Number of swap partners:3
Description:

For this swap you will hand stamp two sheets of A4, or letter size card stock of rubber stamp images for THREE partners.

SWAP REQUIREMENTS: NOTICE - DO NOT JOIN IF YOU CANNOT MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS!!!!

   Use a waterproof ink such as Stayz-on or Archival ink to stamp your images;

   Use a good/decent quality  **card stock**

   Cannot stamp a decent quality image;

   Cannot make six pages of images;

   Have a crappy recent unexplained rating of one or three.

Do NOT copy the sheets on a photocopier- it smudges if you try to use paints, marker, or watercolors to color your images.

So. Stamp six pages. Two pages to each of three partners.

Neat stamping. Please, no blurry, smeared, or double images. Also, it has been suggested that small sizes of paper are easier to send, and also that some space should be left around images. What this has led me to think is that maybe you could cut your A4 or letter size sheets of card stock in sizes suitable for the images you are stamping. Then the person who uses them can further define the shape as they want.

Waterproof ink.

Tailor to partners' profiles if at all possible.

I will angel if necessary.

OK I am in. I will be stamping a bunch of Enchanted Gallery domino designs. I also have some Graphic 45 sets and a fair bit of Tim Holtz. I think once partners are assigned I will PM to check what my partners would most like me to stamp for them.

Thanks for setting up this swap!

Here are the pics of the TH doll stamps. I think the stamps themselves are mounted on about a 4-1/2 X 5 inch piece of wood .

I stamped these dolls, enlarged them, and colored them with watercolor pencil. Then I cut them out and mounted the cut pieces on another piece of cardstock. Now, when I want to make these in a larger version, I can just color copy them. I originally did this because I copied this onto a sheet of matte white shrink plastic and put the dolls together with brads. I think I swapped one of them, but the other one I took apart. I took photos of the shrink plastic dolls, but am not posting them because I didn't really like the way they turned out.

Thanks for info about rubberstamped sheets swaps.
Good to know what is wanted before I start stamping.
It will take me a while before I have rubberstamped sheets ready for swaps. Just got my big moving box full of rubberstamps, ink pads, etc. brought to me by my family. We're emptying out a storage unit we got during our move to FL.
I bought some "Staz On'" & this is first time I use it to rubberstamp on different paper.
Waterproof ink used with rubberstamping on cardstock, good quality paper best for doing colored pencils over the images. Also works well with copic pen markers.
Anyway, got to get back to work.

@Spot - those are soooo cool! I can't wait to get moved and settled and get all my stamps out - then you will have to host ANOTHER ROUND of this great swap!!!

I am beginning to get a little apprehensive about this swap. I have some nice Tim Holtz stamps and some other collections and a lot of simple stamps. But it sounds like I am a novice collector compared to the rest. Do I have a reason to be?

I have varying interests so many of mine in my collection are from a lot of different companies. I usually pm my partners for ideas of images they might like if that's okay.

Mine are on their way. DC 03110820000226158478, 03110820000226158461, and 03110820000226158447. All went first class. Hope you can use them.
