Description:

This is a swap I've run multiple times in my profile-based swap group, and I'd thought I'd give it a whirl over here for lots more people to try JUST on the off chance that any of my fellow washi-tape addicts, um, enthusiasts are out there and itching to swap in our group ;)
Each of us will have 2 partners so that you'll get to grant two people's washi wishes, and have a wider variety of your own granted as well. :)

For this swap:

  1. Wishy: When you first sign up for the swap, you'll post in the comments below 5 themes for washi tape you WISH to receive (it's just a bit easier than an entire profile search, and guaranteed to be current that way). Please make sure to list these before the signup deadline in order to be included in the partner assignments.

  2. Washi: Once partners have been assigned, you'll check out your partners' WISHY lists in the comments section of the swap and send samples of washi tape that match one, some, or all of your partners' themes (your choice). You should send at least four different designs of 16" or longer washi tape samples to each partner. Samples should be wrapped around a sturdy playing card or plastic: something with a laminated or taped surface so the entire length of washi can be used.

**please send good quality washi tape (not dollar store/paper tape or other deco tape that rips with a white edge or is shiny/plastic-y).

As long as you receive at least four different 16" samples of washi tape that each match at least one of your chosen themes (and were sent on time, of course), you should rate your partner a 5. Hearts, as always, are at your own discretion.

Have fun!

Some examples of ideas for themes:
♥ solid colors
♥ polka-dots
♥ stripes
♥ chevron
♥ black & white
♥ pastels
♥ brights
♥ multi-color
♥ a specific color
♥ metallic
♥ skinny tapes
♥ extra-wide tapes
♥ food
♥ sweets
♥ floral
♥ animals
♥ birds
♥ ocean/beach
♥ forest
♥ travel
♥ postal/airmail
♥ words
♥ vintage-look
♥ steampunk
♥ kawaii-cute
♥ quirky
♥ a favorite washi brand
etc...

All group members must meet the requirement of at least a 4.98 rating to join. In the unlikely event that it's necessary, I will angel this swap after you have attempted to contact your partner and honestly rated a "1" for a no-send.

Due to its simplicity, this is a fairly quick turn-around swap. Please do not sign up if you can't get your envelopes ready to send out by the send date.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have fun swapping!

If I get a positive response, I'll plan to host more wishy-washi swaps in WIYM in the future. :)

I would love to receive:

• labels/tags designs • silver details • birds! (Any design is fine, just not too Kawaii or cute, I'm fond of realistic birds designs) • whales, or any underwater creature, like mermaids too, hehe • foxes :)

Thank you a lot! ♥
