Description:

Well, I was thinking about this card I made for my best girlfriend's Birthday...(She is OBSESSED with Twilight, lol, so I made her a card covered with Robert Pattison, lol)

And I got to thinking that it would be cool if we could do a swap with a bunch of different themed cards. One theme to each person, and that person would make 4 cards within that specific theme. Themes will be assigned, (of course with participants input) and cards can be about anything. Like, but not limited to...Good Luck!, Birthday, Sympathies, Blank Note Cards...etc...BUT You would also make 1 card based on your partner's profile. For a Total of 5 cards with Envies

I will also leave plenty of time for sign up and sending out, so you can make a beautiful hand crafted surprise for your partner!

OK..RECAP:

  • ONE send partner, to keep tabs on postage

  • Themes to be decided at random, and one theme to one person

  • 4 cards according to the theme with Envies

  • 1 card based on your partner's profile with Envie (BLANK)

  • A little note saying Hello! ^.^

  • Swap to Start at the end of February

Now for the Picky part...

  • Rating of 4.9 to join, Sorry no Newbies for this round!

  • NO 1 or 3 Ratings within the last 6 months, without a good explanation. (This I leave to my sole discretion)

  • Must have 10 Completed Swaps with Ratings, Not including email ones

  • International Swap, as sending 5 cards will not be expensive.

If anyone has questions feel free to PM me or leave a comment here! Also, if you have any ideas for specific themes, feel free to leave them on the message boards! Thanks

Happy Swapping!!!

Rainbows

Kawaii

Fruity!

Are a few of the themes I had thought of, but of course lots more are welcome!!

Nathalie 02/ 5/2010 #

Can the sender pick the theme or is it the swap theme or is it the receiver who picks the theme?

Marata 02/ 5/2010 #

I am intrigued and want to see how this plays out. Some ideas... Alice in Wonderland Mexican fiesta Patriotic Steampunk Island vacation

rayfancy 02/ 5/2010 #

@Nathalie I did put it in the rules, but the themes will be given out at random, so no, neither you or your partner pick the theme directly. Therefore, if you have ideas for themes, please do share them here! Thanks!!

@Marata Thank you for your awsome suggestions, and your interest in the swap! ^^ I would have never thought of the Mexican Fiesta or Island Vacation. ^^

ArizonianbutmissesMichigan 02/ 5/2010 #

Asian, Spring, Summer, Animals, Funny, Women (just a few ideas) :)

rayfancy 02/ 5/2010 #

I like the Women idea! I didn't suggest the seasons as themes, as I was trying for alittle "out of the box!" LOL

neca84 02/15/2010 #

just to explain this to the stupid please @rayfancy ...... we get told what theme we have to make to send our partner????

rayfancy 02/15/2010 #

@neca84 Yes, you are given a theme at random. The themes themselves will be decided by me later on, with all the input I have gathered from my swappers! Its gonna be fun! So 4 cards from the given theme, and 1 card tailored to your partner's profile. All with Envies. I will be listing the chosen themes so far shortly.

rayfancy 02/15/2010 #

Themes Chosen So Far are as Follows: - Fruity - Mexican Fiesta - "Girl Stuff" - Cartoons/Disney/Looney Toons

Keep the ideas comming!

ArizonianbutmissesMichigan 02/15/2010 #

I would prefer not to be assigned the Cartoons/Disney/Looney Toons one as I have nothing from my own stash to work with on these themes. So far the others are ok, Fruity, Mexican Fiesta, and Girl Stuff. Thanks, :)

rayfancy 02/16/2010 #

(Not to worry Love, I was probably going to do that one myself, as I am a Cartoon NUT lol)

neca84 02/16/2010 #

I wouldnt be able to do Mexican Fiesta mainly because I have no idea what it is lol here are some more suggestions ....................how about Vintage, floral and masculine

rayfancy 02/18/2010 #

Vintage is a good one, not too big on the masculine one though. If you would like to know more about the Mexican Fiesta, just google it, for web and images. They are just huge parties, usually in the streets, filled with Food, Music, Bright Colours and Pinatas! And well, of course Tequila lol!

rayfancy 02/18/2010 #

Revised List of Themes:

  • Vintage

  • Fruity

  • Mexican Fiesta

  • Cartoons/Disney/LooneyTunes

ArizonianbutmissesMichigan 02/18/2010 #

I have fruity items I can use. Or Girl Stuff/Girl Time. I know themes are given out at random, but did want to throw that in. :)

nlgrudis 02/20/2010 #

How about "black & white" or "Hawian" or "Asian"

rayfancy 02/21/2010 #

ArizonianbutmissesMichigan 02/21/2010 #

sleepingrover2010 02/21/2010 #

I am still watching this swap, but i love this idea. How about punches--Let's Get Punchy(have to use punches on card), brown and pink, monochromatic, flowers, just because, and teddy bear. II will join when sign-up day gets closer. Thanks, Barb

rayfancy 02/21/2010 #
