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

Swap #15=> Choose Your Pick

Hello Guys,

We are back after a very short break ( JUST 8 months, LOL!!). There was just a major upheaval in all our lives. Saumya got busy with work, Tejal was shifting, I was married.. SO basically all of us got lost in our own web of things. Now slowly and steadily things are getting back to normal and we are hoping that we can we can get swap central up and running as it was very very soon. There were a lot of requests from you guys  asking us to get back and we are trying to do just that.

This time we are doing a card swap but with a twist. We are giving you a list of elements to choose from to make your cards. We never have enough cards ready when we want to give it to someone. So, here is your chance to get yourself back to the crafting groove.

What you have to make

5 cards of minimum size 4x6 with envelopes using the elements being listed below. Each card has to be different. Please Do Not Give us 5 of the same. You might want to repeat the elements in your cards which is ok. But it has to be different in design. Ensure good sturdy card stock is used to make your cards. We will now be getting strict with the kind of materials and swap you create.

The Elements are as listed below. You have to choose one element from each Row to make your card. One element from each is COMPULSORY.

You may use 2 elements from a particular column too which is ok with us. The bottomline is one element from each column. Anything over and above that is a bonus.
 For e.g I might be making a birthday card with the option of layers. From embellishments I might use flowers, butterflies and bling with say dies and colored image.

NOTE:- Just distressing edges would not count as using distress inks. A more visible use is to be made when using that product to work with.

For general rules please read the FAQ post before joining the swap.

From this swap on we would be sending you only ONE reminder email for the status of your swap. If for any reason you do not give us a reply within 48 hours, you will be removed from the list of swappers. We got tired of hounding after some of the miscreants.

Make something you would like to receive. Use good quality products. We would be keeping a keen eye on the kind of products you use. Like we always say. Please make something you would like to receive in return.

We now reserve the right to stop someone from joining a swap. 

Registrations begin from the 1st of June and would be on till the 7th . From now on registrations would be open for a week. 

Work in progress pictures are to be sent as soon as you finish 25% of your work. When and how soon we leave it to you... 

The final pictures are to be emailed to us by the 23rd after which you get your partner names.

The package has to reach your partner no later than the 5th of July. If we receive complains for late delivery, Black mark.

Please ensure that you pack up the swap well.
