Description:

Please read full information before joining!!


For this swap you have to comment below in the swap comments when joining. If you are signed up for the swap but you have not commented, then I will ban you from the swap. So please make sure you do this. :)

The idea for this swap is something that I thought of from the tags in the forums. I have participated a few times & love the idea of passing something along that you no longer want/need to someone who does want/need it, and get something in return!

So in this swap you will be sending your 1 partner a flat envelope full of ephemera/stationery/craft supplies (see list below) a minimum of 20g. However, it isn't senders, or profile choice. When you join this swap, you will comment below with 5 things that you can offer these 5 things can be themes or types of stationery/craft items. Please don't be specific, e.g, "1 yellow button" or "fox envelope"... I am thinking more along the lines of, "washi tape samples misc. designs", "project life cards", "vintage black& white photographs", "5x misc ATC backgrounds"

What you offer in your comments your partner will then choose. When you are assigned your partner for the swap, you will find their comment below. You will then message them, as soon as you can, and take up 3 of their offers. Please message them ASAP, so your partner can get your swap done; please don't leave it until the last minute to message your partner; some people like to get their swaps sent right away.

When you get the message from your partner, you will then choose to what to send to them in the envelope of the 3 things they chose from your offer list. You could choose to send all of what you offered or just one.

Wait, what do I do?!

1) Join the swap.

2) Comment below with 5 things you can offer to your partner. Themes, types of swap items, types of stationery, etc. Please be as broad as possible. EXAMPLES:

~ 2 playing cards both 3x misc washi tapes, random designs.

~ misc. pieces vintage ephemera (postcards, old leaflets, bookpages, etc)

~ ribbon samples in black and white colours

~ small animal ephemera kit (1 cat postcard, 4 dog stickers, bird washi tape sample, 5x animal cut outs)

~ landscape postcards

3) Wait until partners are assigned.

4) When partners are assigned, find your partners comment below. See what they have offered, and choose THREE things you would like from their list. Send them a message via swap-bot with something like the following:

"Hi. For the SWL ~ You pick my Envie swap, I choose the landscape postcards, vintage ephemera and ribbon. Thanks!"

5) You send what your partner choose before the deadline. You could choose to send both postcards and vintage ephemera, just postcards, or all 3. Whatever you choose, it must be no less than 20g.

This is a great opportunity to destash so it would be a good idea to go through your stuff and see what you have that is of good quality and you'd like to pass along, before joining & commenting on this swap. Please don't send your partner any trash and anything rubbish, but I know you guys won't. You are definitely NOT required to spend any money on this swap (besides postage)

Happy swapping!! :)

@dabellaraquella Can you please remember that the requirement Weight is a minimum of 20g. If you chose to send only one thing your partner chooses, say the tea bags, 2 tea bags wouldn't be 20g. You would probably use common sense and send more but I just wanted to make sure you understood :)
