Description:

This swap is for ALL CW Members.

For this swap we will be making and sending an altered rolodex card. There is an amazing amount of beautiful altered rolo examples online. Just google: altered rolo...the images are amazing.

You can go out and purchase a pack of rolodex cards @ your local office supply store or if you'd prefer, download this free template. Make sure to print it out on card stock.

Then decorate it in a "witchy" Spring theme. Leave the center blank, so that your partner can add the address on the front that they would like. Theme is up to the sender, but take a peek @ your partner's profile for likes and color preferences. Make it something beautiful, spring-like & with a Pagan/Witch flair. Ostara imagery would be wonderful.

RECAP:

  • Purchase or download a rolodex card

  • Create a beautiful Spring themed altered Rolo

  • Keep embellishments on the top and sides, but not in the center or bottom.

  • Make it something beautiful that you are delighted to send

  • Sign your work on the back, but leave the face/front free in the center

  • Let me know in the comments about other themes you would be interested in doing in the future & have an amazing rolo stack made by your fellow Crafty Witches. I will be having these in a series. :)

Ooooo...and Elements theme would be awesome as well!

Oooh, how cool is this! Also, I'd be all about an elements theme as well!

hmmm sounds fun, just not for me. I love doing little matchbox swaps, where you decorate a matchbox and fill it with small stuff, like some dried herbs or a crystal..etc...that would be fun.

I like the idea, very creative :) But not sure how I'd keep those cards. Theme ideas... deities, the seasons, sabbats, elements of course, spells...

Oh I would definitely do a matchbox swap like @takaratown suggested!

Yay - joining this one!

I love the idea of altered rolo's. (glad it is not the candy!) Would love to have more partners! Mathbox's sounds great

@naurwen - I hole punch the side of the cards & put them on a large ring. I know other people that keep them in an album. As for a matchbox swap, takaratown - I've made you an officer. Please feel free to put up the matchbox swap. :)

an odd question - does anyone have the dimensions of the rolo's. I have some at my office and they look SMALL. Cheers

oreon 01/28/2012 #

It looks like 4 x 2.625"
