If you are a newbie and feel this swap is too advanced for you please do not join. I am opening to newbies with full filled out profiles but please only join if you feel you can do this. It is pretty easy just a bit time consuming.

You will have 1 partner. You will make and fill one cupcake box.

First you will make the cupcake box by printing out the jumbo cupcake box template found on the site linked here Get the template here It will be found at the bottom of the first post, it is the second PDF file the says cupcakebox jumbo.

Print it on paper or cardstock. If you print on paper llike I did you will have to glue the template to something sturdy. I used a recycled frozen pizza box and when it dried I then cut it out and scored it. I hot glued it together and then decorated it with watercolor pencils and embellishments. I premade mine to have a pic for you to see what you will be making.

Decorate it how ever you like, be unique.

After you have made and decorated the box you will need to fill it with goodies. All the goodies do not have to be cupcake themed but some MUST be cupcake themed.

Goodies can be and are not limited to:

Note Cards

Post Cards

Stickers

Ribbon

Candy (check for allergies)

Teas or other drink mixes (check for allergies)

Mini stuffies

inchies

Mini envies

Keychains

Beads

Jewelry

Mini book or journal

Felt

Fabric

Soap (I sell these hehehehe)

Bath salts or other pampering goods (I sell these too hehehehe)

Or any other items you can think of

Sender's choice but it's ok to check profiles for likes and dislikes if you like. Remember you can always save items you don't like or use to add in other swaps.

Once your box is filled I recommend wrapping it in tissue with a tie of some kind or putting it in a pretty cello bag or such so the contents don't go flying out all over inside the package.

Please do not send "junk". This has a different meaning to different people but basically do not send old, dirty nasty items that you don't want or use yourself. Do not send trash like used wrappers and the like or anything broken.

No rating under 4.5 and no 1s or 3s within the last three months without a really good reason...if you have any do not join without contacting me first. I will ban anyone I feel does not fit the requirements.

Please be advised of shipping cost and shipping time as this is international.

You will have 2 weeks to make, fill and ship your swap from the deadline sign up date.

Remember that swap bot gives you two weeks before making the 1s and 3s available to rate so you will have that much time to get your package to your partner......not to ship. But if you have not shipped and the deadline ship date has passed you MUST contact your swap partner and let them know you are running late.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!!

BTW I took a few other pics of the box from other angles See the other pics here

I dont have a printer, i was wondering if i could just draw my own cupcake at the right size to make the box.

Lanie 04/30/2010 #

@ slowlydrowning4u if you can make the box by hand drawing it be my guest just make sure it is big enough like the one in the template.

Also, if you have a library close by you can print there, just a thought.

slowlydrowning4u 04/30/2010 #

It looks about 3 inches tall is that right?

Lanie 04/30/2010 #
