Description:

We are paper crafters. Along with that, goes saving every single little piece of paper. Right? :)

I've been on a kick lately with trying to use up bits from my overflowing containers and not digging into new papers. The struggle is real.

Let's swap paper cuts! What I mean by paper cuts is die cuts, punched shapes, even little bits (neatly) cut by hand/trimmer (think small banner type pieces, diagonal edged strips, etc.).

For this swap, we will send our partner 40 paper cuts. Try to have at least 5 different styles and different sizes.

Example:

  • 8 large hearts
  • 8 tag shapes
  • 8 banner strips
  • 8 small stars
  • 8 butterflies

Mix up your papers within each shape (don't send 8 stars in the same paper). These should all be on patterned cardstock, old book pages, music sheets. No plain colored cardstock.

Recap:

  • 40 paper cuts that can include die cuts, punches, hand cuts
  • At least 5 different shapes/styles
  • Mix of papers ... use those scraps!
  • No plain paper

Sender's choice, so you can get these done ahead and just wait for partners to be assigned.

Tuck in a note with your swap-bot ID and swap name, package securely, and send by due date.

Please post below or message me with any questions.

Happy swapping!

lol @milamilamura ! I hear you! I keep trying to think of ways we can all work through our scraps.

I too am looking forward to using my diecut machines for this swap! But is lighting all our scraps on fire completely out of the question then @sassafrass ! Sometimes it feels like it would be far easier than having to look at and hoard all our darned scraps!! :)

lol @CrystalZ !! I was running my cricut the other night and had set a 12x12 paper and had it pretty jammed with stuff to cut, so there was very little waste. I'm holding it and thinking ... I can still use this for something lol
