Description:
I make/use these as my info enclosures for swaps - they're quick, easy, and fun to make! You can do a million different things with them, though I think the simpler the better. Goal: to create a set of 10 Embellished Index Card Cards for your partners (20 cards total - 10 for each partner) Particulars: cards must be an index card (3x5, 4x6, etc) - with the ruled/lined side inside for writing cards must be folded (see picture for example) with one side decorated (it's essentially a card, only small!) senders choice on design/theme nothing offensive, etc unless your partner is into that you do not have to make/include envelopes If done flat (ie: without bulky embellishments) it should be a cheap to send swap! {Sorry, not an international swap} Newbies welcome to join; I will be checking profiles before assigning partners and if there are issues I'll contact members in question. Any questions let me know! Image and idea came from here: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/saaleha/5600249370/]

Oh what a cool idea!!! Now why haven't I thought of this, lol. So, only 3x5 cards are acceptable...not 4x6?

This would be neat for junk/smash books too! For journaling on. Watching for now.

Wish I had time for this one! Hope to see it again in the future!

@bettflow - 4x6 is fine! I am changing it now.

So you would be making 20 cards-10 for each partner, right? Or making 10 cards-5 for each partner? This is really a cute idea :) I'm on watch for now

@DixieDiane - 20 cards - 10 for each partner!

SO excited for this swap. I use index cards A LOT in my crafting & swapping too, so this is right up my ally! Thank you for posting/having this swap! :0)<3 ~ChÃ¤ntÃ¤l

Oh great!!! Thanks @collectedmess for including 4 x 6 cards:))) That is the only size I buy and have alot already on hand and more embellishments than I could use in my lifetime probably, lol So, this will be a no cost swap for me and will be fun making these cards!!! Excited that you came up with this idea.....soooo cute!!!

collectedmess 04/17/2013 #

@bettflow - no problem! i have a ton of both size cards but i only use the large cards for cataloging the mixes i make. i have been making these for a few weeks now and they're super handy! and yay for stash items to use!

Oh what a GREAT idea collectedmess!!!! I just found this, so I hope you do another one in the near future. I would love to try it. I never thought of doing something like this. This time around there is not enough time for me to join. It is a very cute idea!!!!!

bettflow09 04/19/2013 #

Oh, one more question. So sounds like we only make the embellished cards? Not envies to go with them right???

bettflow09 04/20/2013 #

I decided the send date is too close for me to have time to get these sent out with all the other swaps I am obligated to so I am bowing out of this swap. I would love to be in on one like this if you have one like this again soon:))) Please shoot me a PM is you do this again soon!

collectedmess 04/20/2013 #

@bettflow - no envies! and i'll let you know!

PurpleButterfly 04/21/2013 #

bettflow09 04/22/2013 #
