Description: | |
This swap is for deco books with the theme of hand carved stamps. If you do not know what a deco book is, it is a small handmade booklet with just a few pages. It is decorated one page at a time by different people, then mailed back to the owner when it is full. Start with an 8.5"x11" sheet of white cardstock. Slice that baby in half 'hamburger style' ,so you have two pieces measuring 8.5"x5.5". Fold those in half like a notecard, nest them together, and then stitch or staple them and decorate the cover. Be sure to put your name and mailing address on the back so it can be returned to you. This will be a series of swaps to fill up our deco books. We will have time to decorate a page before the next swap. If you cannot participate during one of the rounds, let me know, and you can mail the one you have to me so I can Angel. This swap is for both "established" and "new" Decos. Established= not one you created, but one you have received in a previous swap and have decorated your page. New= One you make for this specific swap and send to it's first decorator. PLEASE SEND YOUR PARTNER 2 DECOS: 1 ESTABLISHED AND 1 NEW. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED DECO TO SEND, YOU MAY SEND 2 NEW DECOS WITH DIFFERENT THEMES WITHIN THE MAIN THEME OF HAND CARVED STAMPS. For example, if I were to send two new decos, I would send one free-theme and one circles-theme or nature-theme or cartoon-theme, etc. Round 3 will be for two established decos plus 1 new deco. We will go up to 5 decos,and then continue swapping. If we run out of players, we may consider making these swaps public. Please do not send unfinished decos home. In order to avoid this happening, if you are partnered with someone and you have one of their incomplete decos, withhold that one and send another new deco. Save that one for the next round. |
