More Fun Than a Latte (a Washi Swap) #2

Calling all washi tape lovers!!

I thought I'd do a Round #2 of this swap I hosted last month. Many of us washi lovers may have received new tapes (or bought some ourselves) for Christmas and this will be a great swap to share them. :)

These days a tall size Caramel Macchiato and a petite vanilla bean scone at Starbucks (my favorite!) costs about $5.00. Because they are both delicious, it's hard to savor them and before I know it they're both gone. :(

For about a dollar less than that in postage, we can send 8 partners, 8 different washi tape samples (see note below). This will give us all 64 washi tape samples to play with (they will probably last a bit longer than a latte). It's always fun to see just how many different tapes there are out there in the world. When I hosted this swap in a group, some folks sent a few extras so there is a potential for even more washi to play with!! :) Oh my, the anticipation of receiving all that happy washi in our mailboxes - how can we stand it?! LOL!!

Fine Details

• Each tape sample needs to be a minimum of 18 inches in length (personally I wrap 9 times around a standard playing card; it gives a little extra) and be wrapped around a shiny surface for easy removing. Playing cards work well (if from China, please wrap them with packing tape first), but feel free to use another method or size of card. (If you lay your wrapped playing cards side by side and add a little snippet of washi tape to the center, they'll stay together and flat for mailing.)
• Add a little note inside each of your 8 envelopes with your name & swap-bot ID so you partners can easily rate you.
• Your envelopes must be decorated with washi tape - several strips on the front, please.
• Lastly, have fun wrapping, sending, receiving, and using your colorful tapes! :)

(Note: Please do not send November/December holiday themed tapes, nor shiny deco/plastic tapes, Dollar Store brand tapes, fabric tapes, regular scotch tapes, or solid color tapes.)

Won't you forego one latte & scone and come out to play? Or get the latte & scone anyway and enjoy them while you wrap up your tapes! ;)

This swap is sender's choice so we can all start wrapping our tapes now if we want to.

There will need to be at least 9 players for this swap to work in the way I set it up. If less than that sign up, no worries, we'll just have less partners, but we'll still have lots of washi fun.
