"BAG IT" Handmade Cards (Recycling Craft)

Well I got this idea from a Christmas Ideas Book - and thought WOW what a neat idea - they did paper bags for gift bags - but why not for cards!

So in this swap you will have 1 partner and make 3 cards.

The card base is cut out of a paper bag - any color - but try to use a nice sturdy bag or if using a thin bag line with card stock for stablity.

The front of the cards is Senders Choice (you may want to check out your partners profile for likes though)- try to use at least one more recycled item in addition to the paperbag - to complete each card. Items like old card fronts, old buttons - fabric leftover from projects - metal bottle caps - and the list is endless - but not limited.

The minimum size of the cards is 4" x 4" - try not to make no larger than 1/2 fold from a 8.5 x 11.5" paper - and include envies for the cards.

You must have a 4.85 rating or higher. NO NO SENDS in the last 4 months - No 1's or 3's in the last 2 months with out good reason. Must have 5 completed and rated swaps. Will be checking profiles the day of assigning partner to make sure that all 5 swaps are rated if you are a newbie. If you have a partial suspension - do not sign up!

If you have any questions - suggestions or need some suggestions PM me at @sapphirestitching I always find that I have a hard time remembering to check the comment area regularly since I am hosting or part of a lot of swaps here and on my own yahoo group.

So have fun with this and cannot wait to see what some of the results are!
