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! 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.

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 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 Tongue) I did manage to get pictures of everything, though! (With my ninja package re-opening skills) No damage done. Hahaha...

The foreign language papers are from Ale's Journal there is info on that thread about them.
Have fun creating
