Description:

SWAP SERIES EDITED - this series will now be for a blank notecard and not for a greeting / occassion card. It's up to your partner to use it for what they want to. So no greetings / occassion celebration type cards here swappers. Just a good ol' notecard :)

For this swap series you will create 1 handmade blank notecard + matching envie every month in the chosen theme. You will also include a 'little something extra' in the chosen theme.

The notecard is for your partner to use, so leave it blank inside. Write a seperate note / sheet of paper for the swap info. Make sure the card and envie both correspond to the theme and each other. The envie does not have to be handmade, but it needs to be decorated and the card must fit in it comfortably. Basically, just make 'em match.

The 'extra' can be store-bought (etsy counts) / handmade. 'Little something extra' ideas:

  • 1 bookmark
  • 1 ATC
  • 4 inchies
  • another notecard (any 'greeting' / blank)
  • 1 flat feltie
  • 1 pen
  • 1 letterset (2 pages; 1 envie)
  • 2 postcards
  • 1 small writing pad
  • 1 post-it notepad

You get the idea. Do not let the list limit your thinking. As long as it's quality, it's fine. Wow your partner.

February will be dedicated to Woodlands. Not getting too scientific in definition. So anything you expect to find in the woods, including fantasy things like fairies, etc. Vegetation like mushrooms, acorns, trees etc. also falls under the theme. I will do a seperate 'Garden' theme one month, so keep the flowery things for that one.

This is sender's choice. You may suggest what you would like as inspiration in the swap comments, but rate fairly. The more options you give your partner, the more likely they can go stash-diving and send you great things :)

What you need to join:

Min 4.95 rating. No recent 1's and 3's. Newbies welcome (as per group requirements). I will ban as I see fit.

This is international, so allow for enough travel time before rating. I would suggest 6 weeks as fair. Contact your partner before rating down (1 or 3). Communication is key. Be fair and nice to your partner. We are all adults here.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. If this goes well, I will continue with the series. Suggestions for future themes are welcome.

Summary:

  • Woodlands theme (for all elements) of sender's choosing
  • 1 x handmade blank notecard and envie. Card must be handmade, envie can be bought and decorated. They must match.
  • 1 x low cost extra. Handmade or store-bought.
  • Send what you are proud of.
  • Rate your partner.

Let's have fun everyone :)

My partner can surprise me with anything they interpret as woodllands :)

Yay! I love woodlands! I especially love mushrooms and hedgehogs! :D

MommytheMaid 01/23/2011 #

Oooh fun! I love mushrooms, hedgehogs, squirrels, and anything else woodlands like ;)

17Papergoddess 01/24/2011 #

woodland bugs? like fireflys? hedgehogs with glitter? teeheehee

I was waiting for crazy to join us :) But we are not hogging this swap for crazy-speak. PM me and we'll go private - wink wink nudge nudge

Does the card need to say "Thank You" or can it be without words? I'd like to be able to use them for various occasions. =)

Mar1l1ze 01/26/2011 #

@tiggerkitn25 - I was kind of hoping to keep it a Thank You series (just because it's that one card no one has at hand). If however, it means that more people will join if it's a blank card (as I understand it it will then be a note card?) then I will change the series to just a notecard series.

So let your voices be heard swappers - 'thank you' or 'blank'? I'll make the change from this swap onwards if the voices lean that way.

Mar1l1ze 01/27/2011 #

Okay, after sleeping on it I've decided to change the series to a 'blank notecard' series. Have adjusted the swap accordingly :)

tiggerkitn25 01/31/2011 #

Thanks! =) I like pretty much anything woodland, but my favorite animals are squirrels, raccoons, and cute hedgehogs.

Would it be alright to make the card using a photo ?

Mar1l1ze 02/ 5/2011 #

@aubreysmom - No problem if the photo was taken by you. If not, use it as part of a collague. Just taking a random photo and sticking it to a piece of cardboard will not be enough in this case. We really want to see your creativity :)

This swap sounds like fun! i like the "extra", too. i'm easy to please, but i do love raccoons, birds, hedgehogs (seems a common theme...), ferns, mushrooms and leaves.

raiding the library store ( exlibris materials sold for fundraising) for Ranger Rick magazines! y'all be jealous, lol. Find me some hedgies to glitter up! add some shimmery eye shadow to those raccoons, lol.

Partners assigned :)

I am so happy to report that all the swappers in this swap have agreed to the new group guidelines. That just makes my heart happy, so thank you everyone for being great members.

Happy swapping everyone.

I love birds, mushrooms, and deep green forests, ferns etc. Think North East (Oregeon/ Washington) forests. I really like all woodland animals but birds are my favorite. I love surprises : )
