I've been thinking about a swap like this for a very long time and I think that I have finally figured out the logistics to be able to make it happen! For this swap all participants will start out with a little supply kit that contains the same items as everyone else. I just bought the Tim Holtz kraft paper Halloween stack and this is what I'm going to start the supply kits out with. I will add other items too - punchies, stickers, ribbon, embellishments, gems, brads, eyelets, charms, etc - I won't know for sure until I put the kits together. You will be making ONE rolo for each of THREE partners plus ONE more rolo for me (that's to "pay" me back for the supply kit I will send you). So - make FOUR total rolo cards from your supply kit. Start with the supply kit that I furnish to you and then add whatever else you want; however, be sure that you use enough items from the supply kit (and in big enough pieces) that it is obvious they are there. You don't HAVE to add anything to the supply kit if you choose not to. Please use the 2 1/4" by 4" or the 2 5/8" by 4" sized cards (the top edge can be straight or rounded). Decorate the back at least a little bit (it don't have to be as elaborate as the front) and be sure to include your name on the back. The back can be right side up or upside down - if you choose, you can wait and PM your partner once partners are assigned to ask what kind of rolodex holder he/she has (so you know how to do the back). Feel free to add embellishments that hang off the edge opposite of the nothces - but don't put these on any other sides as they might interfere with the operation of your partner's rolodex file depending on whether they are using a flat style or a rotary style. Usual rules apply: * No sticker slapping (but stickers are definitely allowed) * Any medium(s) * Late sends and flakers will not be tolerated. The fun of this swap will be starting with a supply kit and then seeing what your partners created using the same supplies! It would be FANTASTIC if everyone posted their completed rolo cards in the "PaperCutz" Flickr group CLICK HERE so we can all see ALL of the variety! Dates: I know this is going to end up past Halloween for this year but I love Halloween themed things all year round and I know a lot of you do too! Also, depending on what you decide to use from the supply kit your rolos wouldn't necessarily have to be Halloween themed! I plan to post a similiar swap in the "Twinchie Madness" group but will use something different to create the supply kits - keep watch for that swap too! I have tried to think this through as clearly as I can but please ask any questions you have and I will try to clarify. Thanks! |
