I adore getting goodie envelopes stuffed with goodies to create with! So, here is a swap just for that! Details below ;)

  1. You will have 2 partners - you will fill one Hallmark Card sized Envelope with all kinds of paper-craft items: papers (ATC sized minimum), note pads/papers (get creative, no plain pages please), embellishments, brads, buttons, nice stickers (no reward, teacher, free, company or otherwise cheap stickers - nice ones only that you would love to receive), fibers/ribbons (6 inches minimum), charms, fabric (4 inch square minimum), google eyes, beads (nice ones, see sticker description above), match boxes, bottle caps (clean ones, thank you), and so forth! Get creative and generous, lol!

  2. With the stuffed envie, please include a small letter or notecard with your user name, name of the swap and a little hi to your partners :)

  3. There is no money limit on this, as I am hoping you will utilize your stash or raid the local dollar store ;) Feel free to send a larger envie or a profile surprise for hearts.

  4. You must have a minimum 4.8 rating & a completely filled out profile. No no sends in the past 6 months, no 1s or 3s in the past 6 months. Newbies are welcome, PROVIDED they have completed at least 2 mailing swaps (ATCs, stickers, postcards, etc are fine - email swaps do not count), and fit the previous requirements.

  5. This swap is for Canada/USA only. If you would like to make an International one, please feel free! If you have created one similar to this already, please know I am not stealing from you, I just really wanted to make a swap ;)

  6. Please post below if there is anything you do not want to recieve - eg. you have a zillion brads and don'e need any more, or you are allergic to scented products, etc.

  7. Have fun! Think outside the box here, and please rate fairly - if you recieve your envie filled with goodies, and it's within a reasonable amount of time, rate a 5. If you feel it was worth a heart, hand it out =)

Any questions, Please feel free to PM me =)

Cheers all!

Oy, sorry for the boldness...not sure how that happened, lol!

I know that it's kind of up to us to decide if we want to do something above and beyond, but what type of envelope where you picturing as the standard? Like a business size envelope or like a bubble mailer or.. Just trying to get some clarification because I have some ideas :P

if you send brads, it would be a very good idea to tape all edges, because they make holes. hate for half a package not to arrive because brads made holes. also, if you request hand stamping, in person, you're less likely to have flattened brads arrive. mail machines can be nasty...

For the large text, you probably used a line of dashes to separate your text, or used pound signs before and after the block of text, which in markdown language are heading commands. Go here: [Markdown Editor][1]

Sorry about that.

Looking over your description, it only has items 1-7 as headings. Did you by any chance use a pound (#) symbol before each one to denote it as number1, number2, etc? If so, just delete the pound/number symbol.

BlackWolf 01/22/2009 #

Lol, yes I used pound sings :P I will remember that for the next time, thank you!

For envie size, I am thinking of a Hallmark card envelope - it's about 7 inches long by 5 inches high. That size roughly, of course you can use a bubble mailer if you like.

Thank you for the comment about the brads - I never thought about them damaging the envie, so please, wrap anything that has sharp edges, pretty please :)

Thanks all!

Saulute 02/10/2009 #

I am so tempted to join, despite a promise to myself, that for a while I will swap just atcs...Okey, just this one...

Nothing scented please (including cigarette smoke) - it gives me migraines. Also, I don't need fibers and don't use fabric or stickers.

BlackWolf 02/16/2009 #

Partners have been assigned! Please post when you have sent your envies out =) Thanks all for joining!

BlackWolf 02/25/2009 #
