Card Candy Swap~Complete

[morgansmom2000]

Card Candy Swap - Due October 8th

Requirements:

Card Candy should be handmade and consist of 4-6 items which have at least 2 layers. For example, a small scalloped circle with a stamped image on it, matted by a second layer. This is not a hard and fast rule, obviously. If you include a 4x5.25 piece of cardstock which has been embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, it would count as one item, and need not be layered. Please use your discretion and send items that you would use!

Packaging Instructions:
Please use a Ziploc baggie for each set and put everything for that set into a bag. Please label each bag with your name so we know who made what. You’ll have 4 bags to enclose in the larger (gallon or quart size) Ziploc bag. - be sure to include your name and your DIS name on your larger baggie.

Required check-ins will be:
July 22nd (verify groups and pm info to me)
August 17th
September 1st
September 21st - General check-in
October 1st - Mail by date
Due to me by October 8th

Mailing:

You may send to me by any method you choose unless you are mailing after September 14th. Then you must mail Priority WITH Delivery Confirmation.
I prefer to send to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9”x6”x2”) - $4.95, Medium/Standard box – $10.70, Large Box - $14.50.
If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include the $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70 and the filled out DC form.
Please include a label (can be the priority label completed with your info or a small address label) for me to use to return your items to you.
DO NOT include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.


I hope you have lots of fun in this swap.

My favorite place to find Card Candy ideas is Splitcoast Stampers, here is a link to a search of their gallery. Card Candy at Splitcoast Stampers (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?si="card+Candy"&cat=14545&x=27&y=22)

While the packaging here is cute, there is no need to package your items like that (unless you WANT to, of course!).

Can I have color- blue. A question about this group- should I do anything like phrases in my color should everything just be general.

Your choice. I went with birthday when I did pink last year, but someone else did yellow and it was mostly flowers.

[Arizona Rita]

Hello, I'd like to try this.
May I please have the following:
Group 5~ general Christmas
Group6~ Does polka dot count as a color? If not, green.
Disney~ Does Pluto count as a boy?
Thank you.

[morgansmom2000]

Sure, polka dot is EVERY color!

[calanniebu]

thanks for signing me up for this one as well. didn't realize (was on my BB at the time) that the sign ups were separate. For the color group, if you decide to only have one group, I would do yellow.

No problem! I'll put you down as a possible yellow ;)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Can I have 6A yellow, 7A Goofy and 8A Tink...I am in the originals for those groups also, so if someone else needs the spots, I can just drop my second choices. But, if the spots stay open, I'd like to do them!!!! I guess that was a pretty round about way of saying that, but it's already been a long day!! LOL it's only 2:30!!!

LOL Thanks!! It is kind of funny looking over your groups and seeing real names instead of dis ones!!!! I like it!!!!! :thumbsup2

[morgansmom2000]

I'll keep this open through the weekend for any stragglers.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Quick question...can the candy for each group be made up of a combo of stamped and cricut pieces? Or should we stick to one or the other?

[hffmnheidi]

Can I have Group 7A Boys for Mickey Mouse

[morgansmom2000]

Can I have Group 7A Boys for Mickey Mouse

Sure can!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Jennifer - if no one else signs up for the second girl character group, I can still make the Tink stuff and add them into my candy set for Snow White. It won't affect anyone in that group as far as making more. And, I have the stuff so...:thumbsup2. But, if someone else signs up, it'll work out that way too!!!!

[hffmnheidi]

My group is correct. Sorry I haven't replied sooner, but my Dell computer has to have the motherboard and LCD screen replaced this week. It "should" be repaired in the next week, but in case I'm not able to get online-I am planning on mailing soon.

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks, Rita, sending one back!

[MazdaUK]

[calanniebu]

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks for checking in girls. I'm hoping to start mine this weekend.

Rebecca

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks for checking in.

[MazdaUK]

Did my box get there yet?:confused3

[morgansmom2000]

[MazdaUK]

:goodvibesGlad they got there safe! hope the goodies come in useful

[hffmnheidi]

My internet access has been spotty lately, but I am back on and my package is going out this coming week.

Thanks for letting me know!

[Arizona Rita]

Hi Jennifer
You may have already recieved them by now but I mailed on Monday.
Im taking a class this week and have been busy with homework, lots of writing and I know I forgot to post.
Hope they pass muster!:hippie:

[morgansmom2000]

Hi Rita, they were here when I got home today. I haven't opened them, but I'm sure they're just fine!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I don't know where my head it lately....I missed the Sept 1st check in. Sorry Jennifer!! I have 2 groups completely finished. The rest are cut and I plan to assemble hopefully over the weekend. If not, they will be done for sure in the beginning of next week. I will ship by the 16th at the latest because we leave for the World on the 17th for a quick stay. So, you will have them by the due date for sure!

[morgansmom2000]

No worries, Erin. I'm thinking we may need to get an extension on this one, so we can get our ABC swaps out of the way and done first ;)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ok...let me know!! If you do decide to extend, I won't have to rush next week to finish up before heading to WDW. That will work! Either way is fine, though. I do have it started, but have to finish the las page of my ABC page swap and this weekend will be finishing the final touches on my Sketch page swap angel spots. So, next week was reserved for this and paper piecing. So, an extension will give me just hte paper piecing which is less stressful!! Anyway, rambling over!! Let me know!

[party of 3]

No worries, Erin. I'm thinking we may need to get an extension on this one, so we can get our ABC swaps out of the way and done first ;)

That would work for me.....

Just saying......

[morgansmom2000]

Okay, 2 weeks - New due date is October 8th! That should give us all time to finish up the others and get to work on these, okay?

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Got it!!! Thanks Jennifer!!

[party of 3]

Thank you!!

[morgansmom2000]

Heidi's arrived today! Awesome! Totally AWESOME!

[morgansmom2000]

Could everyone please check in? My own update is that I'm done with cards and hope to get at least a couple groups done on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

[rlovew]

I have 1 card and the 1 group here to finish. I hope to have them done by Monday.

Rebecca

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I plan to be done early this week and mail by Friday or Saturday. I only have 3 groups to go and they go pretty fast.

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks for updating, girls!

[calanniebu]

I have 2 of these groups done ... 2 started and 2 yet to start ... no worries though, I'll have them done!

[morgansmom2000]

Girls, just wanted to let you know that if you are running late, PLEASE do not worry about it. It's paper. I do not want anyone to stress about getting this or anything else done.

I am leaving for vacation on October 30th. I would like to have these swapped out by then - but if I don't, that's okay too.

NO WORRIES! It's all good ;)

[calanniebu]

Mine (and Suzanne's) will be postal tomorrow. I brought some stuff to work to work yesterday and then proceeded to leave it at work yesterday. GAH! :D

[party of 3]

i'll finish mine over the weekend. ok?

[morgansmom2000]

Sounds great, thank you!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Jennifer - I was getting ready to mail these when I dropped the ABC pages in the mail....then realized (as I was boxing) that I never did one of my groups. Not sure where my head has been lately?? Anyway, I will get the group done tomorrow. They will go out either tomorrow or Saturday priority...w/ dc.

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks for the update, Erin. No worries at all.

I'll admit to being behind myself and haven't gotten anything done this week because of this darned ear infection. I hope to get them done this weekend.
