Description:

I kept trying to figure out how to make a fun, color-based swap and it occurred to me that we all have different favorite colors - how fun would it be to get a super awesome swap from your partner that's brimming with bits and pieces in a color you adore?

To make it more fun and maybe a little easier as well, I would suggest that all participants post 2 colors they love in the comments section as soon as they've signed up. You don't have to send items in both colors, you can choose to send an assortment of one, or both.

The swap will be regional/US only and for an envelope stuffed with awesomeness - at least 6x9, but feel free to go bigger :) 1 partner per person.

If you can, put some mail art on the envelope - drawing, doodling, stamping, stickers, washi tape...the more, the better! It's fun for your partner and everyone who sees the swap along the way.

Items you can include for your partner should be predominantly in either one or both of the colors they will have posted in the comments section.

Ideas for what to include:

  • memo or stationary sheets
  • super cute, fun pens (no boring office supplies!)
  • stickers
  • handmade items, e.g. ATCs, cards etc
  • store-bought greeting cards
  • postcards
  • washi tape
  • ribbon (nothing shorter than 6 inches)
  • Smash Book items (handmade for store bought)
  • postage stamps
  • scrapbooking paper
  • handmade envies
  • buttons

Since this swap is obviously designed to make your partner happy, please be sure to check profiles for any dislikes. Having said that, if someone clearly made an effort for you, please be nice and rate them appropriately - I'd really love to see this swap make everyone smile!

I'm setting the deadline for 2 weeks from now so that everyone has plenty of time to find lots of cool stuff for their partner :)

A few general notes:

  • Please remember to include your swapbot name AND the name of the swap when you mail out your swap!

  • I highly recommend taping the edges of envelopes if you're not using a bubble mailer to avoid disappointments that occur if/when a stuffed envie ends up getting torn or ripped and half or more of the contents are lost. :(

  • It goes without saying that you should not send anything gross, dirty, dingy or smelly.

Got questions or suggestions? Send me a message!

I love all colors so this is actually difficult for me, but right now I'm working a lot with tans. Pink is always a safe bet as I do a lot of pink projects. Now for a twist and if it suits your stash I'm gathering up materials to do a citrus themed junk journal - so citrus shades of lemon, lime and orange.. thanks so much!

Hag53 - I love the citrus theme, what a great idea! I think we could totally do the swap to where people can send their partners a "themed" swap, that might be easier?

I love the combo of purple, green, and blue so any single or combo of those is great!

piratecaptainmo 07/10/2013 #

@sunshinegirl76 What is your favorite color?

sunshinegirl76 07/10/2013 #

My favorites are different shades of blue and green - absolutely ADORE teal, turquoise, seafoam green (you know, that minty kind of green?), emerald green, hunter green.

piratecaptainmo 07/10/2013 #

Sounds like we have very similar tastes in color :)

armadillogal 07/10/2013 #

Jjean 07/11/2013 #

Darker colors of Green, purple,black & white...

grandmaroro 07/11/2013 #

Hey Everybody, I just joined and while I love all colors, light to dark, I find my stash in need of black and white - preferably together. Thanks.

Aww, I got all excited over this swap, then noticed it is US only. :( If you do an International one, I'm in. Iove putting together themed packages!!

sunshinegirl76 07/12/2013 #

Sorry dally, I wanted to keep this one US only but I don't mind if you or anyone else wants to run an international one after the sign-up deadline. :)

Love red, yellow

lexfrog 07/15/2013 #

I like all bright colors, especially turquoise and lime green, but I've been on a bit of an orange kick lately, and I always like pink! Lots of options are good, right?

sunshinegirl76 07/15/2013 #

The more options, the better! Gives your swap partner more to choose from. :) Also - even though I didn't state this in the swap, everyone can send as many different items matching your swap partner's fave colors as you want within the swap parameters - meaning, obviously you can always send more, and if your swap partner loves a lot of different colors, go nuts! LOL :)

I love pink especially brighter pink and bright purple. I also love turquoise and aqua.
