Card Swap Details
� This is a full card swap.
� Cards should be a minimum of 2 layers of card stock and must include an embellishment.
� You will need to supply all materials necessary for your card - this includes card stock {cut to your cards size}, stamps, inks, embellishments, etc�.
� Please use good quality materials.
� Put all the pieces necessary for the card into individual plastic baggies for each participant.
� Cards should be able to be completed in 10-15 minutes. If your card has many steps and requires more time, you may want to pre-stamp or preassemble some items for the other stampers to ensure everyone can finish all cards before the end of the day.
� If your card requires special instructions, please include those in each baggie.
� Include a few extra cardstock pieces/embellishments in case of mistakes.
� Bring a basic supply kit. This should include scissors, bone folder, adhesive, pop dots, paper cutter and anything else necessary to make your projects easy for you. Also bring something to carry your finished cards in.
� You need to bring enough supplies for each person attending. Final count will be posted May 1, 2011.
� Stamping will begin at 9 a.m. You may arrive at 8:30 a.m. to set up your card supplies.
� The swap ends at 3 p.m. Since people stamp at different speeds, you will not be able to leave until everyone is done stamping. Stamping will end no later than 3 p.m.

� Cost is $20 per person (if you are attending the retreat, the shoebox swap is free).
