Reveal Day #9=> Tanvi Shah

Hello,

Today sharing with you the pcitures from a fabulous crafter, Tanvi Shah.. Her style is quite eclectic and she dabbles in almost everything..

Here are her cards...







I loved all of them.. I think the use of denim in the last card is pure genius...The napkin fold card has such a dreamy feel to it.. Love the color combo of that one.. the lilypad ne brilliantly colored.. the wedding vows one.. well kudos to anyone who manages to cut through it...and that butterfly card.. elegance..


These beauties went to Nikkita Jain (lucky girl)


Well join us on Monday for the last set of reveal...

Reveal day #8=> Khushboo Rathi Garg

Hello everyone,

It really is kind of weird to make a reveal about your own cards because you can never write which one you like...I leave that judgement on you the readers..

While I am a blog co-ordinator I really am not the most regular on swap central because I get bogged down with work...

Anyways, Here I am with my cards...



So here are my set of cards... These went to Tanvi Shah..

Join me tomorrow with another set of reveals...

Hello,

Today am sharing the wonderful cards made by Charu Joshi.. To say they are pretty would be an understatement... Don't believe me.. Take a look...



I absolutely loved.. Well all of them.. the amazing use of die cuts and layering is classic and gorgeous at the same time...

These beauties came to me and believe me.. the pictures do not do justice to the original

See you tomorrow with my reveals...

Swap #16=>Notebook

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the delayed post.. Just got back from a holiday and took a while to settle back to my normal routine. A big thank you for everyone who joined us in our comeback swap of choosing your own elements to build your card. We have gotten such fabulous entries.. Cannot wait to show off the amazing work done by everyone.

Next month is friendship day so like last year we thought of swapping something which would be memorable and special.. This month we would be swapping notebooks.. Preferably shop bought ones which you would alter although we are not averse to the idea of getting a spiral bound one done by yourself.

POINTS TO NOTE:-

1) The minimum size of your note book is to be 6"x8".

2) A minimum of 100 pages to be there in the book.

3) if you are getting a spiral bound one done, make sure you use either chipboard of card stock of 400 gsm or higher for the cover to ensure that it is sturdy and durable.

4) You have to embellish one side of the insides. Basically personalising the insides too maybe with an image or a quote or anything but make sure that it is flat. That means no pearls, rhinestones or anything 3-d inside.

5) Since we give a minimum size please do not expect the same size like the one you have made for we don't know who is making what size.

6)How you do the cover is upto you. Make sure you make something which someone would like to get in return.

7) Pack your swap well. Last time we had some swappers sending in cards with flowers in flat envelopes which were bound to squash them. Please consider your own hard work when packing to ensure you do not end up damaging it yourself in transit because you did not pack it well.

8) Last but not the least have fun. It was such an amazing experience to have the opportunity to see some amazing creations.

The last date for registrations is 7th of July and We need the final pictures by no later than 23rd July. Sneak peeks are to come in as soon as you begin working. It really isn't that big an ordeal to click pictures while working is it. I get tired asking for sneak peeks and having excuses thrown at me.

Your partner has to receive the swap no later than 5th of August. 

The rest of the rules are the same. No sharing of swaps till we reveal them  on the swap central blog. Once it is on the blog you can share it on your personal space.

We have no issues if you want to watermark your work with a stamp or a sticker to declare it is made by you.

Please drop in an email with your postal address when you have joined the swap.

NONE OF US WILL ENTERTAIN ANY PERSONAL MESSAGES ON WHATSAPP OR FACEBOOK OR OUR EPRSONAL EMAIL ID'S. IF I HAVE ONE MORE PERSON DOING THAT WE WILL BAR YOU FROM THE SWAP IMMEDIATELY. ANY COMMUNICATION IS TO BE DONE THROUGH THE SWAP CENTRAL EMAIL ID- swap.central.india@gmail.com.

For any further queries feel free to email us and we would help you in the best manner we can.

Thanks and hope to see a lot of you join us..


Hugs,
Khush
