Swap Guidelines
You may have several questions about card swapping: what to make, how many to bring, and how to swap.
First, remember that you must sign up to swap. This
will ensure that participants make the number of cards they will need to
exchange. Following are some general guidelines for
swaps.
The Card:
- Design a full card (not just a front) using Stampin' Up! stamps, cardstock, ink and embellishments. There is no designated theme for this swap.
- The rule of thumb on card swap designs is to make the kind of card you would like to receive in return. In other words, do your best work.
- A swappable card usually includes at least two layers of cardstock and an embellishment, like ribbon or brads. Including a technique is always a plus.
- Once you've settled on your design, duplicate it. An assembly line works best. Cut all of your cardstock first, then stamp all of your pieces, and finally assemble each card.
- Make sure you include your name (and maybe even contact information) on
the back!
Swapping at an Inkspiration event:
- Upon checking in at our event, you will have time to mingle, check out the display boards, enter for door prizes, assemble your stamp set (no cutting required this time!), and swap.
- There will be a designated area for swapping, and we will point you in the right direction.
- When swapping, you will exchange one of your cards for one of someone else's. Naturally, you will ooh and ahh over each other's fabulous designs!
- Once all of your cards are gone, your swapping is complete. At the end of the day you will go home with a stack of wonderful cards to send or duplicate!
