Description:

I love to try different papers for my ATC's but that usually entails buying a big piece of paper and cutting it down to size. This leaves me with a lot of leftovers that I may or may not use.

This swap is for those of us that would like to swap out papers we have and receive new ones from our partner.

Here are the rules:

  • All papers should be cut to the standard 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches ATC size or larger. Nothing smaller than the standard size.

  • All paper should have some sort of pattern, texture, etc on them. No plain, solid color papers allowed.

  • The minimum numbers of papers you should send to your partner is 10.

  • Use an envelope that can accommodate the papers. They shouldn't be folded.

  • Sender's choice.

  • No swappers under a 5 without contacting me first. Newbies welcome.

Is it OK to cut the papers a bit bigger?

kd5145 08/19/2010 #

I think that's fine. I have updated the information to reflect that.

jj9jj 08/19/2010 #

I figured it would be OK. Thanks!

Fantastic swap idea! I'd be up for another round, or a swap like this with 3-4 partners. I LOVE getting new papers. :)

Great idea for a swap. I've become a paper addict.

kd5145 08/19/2010 #

I stand in the paper isle forever because there are so many papers to choose from but I feel like they will go to waste since I know I won't use the whole thing. Then I usually end up buying them anyway. :)

I already started cutting mine tonight & I hope whoever gets mine loves them!

Quick question for ya - do the papers have to be storebought scrapbook papers or can we send more unusual stuff too? Like, say, old calendar pages or vintage wrapping paper - cut to size, of course.

kd5145 08/20/2010 #

Sender's choice. I added one from a piece of sheet music to my pile going out.

Jammy 08/22/2010 #

Do the papers need to be thick, like cardstock, or the papers that you would glue onto the ATC for a background?

kd5145 08/22/2010 #

You certainly can send thick papers, but papers you can glue as the background is fine.

I'm new to Swap-Bot but I have been a crafter for many years! I have so much paper and would love to share.

kd5145 08/24/2010 #

I have some great ATC transparencies. Can I include one or 2 of these?

kd5145 08/31/2010 #

Please feel free to add them.

I have just the stack of papers for this! I will have mine ready in a snap! ;)

I was SO excited for this swap coming up but realized I kinda live in Canada...Oooops. So much for knowing how to read! Let me know if I have to drop this swap or can you please let me join just this once! LOL! :) If I have to drop it, anyone want to do a prv't swap after this swap is completed? I have some amazing papers to swap and embossed images........if I don't hear anything back I will assume I got in by the hair of my chinny chin chin!

kd5145 09/ 1/2010 #

Hi Darcilena, I want to keep it US for those folks that anticipate only spending a stamp or two to send. I would be happy to do a private swap with you though. Let me know!

I am loving this, and after partners are assigned, if you are not mine and want to do a private swap, I have plenty of papers to share. I also love we will send them by 9/11 I love having good things happen on this day! Let me know... Christy

Im new here so Im not sure who to send this envelope full of goodies to. Can anyone help me?

kd5145 09/ 2/2010 #

@babynavyblue

I will assign the partners at the end of the day on the 3rd and then you will see a link about what partner to send to on the right of the swap page. Hope this helps!

babynavyblue 09/ 2/2010 #
