Description:

For this swap you will alter rolodex cards, senders choice for the first round to get us started on our “Rolo” collection.

I have noticed that the new rolodex cards & fillers are made only from very thin printer paper.....because we are altering them and they need to stand up in the rolodex holder, not bend over….the rolo cards must be made from heavier weight cardstock or thicker paper ( similar to how you would create a atc)

We will be using the largest standard size.. which is approx 2 ½” x 4” Landscape orientation

…Sizzix does have a Bigz Clear Die Cut (card telephone,address), not sure if other die cuts are available? or If you would like to make the rolodex cards you may also cut out 2 ½” x 4” then round the corners and most office supply stores carry the punch for the slots at the bottom as a option…you are not required to cut the slots in the bottom of the card the receiver can do that to match their holder. but please leave the slot area free of altering so your partner can punch the rolo card.

Make sure and put your contact information on the back, and since the back does show, please decorate it lightly.

All Queen rules and standards apply…so please only send what you would love to receive…..please ask any questions if you are uncertain of anything

1 Partner--1 Rolodex card each i thought i would change it and just start out with one partner, just to get the swap rolling

I am excited about this one, I saw a picture of a journal type rolodex on Pinterest and thought it was so great! I will have to figure out what to do about the cards themselves, if you have any more hints, please let me know!
