Hello fellow Paper Crafters!!

I came across this project as I went to download my free Graphics Fairy image of the week. It looks like a wonderful way to use up some of the scraps I have around that are too big for recycling, not big enough for anything else I have going - I don't junk journal, even though I would love to. The number of hobbies I have time for is already over-budget :D

What I love most about this project is that it gives the illusion of fabric with faux stitching. As much as I dream about ways to stitch on my creations, I don't have a sewing machine or space to make that happen. You are more than welcome to use real stitches if you want and also there are some stamps that make gorgeous stitch patterns as well.

Swap: Create 2 tags for 1 partner using the patchwork paper piecing technique shown in the video. She makes her tags REALLY big. You are more than welcome to do that but, likewise, you can make smaller sized tags if you prefer.

The minimum size for the tags you create is 2" x 3" with no max. If you have a tag size preference please post that below and your partner can use that as a guide. please note it IS sender's choice though so these requests would be preferences rather than hard and fast requirements

The aesthetic of the project is up to you INCLUDING the pattern that you fashion with your paper and the embellishments you include (i.e. sentiments, people, animals, etc). This is sender's choice so that you can choose from the papers you have on hand that you think will work well for this. I really want to make mine Autumn inspired as I get excited about Fall. Even though the weather of summer leaving is so very sad to me!!

Find all the details HERE

If you prefer a US Only version feel free to host one. OR let me know and I can happily post one!! I host in YTPC infrequently so I am not up to date on the number of International vs Regional swappers in the group. I think this should be light enough to mail with one International stamp.

See you in the mailbox!! Can't wait to make some of these. They looks so cute - and simple. Please let me know if you have any questions!!
