Description:

For this swap you will have two partners, and for each partner you will make 3 small envelopes which you will then fill with small surprises. You will send these mini envelopes inside a larger envelope to your partner.

The mini envelopes will be small (2 or 3" wide) and made from decorative paper, or embellished to make them attractive and fun to receive.

Inside each envelope you will put some kind of small embellishment or surprise. This can include punchies, stickers, washi samples, new or used stamps, ephemera, buttons, or any kind of small decorative bits you have. This is sender's choice, but you should check your partner's profile to get ideas on what they might like.

This is an international swap. You may get a foreign partner and have to pay a little extra postage. Also, if your surprise items are not very flat, you may be charged more as well, so keep that in mind when filling your envelopes.

Include a note with your swap, introduce yourself to your partner. Don't forget to include the name of the swap, the date, and your user name. When you receive the envelopes remember to rate your partner.

If you don't know how to make mini envelopes, here is a great blog with a variety of templates in all sizes and shapes. Bella's Free Mini Envelope Templates

This is a Newbie swap, so unrated newbies are welcome as long as they have a filled out profile. We want to know a little bit about you, what you enjoy doing, what kind of crafts you like, and any important dislikes or allergies.

You must be 18 years or older to swap. This is a Swap-Bot rule.

Please ask if you have any questions. I would rather have questions up front than misunderstandings and hurt feelings later.

If partner likes atc or other handmade items would it be alright to sent those?

Yes, a well made ATC is an acceptable 'surprise'.
