would you like one partner or two? 2
- Do you have anything specific in mind, for your envelope? Foreign language papers, stamped images, feathers, jewel tone colours, kawaii, zombie, and buddhist imagery.
- Do you want your partner to keep a theme for your items? A little bit nature-ish.
- Are there any images or items you do not want to receive? Nothing about cute animals, please.
- Is there anything else you want your partner to know? I like anything zombie related, and also Alice in Wonderland.
- Would you like one partner or two?
2! The more the merrier! :-D
- Do you have anything specific in mind, for your envelope?
Ooooh... I dont know. I'm putting a lot of faith in my partner's taste. Hehe. I do like pretty patterns and japanese cute-ness, though. :3
- Do you want your partner to keep a theme for your items?
No preference.
- Are there any images or items you do not want to receive?
*golden rule* Just send something you'd want to recieve! ;)
- Is there anything else you want your partner to know?
Have fun with it! I'm looking forward to this swap!
One question, though, could you define a 'regular-sized envelope'? Or should that be something we figure out with our partner(s)?
I'd suggest using an envelope that's around 8 1/2 inches by 3 or 4 inches.
OK that's funny i just had to measure all the envelopes i could find on my desk and in my stash.It's a regular bank statement letter size
Now I know we have an extended send out date I'd love to join.

Since there's an uneven number of partners I'll take an extra. And there will be two groups of partners.
Group 1:
- Autumn Asylum - dropthetacos - Essex Debs -
Group one will send to and receive from the two other people in their group.
Group 2:
- Autumn Asylum - Keira M. -
Be sure to message your partners, and have fun! ^_^
I have the idea and dropthetacos has been in contact
Almost done! Just a few more finishing touches!
These envelopes are going to be tough to close... Hehehe...
How is everyone else doing? :]
Sealing them after I type.Posting tomorrow.

I love the stamps! The book pages are in a foreign-looking language (awesome!), and there are a bunch of great textured papers! *please excuse my poopy cell phone pictures* Great package!
I havent been able to get to the post office this week, the envelopes are still sitting all packed and ready on my desk. (It's times like these when I wish I had my driver's license ) I did manage to get pictures of everything, though! (With my ninja package re-opening skills) No damage done. Hahaha...
omg there is so much stuff! how did you fit it in an envelope? sending mine today can't put up pics as can't figure out how to get the pics from the camera to this page on my sllloowww llaptop :]
Phew it arrive :0)
The stamps came from Tracey C in a Happygram and I now am taking all my stamps off packages!Somewhere in my parents loft in England are my childhood stamp collections I think I'll try to find them out over Christmas.
The foreign language papers are from Ale's Journal there is info on that thread about them.
Have fun creating
