What is a shoebox swap?
This is a fun swap that allows you to create a lot of cards in a short time, but only having to come up with one great idea of your own! 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, as well as written instructions needed for them to create the card. The number of kits needed depends on how many people we get to sign up. I will let you know by August 16.
***These cards should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete.***
I 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. You will need to make a completed sample of your card so everyone can see what the card is supposed to look like. Then each person will be able to complete your card and take home a variety of cards.
� This is a full card swap. Cards should have a minimum of two layers and one embellishment. You need to supply all materials needed for your card. That means cardstock, ribbon, eyelets, stamps, ink, etc. All cardstock will need to be pre-cut to � sheet or to the size needed for your card. This not only saves you money, but the rest of us time. No vendor requirements on all supplies, but quality, thick cardstock is a MUST! No envelopes need be supplied.
� Put all pieces needed to assemble your card into separate sandwich bags or �kits�. Include written/printed instructions for your card in each bag. 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. And please be sure that your card can be completed in 10-15 minutes.
� Put your original card, your �kits�, stamps, ink and anything else that is needed but not in the basic supply kit in a Shoebox or basket. On the outside 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.
� Please bring a BASIC SUPPLY KIT to include: Stamp-n-scrub w/stamp cleaner, scissors, adhesive, pop dots or foam dots, bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straight edge, and a black journaling marker and whatever else you can�t stamp without (markers?). Have some sort of carry case for these items as you�ll be moving to each station.
� Please also bring something to carry your completed cards in that will keep them safe. Bring your camera if you want to take pictures of the card samples in case you don�t have time to complete all the projects.
� YOU NEED TO BRING ENOUGH SUPPLIES FOR EVERY PERSON THAT ATTENDS THE EVENT TO MAKE YOUR CARD. Final count will be given by August 16.
***If your card uses glitter, you must bring a tray to catch the excess glitter.
