Description:

For some reason @stephiedee trusts me enough to let me run this round. It's like she hasn't figured out I am a maniac yet. (This is her swap description, more or less)

In this “Mystery Kit Craft #1” inspired swap, all participants will receive a kit of 6-ish items that they will have to use to create a piece of "art". The kits will consist of mostly identical, flat-ish items suitable(ish) for paper crafting. You are encouraged to use additional items from your own stash to create an interesting piece of artwork for your partner.

THE RULES

  • Kits will be sent out to all participants after partner assignments have been made - this will ensure that only those who are actually able to participate get a kit and I’m not wasting supplies/postage. I will send them out the day of or the day after partner assignments. Extra time will be factored into the swap period for the mailing of the kits.

  • The swap is limited to 5 other participants besides myself (6 participants total). Please use the comment section below to let everyone know when you have received your kit safely. You can start your project as soon as your kit arrives. If the kit arrives damaged in any way (or doesn't arrive at all), please send me a message. I am 98% confident they will make it fine though, probably.

  • Kits will contain: 1 "image", 1 "embellishment", 2 texturey type elements, 1 patterned paper and 1 wildcard item. You are required to use each different item in some shape or form in the artwork you create. Multiples of certain items will be sent as alternative options - you will only be required to use one of these (but are free to use all if you choose). Any leftover items are yours to keep.

  • You can make any type of artwork you wish with the items in your kit: ATC or other sized art card, altered tag, etc. - this is sender’s choice.

  • HOW you use the items is up to you as well. You can alter the supplies, use items as stencils/masks, make die-cuts - just be sure that each different item is used to some extent in your artwork.

  • This is not a competition to see who can make the most with the least. Please DO use additional items from your own stash along with the kit to make a creative and interesting piece of artwork for your partner.


Once the swap is underway, I will set up a thread in the forum where we can all show off our creations. They will be beautiful.

Yassss, I got in! Cannot wait, this is such a neat idea!

oblivionspin 04/29/2016 #

:D Glad you got in! I have been setting aside some interesting bits for these kits. It might be a little more chaotic seeming than the ones Steph put together, but I think it's going to be a fun mix to work with...

Heynowokay 04/29/2016 #

I LOVE chaos. My art space is nothing but, so I'm sure I'll have a blast with this!

One more spot! Who is going to grab it!? Will it be me ... ?

stephiedee 05/ 5/2016 #

Whoever wants it better take it now because if there's still a spot open tomorrow I'mma snatch it up! 💀

JeanetteC 05/ 6/2016 #

Ugh I can't believe I missed seeing this =o( Have fun.

stephiedee 05/ 6/2016 #

Jeanette, I've dropped from the swap (and messaged you). Please join! I only signed on as I thought no one else was going to take the last spot.

oblivionspin 05/ 6/2016 #

If the 6th spot does not have a body in it before the deadline for join ups (tonight) I will extend sign ups until tomorrow and somebody better jump in because I will assign partners tomorrow evening. I want this mystery crap off my floor before I die tripping over it.

oblivionspin 05/ 7/2016 #

(full disclosure, I deleted the giant memes because they were making scrolling hard.)

Partners are assigned. Participants are sealed. I will be finalizing the kits tonight and tomorrow and they will go out with Monday's mail.

Please post here (or otherwise let me know) when you get your kit!

JeanetteC 05/ 7/2016 #

Ugh...again! LOL I REALLY appreciate your giving up your spot Steph...and am equally sorry I obviously don't log on often enough to have seen your message in time <3 Have fun you guys.

oblivionspin 05/ 7/2016 #

deet da dee, check the group more often, Jeanette! There is tons of fun stuff popping up when you least expect it. And this swap will run again!

Heynowokay 05/12/2016 #

tristitia 05/13/2016 #

My kit is here... And I don't know what to do with it!!!

oblivionspin 05/13/2016 #

oh good, hopefully @belfrybat will be getting hers very soon.

You have to make something with it, duh. (If it is any consolation, I have no idea what I am doing with my supplies either.)

Heynowokay 05/14/2016 #

Guess I'm a weirdo, I'm almost done with mine. Well maybe not weirdo, it's my last week before summer class starts, haha. Life of a working grad student!

BelfryBat 05/15/2016 #

Got mine yesterday! So excited!

BelfryBat 05/15/2016 #

Got mine yesterday - so excited! Have no idea what I'm going to do. Aaaggghhhhh!
