Description:

Here is a great light international swap. Round 3 Thought i would do another one of these swaps as it seemed quite popular. The last mini book swop cost me £2.67 GBP to post to Canada from the UK , thats $4.04 in US Dollars and $4.14 in Canadian dollars and i had a load of tags and embellishments in and on the book.

We will be creating a mini book with just 1 sheet of doublesided 12 x 12 paper - you can use single sided paper but you would probably have to ink over the white side for colour, double sided is just easier but its up to you. If you need a tutorial its here, no special tools needed as you can just fold and crease the paper.

The theme will be chosen by the sender as not everyone has access to the kinds of papers etc that you would need to build round a theme of your partners choosing. I want people to be able to make this mini book with their crafty hoard without having to go and buy more things. You can list what sorts of themes you do like in case your partner already has papers etc that they could use.

This mini book will be embellished using whatever techniques you like, ie, embossing , inking etc and using whatever you would like, small charms, photos.

If you search for primpumpkin on Youtube, you will find my channel , just started out on there and one of my mini books from the last round is on there.

The front Cover will have a decoration of some sort on there, minimum of 4 of the pages must have some sort of decoration on there,I dont mean fully covered as you already have the background paper but you could add a stamp or an embellishment of some kind, either on the page or the little pocket or both its up to you.

and a minimum of 4 of the pockets will be filled with a tag or pull out of some kind, whatever fits your theme. You can handmake the tags /pullouts if you wish but bought are also acceptable, The book will be held together and tie with ribbon.

You may have to trim the paper slightly, alter and adapt as you go, each and every one of these little books will be unique, they may not be absolutely perfect but this adds to the charm.

You do not need to send anything extra on this swap it is not a swap requirement, it is of course entirely up to you. As long as you receive a mini book with the things mentioned above then your swap partner has met the requirements. 4.9 and above only

12x12 inches or centimetres?

debbiesw 04/ 9/2013 #

12 x 12 inch paper

pne 04/ 9/2013 #

OK, thanks for the clarification. That's 30.5x30.5 cm for metric people.

Sorry you cant see the tutorial, if you copy and paste the link I have given into a new page it works right away . Secretterrabite, we are making the book following the tutorial if you havent made one before people that have made them will be able to do it without the tutorial. The book gives a front and a back cover and 8 pages with 8 small pockets.

here is the one i thought about using: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czu41mN0_1A would it be okay to use??

debbiesw 04/13/2013 #

I typed it in and it says video does not exist. The paper should give you a front and back cover and 8 pages with pockets, so everyone has the same I think it would be better to follow the tutorial I have given.

I would be happy with any themes, but here's a few that I would be extra tickled with =) vintage, steam punk, actual punk rock, gothic, floral, black and white, eh you get the idea!
