Personal Swapping Kit

I saw one of these at Urban Ourfitters and passed it up. What a great idea! I'm watching this one, just to make sure I can do it.

What is a swap-card?

What is a homemade fake stamp?

What is a stickersheet?

Can I ask what a homemade fake stamp is too, please?

This swap looks interesting, will have to keep it on my watchlist :D

Yes - what in the world IS a swap card? Is it just a card to slip into your swaps with the to, from and swap name? Does it differ from a note card because it's already pre-labeled with your Swap-bot username?

A Swap-Card is just like a business card, with your name, swap-bot username, the name of the swap, the name of the item, date, and any other info that would be useful to your receiving partner when s/he opens the package to know the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of the package.

A Homemade fake stamp is a faux postage stamp, something to decorate the package with, often made on the computer (digitally as in Photoshop, or Paint) or hand drawn/colored, orcollages with little magazine pics(like inchies), etc and a border to look like the perforations of a postage stamp.

Stickersheets are not something I deal with, but I assume the are sheets of little stickers, also for decorating?

I'd think mailing labels/return address labels with your partner's info on them would be more useful in a swap-kit, so maybe?

twobluecrows got it all figured out laughs

A stickersheet is a sheet of stickers. Fake postage stamps are little pieces of art you can make yourself that look like stamps. A swap-card is described by twobluecrows in a better way than I could ever do myself ;)

• You are always welcome to add more stuff to your partners package such as address labels or any other things you think could be interesting for your partner to recieve.

The 6 items in the description are the items that have to be in the swap.

Thanks everyone for the clarification.

watching this one as I put on my thinking cap..great swap idea!

I'd love to do this, but I can't this time around. Please let me know if you host another! Best, -m

@stuiomnivorous : Sure I'll let you know :-D

A personal swapping kit package was mailed out today to my partner. It's coming via Parcel Post with delivery confirmation. I'll PM you the DC number so you can track the package if you'd like.
