Hi got this idea from reading the forums, and though what the hay I like that idea, I'll do it!!

So to 2 partners you send at least 50gms(about 2oz) of punched paper pieces. I'm making this weight based as we don't all have the same sized punches or weight paper , but this should mean we all get about the same.

You can buy your punched (or die cut) pieces or do it your self. Sizzlix or similar is fine as well as more conventional punches.

Newbies welcome 4.5 rating or higher with no more than 3 no-sends in the last 3 months. I will ban if I think it's necessary.

I will also angel this so let me know if you don't get anything in the post!

In summery - 2 partners

           you send 50gms of paper shapes to      each partner

Happy Swapping! :o)

wow~ I didn't think someone would read my suggestion and organize a swap so quickly ~ THANKS!!!!

so, can I be in it??

I am a newbie :)

and making it weight based is an excellent idea :)

I'm so glad you are hosting this, Katrina! It seems I need projects like this (and working on ATC's) to get me to really look through my supplies and start using them! I've been more of a collector of supplies - so this swap will get me to dust off my Sizzix and the hundreds of dies i have and to actually DO something with them. Thanks for providing some motivation!

Hello! It is a great idea! :) Andrea

Shirley 01/ 8/2008 #

Now I just need to find a place to weight them ^_^

katrina 01/ 8/2008 #

Thanks every one 11 people already! Yes it is international, I am in Australia too. Also shirleycr most kitchen scales can weigh things in 25gm or 1oz increments. yippee I am soo happy people are interested in this!

Shirley 01/ 9/2008 #

I'll try to get a kitchen scale if they're not too expensive :) I'm pretty excited too! Went to buy some puncher thingy yesterday :D

this is a cool swap im a newbie and in australia but i dont mind sending all over now i better fire up the cuttlebug and sizzix machine gonna make the kids use the punches to punch out lmao xxxx

Can they all be from the same punch or must there be a variety of different ones?

alifromourpatch 01/10/2008 #

wow, I've been punching away and went to weigh my piles and they only weighed about 10grams each :(

It's a good job there is plenty of time to punch away!!

Some people are having trouble making up 50gms with their punches , especially if they ( like me ) only have Carl punches. So if you are having trouble I don't mind if you go and buy a few extra die cuts, just make sure you are sending the right weight and a some you have done your self.

katrina 01/14/2008 #

paflip25 they should be a variety of colours and shapes

kraftytanya 01/22/2008 #

i do a lot of my punched shapes in white so that they can be coloured,stamped,inked ect when needed so hope thats ok

katrina 01/22/2008 #

that's fine too kt but I would hate for some one to get all blue or all purple or something like that .

Partners have been assigned,and I will angel this but do allow at least a month for mail to get around the world for this one. Remember not all post offices are as quick as each other.

I had planned to punch them all myself, but then I figured out that with the little punches I have, it would have taken forever. So I bought some die-cuts in addition to that.
