Description:

* * * * This the USA-ONLY version but if you're interested in INTERNATIONAL please join me at I LOVE RUBBERSTAMPS! * * *

7/22 UPDATE ~ our Deadline is today at midnight pacific-time!

  • please have your swaps mailed and marked SENT!

  • if you haven't rated your partner yet, please do so as soon as possible

  • if you will be late please make sure you contact your partner today

  • if you have not received your swap after the deadline please let me know!

  • this is a USA-only swap so you should receive your swap within 7 days max, if not sooner after marked SENT.

Is there anyone who loves stamped images but doesn't own many stamps? or you own too many and want more?

This is the first swap I'm coordinating so if you have any questions or anything that is not within coordinator rules please send me a private message or leave a comment.

YOU CAN START RIGHT AWAY!!!!! Stamp at least 10 different images onto a square piece of kraft paper or cardstock, can be any color paper and as big as your stamp. These images can later be used in your partners happy mails or tucked between an ATC, journal page, planner page, decorate a DIY postcard, etc or how ever they wish to use them.

STORE BOUGHT (not digital or clipart ) rubberstamp only - It will be helpful if you can list the name of the stamp and manufacturer on a separate sheet of paper, in case your partner wishes to buy the rubberstamp. Also make sure your stamp images are crisp, black and centered...very neat, no sloppy work please.

Sorry, no diy rubberstamps.

Rating: please be kind, if you received at least 10 different images, are crisp and sharp, black ink and on cardstock, rate 5 even if you don't like the image...you can always pass it on to another swap, right?

You can have more than 10 different images stamped with different color ink but at least 10 different images should be in black ink.

I will ANGEL if need be but if you've been known to flake, please do not participate. I will not allow flakers in any of my future swaps. Also, if you're going to be late please have the courtesy to contact your partner - do the right thing, please! I think everyone deserves a second chance.

Having said that, if you'd like to angel with me, please let me know in the comments or send me a private message.

You're only required to send at least 10 different stamped images but you can add more goodies to your partner's happy mail to make it that extra special!

Please have a well filled out profile.

You are NOT sending the actual rubberstamps in the mail; only the stamped images in a flat envelope.

Let's have fun!

PS: I was inspired by A. Zander's creativity to set up this rubberstamp image swap.

INTERNATIONAL version available: I LOVE RUBBERSTAMPS!

Thankyou for joining my swap!

If you are watching, would like to know what would make this swap more appealing. Comments welcomed! Thank you!

MissPaula 06/27/2014 #

Well, I will be honest and tell you what would make it more appealing to me. A Host who angels. I don't understand how, if you are able to participate in your own swap having the 10 stamps, and when properly vetted, the flakage should be minimal, why you would not angel your own swap?

Allison8236 06/27/2014 #

Love this swap, I hope you do a USA one

ruthsinkwell 06/27/2014 #

@MissPaula thank you!

ruthsinkwell 06/27/2014 #

@Allison8236 changed to USA only

2bneat 06/27/2014 #

That's to bad - I just spent the evening making two stamped image booklets for this swap - but I am Canadian. :(

Keruka 06/27/2014 #

Same I would like to participate in an international version

MrsSkywalker 06/27/2014 #

I love the idea, but can't take part since it's US only. :(

ruthsinkwell 06/28/2014 #

@MrsSkywalker @Keruka @2bneat ~ just posted an international version ....I'm so sorry! I hope this makes it up? ~ Sincerely Ruthie!

ruthsinkwell 06/28/2014 #

Thanks for joining my swap! I've sorted out all my faux-pas/ mishaps so there won't be any more changes! I'm a newbie to swaps and coordinating so thanks for helping work thru this!

Allison8236 06/28/2014 #

Thanks for being so accommodating, Ruthie!

ruthsinkwell 06/28/2014 #

ArizonaLaurie 07/ 5/2014 #

Hoping I did the registration right....

bellanonna 07/ 5/2014 #

just a quick question....can the paper/cardstock be printed (not too dark of a print, though)??

ruthsinkwell 07/ 6/2014 #

@bellanonna do you mean like digital printed paper? Yes as long as it is on heavyweight paper

ruthsinkwell 07/ 6/2014 #

@ArizonaLaurie sorry I don't see your profile yet?

ruthsinkwell 07/ 6/2014 #

@ArizonaLaurie - Thank you! I see you're profile now...so sweet! Thank you!!!

ruthsinkwell 07/ 6/2014 #

UPDATE: @bellanonna the image should be the focal point not the background images unless your partner is OK with using digital printed paper.....it's no problem.

kittyhahahotbot 07/ 6/2014 #

Can someone tell me what to do with stamps images. I participated in the last one with my tons of stamps...but what do people do with the stamped images? KiT

ruthsinkwell 07/ 6/2014 #

I color them and stick them in my planner with washi tape.

ruthsinkwell 07/ 6/2014 #

UPDATE: I'm checking participates today just to make sure everyone is located in USA and has a profile. Please have completed by July 8, so I don't have to remove anyone please. Thank you so much!

Allison8236 07/ 7/2014 #

KiT, I usually decorate cards with them, I use them as note cards in swap and I also decorate envelopes with them!

Ruthie - Congrats on the huge success of this swap!!

ruthsinkwell 07/ 7/2014 #

Thank you @Allison8236 !!!!!! y'all are awesome!

ruthsinkwell 07/ 8/2014 #

dvmac 07/ 8/2014 #

Hi Ruth, Why can't I find the international version?

ruthsinkwell 07/ 8/2014 #

msrhetta 07/ 8/2014 #

STOP the press!!! Not all companies have angel policies that allow image sharing , you the hostess and participants can land into big time legal trouble doing this type of swap. I am not going to join for this reason. Unless each player is willing to prove the angel policy of the stamps they want to share in an image swap is ok by the owner/manufacturer of these images, I'd run away..and quickly. Sorry to be the voice of reason. Otherwise you are considered to be a thief. Truth in love folks.

ruthsinkwell 07/ 8/2014 #

I am sorry but I don't understand ......We are not selling the stamped images that is not the intent of this swap.

ruthsinkwell 07/ 8/2014 #

http://youtu.be/PUXbweP3nNk The frugal crafter is not a lawyer but she has been crafting for years and has much experience. She also has links to Angel policies if you are willing to listen to what she says in the video. Thank you all. Happy Swapping!
