Swap for Cardmakers looking for a little bit of a challenge in the craft room!

For this swap, you have one partner for a month (May). You will be sending that partner one card per week (each Friday) and the card must have the embellishment listed below. You will be rated when all the cards are received by your partner.

Week one (deadline May 4) - Two brads and one eyelet

Week two (deadline May 11) - 2 different punches -(non-flowers)

Week three (deadline May 18) - lace and buttons

Week four (deadline May 25) - prick and stitch method to be used.

I will be very strict - your profile must be well filled out.

No unexplained (non-resent) 1 or 3. I reserve the right to ban people not meeting requirements.

No newbies.

The items are specific to create a challenge for the crafters.

Please remember to sign the back of your cards to get credit for them.

bummer...I don't do eyelets LOL, other than that..it sounds great!

Celticmoon 03/24/2012 #

hmmm me neither, but I guess there's always a first, lol

hlwolfe72 03/29/2012 #

I have not done eyelets either, but this seems like a simple instructional site for it

I create my challenges so we can get out of our crafting box and try something new. I have never done prick and stitch myself but after seeing Celticmoom work, I am eager to give it a fair try. If you need help or instructions, feel free to send me a PM.

Celticmoon 04/ 9/2012 #

I can take questions on the prick and stitch style. Send me a message with your question.

grstamping 04/10/2012 #

Thanks you Celticmoon

Sig up date moved to April 22 in order to allow more time to work on card due May 4th.

Im watching this for now. I love a challenge but Im have problems with the prick and stitch. Im unable to get the prick and stitch down they look like something I would not like to receive. Any suggestions

Celticmoon 04/16/2012 #

There is a two flower pattern for free on "form a line" website. It has very easy to follow instructions. I use a folded piece of craft foam to cushion my pricking piece and a large head pin (for sewing) as my pricker. Any questions please send me your questions or post here. Thanks

I am planning a similar challenge in June so be on the lookout. I will likely ask for different type of cards. Namabear, the prick and stitch is different but very classy. Celticmoon sent me a card and I love it. I can't wait to try. I love to be challenged in my crafts.

I don't see a signup button.

Dont' know what happened. I will contact swapbot.

Is the card supposed to be ready for the receiver to use or is it a card we sign and send with a little note? I can't see anything in instructions that clarifies which it is. I may be just missing it, but if someone can clarify that for me, I would really appreciate it. My partner is in So. Africa, so I want to get cards ready and send them early each week.

Thanks so much! Peggy

I sent out week one's card today. I hope my partner likes it.

cardgal5 05/ 2/2012 #

I sent out week two's card. Sorry it was a little early. My days are so messed up.

grstamping 05/ 8/2012 #

I leave the inside blank myself for the receiver to use as she wishes. Some people like to add their own message and it is fine as well. Maybe contacting your partner about it would be a good idea. Sorry I did not reply sooner to your question PeggyO. I assumed everyone was working away at it.

I recevied my first card yesterday. I love it . I sure wish I had that stamp set, it is one of my favorites. I'm sorry Gale I like to let my partner know I received it here then at the end rate. I'm just to fare ahead of myself. So at the end I will do that. I know you will get a heart. I'm sure if I could give you more then one I would.

cardgal5 05/15/2012 #

Well I recevied my 2nd card today. What a BEAUTIFUL card. Thank you so very much Gale. I love it so much. I also love the extra butterflies. They are so pretty. I really needed that today to cheer me up.

cardgal5 05/16/2012 #

I mailed out my third week card today. Lace and Button. I hope Lizzy enjoys it.

Just made a nice card for cardgal5. I am gone crazy about my new crayons. I won't go to sleep tonight! I have to find more things to colour!!!

cardgal5 05/22/2012 #

I just received a beautiful card from Gale. Gale I love it. I have never made one like that before. I love the colors too. I will have to learn how to make them. You sure do deserve more then one heart.

cardgal5 05/26/2012 #

I did send out my last card on Friday the 25, just forgot to hit send. So that is why it says the 26 cause I just hit the send button now.
