Mini Cardmaking kit Matchbox swap- US & Canada only Please be sure to read all the way through the description. This was inspired by the cute mini-stamp sets seen at Michael’s that I keep collecting! They are found in the $1 section. They are super cute and fit perfectly inside the 250ct matchboxes. If the response to this is good I’d like to host themed matchbox card kit swaps, so if you’re interested try it out! Here goes: Using a DECORATED large 250 ct matchbox, make a mini card-making kit. The kit MUST include these items: 1.) 3 mini pre-folded cards with envelopes if possible- (make and cut your own if you want, measure is up to you, just make sure they are cut neatly and they fit neatly inside the matchbox. Please don’t send a 1x1 card, make them as big as possible while still able to fit inside the matchbox. 2.) 1 mini clear stamp set OR 2 small coordinating wood mounted stamps – If you choose to send wood mounted, try to make the 2 stamps go together, as in a coordinating image and phrase or saying. Amuse has some great ones that would work great for the mini swap. I have found the mini clear stamp sets at Michael’s, Target, dollar stores, stamp/scrapbook shops. If your not sure what im talking about when I say “mini clear stamp set†please contact me. 3.)A mini surprise Then choose at least 3 items from the following list to include in your kit:
A lot of the items are smaller by nature (glue stick, glitter glue, brads, buttons, etc) so if you find a “regular†sized item that fits in your kit, go for it. Try to focus on the small cute things, or package it in a “cute†way that is exciting to open or look at. Aim for <3’s and feel free to send more than 3 items off the list, or improvise with something I haven’t mentioned, as long as it goes with the mini theme. Try to honor your partners preferences. Please send only new/unused items. Plan to spend about $15 dollars on this swap, that’s by no means a set limit, as some items you may already own in your stash or be able to purchase for a small amount, but meant to serve as a guide to the swap expectations. Nitty Gritty-
