Description:
Don't you just love getting home and finding awesome and colorful mail in your mailbox? If you do, then this is the swap for you. This is a low cost swap, and I'm planing to host it on a monthly basis. The requirements are: Send a super cute envelope, using any medium you want, stickers, washi tape, rubber stamps, anything, just make sure it looks super cute. Look through your stash and include the following flat items: 1 sticker sheet 5 washi tape samples (12 inch/30 centimeters each) 1 postcard 1 teabag 3 items of your choice, store-bought or handmade. Some ideas: bookmarks, tags, die cuts, stationery, blank notecards, handmade envelopes, confetti, postage stamps, ephemera, smash bits, project life cards, the list is endless. Please also include a nice note for your partner in pretty stationery and don't forget to include your username and swap name. This is a sender's choice swap, so you can get started on your swap as soon as you want. It's always nice to check your partner's profile, but ultimately this is sender's choice, so if you receive something you don't like, you can send it in another round of these swaps or any other swap. The total weight of your envie should be no more than 40-50 grams, so that neither of us spends too much on postage. Use postage stamps if possible. No newbies this time, sorry. I'm trying to keep this a free flake zone. Only people with a 4.85 rating. You must have at least 20 rated type 2 and 3 swaps (in total). No recent and unsolved 1's and 3's in the last year. I will be looking through everyone's profile and reserve the right to ban anyone who seems flaky or problematic. I will angel this swap in case someone flakes, but I'm trying to be as cautious as I can and really hope we can all have fun with this swap. If you have any questions, suggestions or doubts, please don't hesitate to contact me or add a comment in this swap. Happy swapping everyone!

What a shame - sounds amazing but I haven't participated in enough swaps.

I'm sorry for that, but I have to be as cautious as I can. I'll keep hosting more rounds of this swap on a monthly basis. If you'd like, you can contact me and we can have a private swap, or you can wait a bit longer to join other rounds.

This swap look fun and amazing...but i'm sad because cannot enter this swap. I'm newbie....sad sooooo sad!

I will be happy to enter this kinds of swap, but no room for newbies, most swaps of this kind ask for high rating. If we can't prove ourselves, we will not be able to get the rating, the egg/chicken dilemma. Any help? Thanks, Irit â™¥

This looks like so much fun...and really the kind of swap I'm interested in! Can hardly wait until I'm not longer a newbie and can play along!

Girls, I understand that being a newbie can be a bit frustrating when trying to join these kinds of swaps. But there's a reason why costly and highly creative swaps have these requirements, it's because there are lots of flakers out there and we need people we can rely on.

As I said, I will be hosting these type of swaps on a monthly basis, so at some point I hope you can all join us. There are other swaps that are perfect for newbies, they are more simple than this of course, because in case someone flakes, it won't be such a big disappointment or because it will be less hard for the coordinator to angel.

I'm sorry it has to be like this, but we were all newbies once and had to go through the same to get more ratings and a good reputation. Please try joining groups such as Newbie Helpers to get a chance to join fun swaps and move from a newbie to a more experienced swapper.

Best wishes.

I can highly recommend the group "friendlies" too. They have fun and interesting swaps open to newbies. ðŸ˜Š

Thank you for the suggestion, that sounds awesome as well. Hope it's helpful to all newbies and they can soon join other rounds of this swap =)
