Description:

After 8 rounds of my swap "send me cut outs" it's time to introduce a new one :) Please note you are more than welcome to join both or either of these swaps; they are not dependent on each other.

This swap is for sending a variety of cut-outs & paper to your swap partners that they can use for mail art, ATC's, collage, smash/junk journals etc.

Swap requirements: in an envelope minimum A6/4.5 x 6.4 (standard envelope) fill it with cut-outs. You must find these cut-outs yourself and spend time cutting them out for your partner.

  • The minimum cut-outs you can send is 20.* TWENTY. if you think you can't do this, don't join. yes your partner might count them and yes, you HAVE to send 20. please remember cut-outs are almost weightless and this is a cheap swap to send even international so please do try and fill the envelope.

The twist on this swap is that

  • All cut-outs can only be vintage theme, replicas or vintage ephemera. No random images, patterns, fashion/beauty related cut-outs. Cut-outs can be vintage theme only. For example from: paper ephemera, old picture books, vintage books, childrens picture books, history books (victorian, tudor, etc), old tags, clippings from old magazines, stamps, cut-outs from old postcards, ads, leaflets (attractive ones), vintage themed magazines (real or vintage look/feel), etc.

It is senders choice as long as you follow those guidelines.

You are more than welcome and encouraged to also include ANYTHING flat (postcards, paper scraps, more cut-outs, ads, bookmarks, stickers, photographs)... your partner would like and can use, however please note this does NOT count as 20 cut-outs.

I check everyone profiles. Please have good ratings, full profile, active dashboard. I ban anyone I think can't fulfill this swap within reason. Comments are your friends! if you're confused about this swap, message me or comment below.

Swap recap: send 20 vintage cut-outs from any paper medium to each partner in an envelope.

happy swapping & have fun!!

are cut out images printed on computer (like from the Graphics Fairy) ok?

cutesygirlynai 03/15/2014 #

@dmarie only if you are sending other types from magazines, books, ephemera etc.

To everyone watching this swap: please let me know if you would prefer it if I dropped the required number of cut-outs from 20 to 15 or 10.

Thanks @cutesygirlynai

If the beauty/fashion cutouts are of a vintage theme or from way back when, are they allowed? Thanks.

cutesygirlynai 03/16/2014 #

@catcare yes as long as it is vintage or vintage replica.

catcare 03/16/2014 #

Thanks for your prompt answer to my question!

So just double checking, if we send cut outs from books etc we are also allowed to send some printed out from a computer to make up the 20? Or do print outs not count in the 20? I'm just not sure if I'll be able to find 20 from books, ephemera etc and I recently found some fabulous vintage ads online that I would love to share

I probably would have joined if it was only one partner to send 20 pieces to, or 10 pieces to 2 partners.

cutesygirlynai 03/18/2014 #

@keruka yes only if you are sending other types. Because printed computer paper is not ephemera or vintage, it is modern.

It doesn't just have to be from books. It can be photographs, old ads, leaflets, etc as long as it is vintage.
