EP: Pretty Paper Swap (Edited)

Edited: More paper weight information has been added to the comment section below, and there are a few added words within the main write-up as well. It was edited per the first questions in the comments section.

This being an “everything paper” group, let’s share some of the pretty papers in our stash (think scrapbook/patterned papers). If you’re like me you have tons of it that you probably will never use up - - so why not share it and get some new ones in return to play with?

Every time I’m at a craft store or looking a YouTube tutorial for card making, there seems to be another colorful pad or pack (or 2 or 3) that of course, I want. But then I think of how many pretty papers I already have and say no, you don’t need to buy any more…this happens to me a lot. Sometimes I’m strong and sometimes I’m not! LOL

The idea of this swap is that we don’t go out and buy new papers, but rather share papers from our existing stashes. They can be used for ATCs, card-making, journals, die-cutting/punching, etc.

Here are the particulars:

• 2 partners
• A minimum of 12-15 different “roughly 4 inch x 6 inch” pretty papers (see last bullet item), single or double-sided [pretty being in the eyes of the sender and hopefully the receiver (see note below)]. By my scale, 15 papers + the envelope came to just shy of 2 ounces, so for $1.41 we’ll all receive 24-30 “new-to-us” pretty papers to play with. Yay! :)
• The paper weight should be sturdier than standard printer/copy paper. The 24 - 48 sheet scrapbook/patterned paper pads would work well. See more information in comment section below.
• By all means, feel free to send larger sized papers (please do not fold them) or even a bigger quantity (knowing that you may only get the minimum). If you chooser either of these options, please adjust your postage; we don't want paper coming w/postage due.

Note: If you don’t care for the papers you receive, you can always flip them over and see if they are double-sided. You might like one side over the other. If you don’t care for the design side on the single-sided papers, you can always use the white back side for stamping on, etc.
