Description:

I am new to ATC making, so I’m trying to build up my materials to make more cards. This is a great way to RECYCLE unneeded materials! Some of you might be new and some might have been doing this for a while and have a lot of scrap things you might not need! This swap will give us all some items for making our ATC’s and give you an opportunity to pass on items you don’t need anymore. Please pick at least five (5) things from the list below and send them to your partner! Mixing and matching is allowed. Hearts for sending more items, and profile goodies!

The List – Some ideas of things to send…

  • 1 blank notecard and envelope
  • 2 ATC blanks
  • 1 page of stickers
  • 10 used postage stamps (please don’t send more than 2 of the same stamp)
  • 1 sheet of nice scrapbook paper
  • 1 photograph you’ve taken
  • Interesting magazine clippings or newspaper clippings
  • A bit of Ribbon
  • Seed beads or stone chips
  • Ticket stubs
  • Fabric
  • Scrap bits of paper
  • Embellishments of any sort (coins, feathers, keys, gems, old jewelry, etc)
  • A couple plastic card sleeves
  • Postcard, used or new
  • 5 buttons

Newbie welcome with a filled out profile, if you have any recent 1’s or 3’s please contact me. If you don’t contact me and I check your profile and see them I will ban you from the swap, I’m sorry but this is my first swap I’m hosting and I don’t want any flaking to go on. I will angel if necessary, but please if you aren’t planning on sending don’t join. PM me with any questions.

Feel free to post here some things you could use, for your partner to check out, especially if there are some things you don’t need any more of, or some things you really would like (such as wanting more buttons, or wanting a certain color of fabric, etc).

Used stamps...do you mean postage stamps?

druideye 08/11/2009 #

yes postage stamps, I'll clarify

I will send a little more than 5...

I really need plastic card sleeves and Embellishments. If my partner likes, can send me blanks, plastic sleeves and emellishments only, as i have lots and lots of scrap papers =)

I really like old keys, vintage ephemera (can be copies I don't mind), embellishments and scraps... I don't need too many stamps as I've collected stamps since the 80's. I'd love stickers, especially of flowers, butterflies, quotes or pressed flowers/leaves. I don't need plastic sleeves, got plenty.

having a blast filling up an envie!

druideye 08/16/2009 #

Fun stuff! Hope everyone's enjoying gathering their scraps haha!

I was just wondering if there was a preference or recommendation for envelope size?

SamiE 08/18/2009 #

I would like pages from old books, foreign, if possiable.

druideye 08/18/2009 #

I'd say a 6x9 envelope would hold the stuff but if you can fit everything in a smaller one go for it!

BDooBs 08/19/2009 #

Okay! Sounds good.

As for me I'd like just about anything.. (1 blank notecard and envelope, 2 ATC blanks, 1 page of stickers, 10 used postage stamps, Interesting magazine clippings or newspaper clippings, A bit of Ribbon, Ticket stubs,Scrap bits of paper, Embellishments of any sort (coins, feathers, keys, gems, old jewelry, etc), A couple plastic card sleeves, Postcard, used or new) ..so yeah, really anything. I haven't got much, just getting back into crafting after a hiatus.

raeraethejetplane 08/22/2009 #

Please no postage stamps, pictures of modern fashion models (vintage okay), seed beads or stone chips. Love stuff in Japanese and retro pinup :)

I'll be assigning partners at the end of the day, so if anyone still wants to join please do so! This looks like a great group of people swapping, and please check to see preferences before you make your envie of scraps to see if you can meet any of their needs!

Lisapotterylady 08/24/2009 #

I don't need ATC blanks, postage stamps, or ticket stubs cause I got too many of theses things already! Anything else is fine. Check my profile.

BDooBs 09/30/2009 #

Oh man, I've been excessively looking forward to this swap but it seems that my partner is having some issues. It's the last day and it doesn't look like anything's going to be sent anytime soon. I'm soooo disappointed. I was checking my mail box every day waiting for this one. Big time let down if this doesn't happen for me. I sent my stuff out ages ago!

:(

I have not heard from my partner either, hoping things will work out!
