**SWAPPED AND POSTAL FROM HAWAII**PAPERTREY INK-Due 9/30/11!!! Come join us!
If you love PTI as much as I/we do, then this is the swap for you! This is an awesome group of PTI junkies and each time I get the most fabulous, highest caliber cards! Join Us! You won't regret it!
Rules: You MUST use PTI stamps. NVR on cardstock but use good quality such as PTI, GinaK or SU! Try to use at least one embellishment, NVR on embellies.
For this latest round I am running 5 categories:
1- Regular Cards- Freestyle, whatever you want to create is game!
2- Autumn Splendor Cards-Any Autumn/Thanksgiving/Halloween related card. Since the swap is due just before October, I thought this might be a nice theme. **note: was considering expanding this to include christmas/winter...if there is enough interest in doing this then I will**
3- Fancy Folds Card-Tri-fold, Gate Fold, Waterfall....anything out of the norm!
4-Card Candy- **Back by popular demand** A mini work of art that can be placed on a card as an embellishment or card enhancer.
another source of inspiration- The "Master" for card candy
~~~~Questions from swappers for card candy~~~~
a. How many candy pieces should there be? I would say 2 pieces of candy. They could be exactly alike or coordinating, or different colors or completely different. However if you take 2 spots, pieces from spot 1 have to be different than pieces in Spot 2.
b. If it's a die cut does it have to be PTI? Yes, unless you stamp with PTI on the card candy, then it's ok if you don't use PTI dies.
5- Die Cut Swap- This is a new one! Send in 10+1 die cuts for each spot you sign up for (one shape per slot). You will receive 10 in return. You may die cut card stock, DSP, felt etc, but the die MUST be PTI.
This is different from card candy, as you are only sending in die cut shapes, no embellishments, etc. However, the die cut MUST be PTI in this category.
I will do my best to include a good mix in the return packages.
Please list the die you plan to use in your spot and PM me a top 5 list of die cuts you hope to recieve in return. I am hoping to avoid sending people return shapes they already own.
~~~~~~~~~A Note About Die Cuts~~~~~~~~~
-Many can just be cut out of CS, DSP or felt and be just fine
-Some (like the frog die) may need to be cut from white CS and stamped for it to make sense
-Others (like the rocket die) can go either way
Please do what works for you. Thanks!
SWAP QUANTITY: 5+1/cards, 10+1/die cuts (you send in six of the same cards and receive five different cards in return, or for the die cut swap you send in eleven of the same and receive ten in return; one is for the hostess) for each spot. You may sign up for a maximum of 2 spots in each category. Please do a different design for each spot you sign up for. I will add more spots as necessary. The deadline to sign up for this swap is September 15th .
PACKAGING: Place cards/items in a Ziploc bag and label with your name, your SCS name, and the name of the swap. Envelopes are not required unless it is not an A2 sized card.
MAILING INSTRUCTIONS: Place your Ziploc bag in a self-addressed, stamped envelope (bubble envelope recommended to protect cards). Be sure to use stamps because many P.O.s will not accept metered strips and make sure postage is equal to amount it cost to mail your swaps. Place this envelope in another envelope and address to me.
***Please include 2 extra stamps to cover any differences in postage; your return package may be heavier. I will return the extra back if more postage is not needed.
***If you prefer for me to send it back to you via Priority mail or if you want me to reuse the envelope, please do let me know.
***When I receive your package, I will change the color of the name.
Once you are ready to mail your items to me.. please mail to:
Shannon Henderson
145-104 Stout Court
Wahiawa, HI 96786
DUE DATE: All swaps are due in my hands by September 30, 2011; if not received by this time, they will be returned. Please note that I live in Hawaii, so the longer you wait to mail them the more you will have to pay in postage to get it here on time. I highly recommend at minimum First Class postage. I will swap out and have your cards back in the mail to you within a week.***Remember to subscribe to this thread to stay updated, just click on thread tools and then subscribe to this thread and select email notification.
**SPECIAL SURPRISE** The first 10 people to sign up will get a little "aloha" from me in their package! The first 10 packages I receive will get some "aloha" too!!
If you cannot commit please tell me early on, things happen, we know!
Hi, I have plenty of PTI stamps and DSP and I don't use them as much as I should be. Please, add me to the regular cards category (1 spot). Thank you!!!

I know what you mean Anna! I am totally jumping outside my comfort zone. Don't let the term "fancy" scare you though...really its anything other than your basic fold. Even a simple tri-fold would work! Thay have great tutorials here on splitcoast too! I was considering a diamond fold...til I saw that tri shutter!

heeheehee
I know! I get bored quickly, so my swaps are always one-of-kind (each card is different) and fancy folds are, probably, too many steps to follow, lol

OH! I need to know if anyone has nut allergies, or anything I need to be careful of! I have some things in mind for everyones "aloha", but haven't narrowed it down yet...wanna be sure I don't give something that would make anyone sick!!!
the surprise may be food, flowers, crafty stuff, smelly stuff...you just never know!!!
Okay, so my tri shutter base was sooooo easy! IT was cutting out all the pieces to decorate that was so tedious!!!! AHHHHHHHH! Glad I decided to tackle this one first! lol
I will take a spot in each ...thanks !!!! It has been a while since I have swapped, but I am excited ... nothing better than a PTI swap I will be using the "wonderful words" dies for the die-cut catagory ... sign me up for a second spot in "die-cuts" ... I will use Button Up #1.

Hey Shannon! Thank you for hosting this round! I will take a spot in the regular cards, fancy folds, and card candy for now.
I may join in on the autumn one, I just want to make sure I still have a stamp I am thinking of using for that spot before committing. As for the die cuts, I would like to join, but I only have the clouds die cut at the moment, if that works I would like a spot there too, if not maybe when I order again I can offer something else
