Description:

thank you to everyone who has participated in the last 8 rounds. i am very happy to be hosting round 8. I am already thinking of something special for round 10!

this swap is for sending a variety of cut-outs & paper to your swap partners that they can use for mail art, ATC's, collage, smash/junk journals etc.

swap requirements: in an envelope minimum A6/4.5 x 6.4 (standard envelope) fill it with cut-outs from pretty magazines, newspapers, childrens books, paper ephemera, etc.,. you must find these cut-outs yourself and spend time cutting them out for your partner.

the minimum cut-outs you can send is 20. TWENTY. if you think you can't do this, don't join. yes your partner might count them and yes, you HAVE to send 20. please remember cut-outs are almost weightless and this is a cheap swap to send even international so please do try and fill the envelope.

people keep asking minimum size for cut-outs. they can be tiny, or large, but please send a variety. i would say the minimum size is a fingernail... but for example don't think if you cut-out 20 tiny tiny things, it's ok. use common sense...

required cut-outs to send include: - pictures/images - text/quotes - patterns - shapes - used stamps cut from envelopes - anything pretty and can be used for collage, smash book, etc - any cut outs from paper ephemera - cut outs from used or new postcards, notecards. Get creative :)

PLEASE think pretty, attractive, interesting, artistic, quirky, funny etc when choosing cut outs for your partner.

Please avoid sending cut outs of random celebrities, bar codes, advert words like Chanel, walmart etc, anything unnecessary that you would personally regard yourself as uninteresting.

things that do NOT count as cut-outs: -takeaway menus / ads / junk mail -bookmarks -stickers / embellishments -full page ads from magazines -ribbon / deco tape / etc

it is senders choice as long as you follow those guidelines. I'm sorry for the long description. It really is not confusing and is an easy and fun swap, I just don't want people sending trash from newspapers etc.

you are more than welcome and encouraged to also include ANYTHING flat (postcards, paper scraps, more cut-outs, ads, bookmarks, stickers, photographs)... your partner would like and can use, however please note this does NOT count as 20 cut-outs.

i check everyone's profiles. please have good ratings, full profile, active dashboard. i ban anyone i think can't fulfill this swap within reason. comments are your friends! if you're confused about this swap, message me or comment below.

swap recap: send 20 nice cut-outs from any paper medium to each partner in an envelope.

happy swapping & have fun!!
