SpringFest SBS - Harrington, Delaware MAY 16 2020
What is a shoebox swap? This is a fun day that allows you to create a lot of cards in a short time (the shoebox projects), but only having to come up with one great idea of your own! You will bring enough "shoebox kits" for all participants to create your project, plus two finished projects for your shoebox sample and hostess thank you. We will break up into tables and stamp the day away. Bring xx kits + 2 completed (one for shoebox example, one for hostess).
Cost: $15 per person ($16 via PayPal). Your registration must be paid no later than Friday, May 8th, 2020. Mail (or e-mail) your registration form and payment to me. There are no refunds, but you may offer your spot to someone else. Here's what's planned.
Shoebox Project: Bring your idea and all the supplies (pre-cut but generally not pre-stamped or pre-punched) needed for making your project for the entire group. Quality products and cardstock, such as Stampin' Up!, is required. A project will generally be a full card, with a minimum of two layers and one embellishment, although non-card projects are also welcome. These projects should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete. We definitely do not want to discourage challenging cards or cards showcasing "new" techniques. However, if your card is intricate and fancy you may want to pre-stamp or pre-assemble some items for the other stampers. Please provide any special adhesive that's needed. Make these something you'd be thrilled to get yourself.
Prior to the swap day, you will need to create a card and then make a kit for each person, which contains all the supplies, in your shoebox or basket. Put your original card sample, your "kits", stamps, ink and anything else that is needed but not in the basic supply kit in the shoebox or basket. You may choose to put each kit into a separate sandwich bag. Include written/printed instructions for your card in your shoe box. You will not be demonstrating these, so please make sure your instructions are very, very clear so that even beginners can easily complete your card. On the outside of your box, please put your name so we know who made which project. You may want to cut a few extras in case boo-boos occur. Please label all your supplies. The number of kits needed depends on how many people we get to sign up. In addition, please bring the hostess's copy of your shoebox project completed, as a thank you. I probably won't be able to stamp during the day, and I don't want to miss anything! Bring xx kits + 2 completed (one for shoebox example, one for hostess).
Swap(s): These are completed projects that we swap, in addition to the shoebox projects. You'll know how many to make when we post the final counts, and you'll have plenty of notice since the deadline is 2+ weeks ahead of the event. You can participate in any or all of these swaps. I ask that you sign up for AT LEAST ONE swap.
* Card Front Swap - Final Count - xx. See post #6 below.
* Monochromatic FULL Card Swap - Final Count - xx. See post #10 below.
Other Stuff: Please bring your own labeled items for your personal stamping needs, including your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can't stamp without, like: bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straight edge, stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! Did I say adhesive????? Adhesive! You will likely need lots of it.
Make and wear a name tag with your name (and your SCS name) so that we know you on sight. There may be a name tag contest so keep that in mind when you're creating yours.
Don't forget your camera!
Complete the registration form and forward with your $15 payment ($16 via PayPal) by Friday, 5/8. All funds collected will be spent on the event. Your registration is complete when your payment is received. Hope you'll join us!
