Description:

This is an intensive swap, for die-hard paper lovers that want to send a beautifully curated piece of mail.

You must have a well filled out profile, have been in numerous type 3 stash swaps, have a great paper stash to choose nice items for your partner and are committed to shipping on time.

For this swap you'll take 6 sheets of patterned/ painted/ decorated cardstock, score & fold the sheets in half to create a 10 page book that is roughly 8.5" x 5.5" (you may purchase a book for this purpose if you wish but all the pages must be fully decorated)

The overall concept is to create a flow-ish journal filled with paper goodness for your partner to use in their crafting.

The options are endless but the book must have at least 10 inclusions: the inclusions could be paper scrap samplers, stickers, pretty note papers, die cuts, notecards, mini envelopes, decorative paper bags, vellum paper, tags, almost anything goes! This is a non vintage swap so all inclusions should be bright, interesting & fun (unless your partner agrees to accepting a vintage swap).

Go through the book, add pockets, belly bands, fold outs, etc. to house the items you want to include. Once complete you should be ready to mail your partner an all inclusive happy mail. This book should be filled with things that they can use to make art. Decorate the envelope and send before the deadline.

I found a couple videos on YouTube that you can use for inspiration.
