Description:

Decorate a small matchbox for your partner and fill it with goodies that are appropriate to embellish cards with

Make a card that is not a square or traditional shape to go with your matchbox for your partner Please leave the inside of your card blank so your partner can use the card themselves

Because we have intenational members please give your packages time to reach your partner before you think about rating them

Good idea to pm them first in case mail is late or gone missing (some posties I am sure love our mail)

Make sure you have a fully filled out profile of your likes and dislikes

About rating:

If the swap meets all of the requirements, your profile was clearly taken into consideration, and your package was sent on time, you are REQUIRED to give at least a 5. You cannot rate lower if you did not like the design on the cards or the paper was the wrong colour

You cannot rate a "1" if you received a package. Period.

You should only use the 3 rating if the swap did not meet requirements to the point of excess. Eg. The swap was sent way past the due date,or what is in the swap description was clearly not meant

And if you MUST give a lower rating, please do so with kindness, AFTER all other attempts to work things out with your partner have failed.

It does not matter if you are a complete beginner just have fun and do the best you can

Want to make your package special then why not include a copy of the pattern or template you used to make your card so your partner can try it.

Do Not forget to include a note with the name of the swap and your user-name here at SB so your partner knows who to rate and say thank you to

Need to find a small matchbox now (only large ones in this household). At least if I buy a small box, I can empty the matches into one of my large ones. This will be my first swap involving a matchbox - any pointers (dos or don'ts much appreicated).

Make sure the matchbox is full ~ it travels better that way and is best either wrapped in bubble wrap or sent in a padded envelope.

They can be filled with so many things; brads, embellishments, stickers, ribbon, small rubber stamps, etc.etc.

I'm sure someone else will have more ideas!!

kraftytanya 03/31/2008 #

or put the matchbox in a mini snaplock bag and then padded envy or a tough bag Ali has some good ideas lol

kraftytanya 03/31/2008 #

you can always make your own matchbox too

Mine is off in the mail tomorrow I hope my partner is pleased. I did make my own box so I hope the size is right! Please let me know if there are any issues and I will do my best to fix them! This was lots of fun and I can see them being addicting! Crystal ball says there are more match boxes in my future!
