Hello Lovelies!

In this swap you're going to be making a snail mail flip-book.

You'll need to get your creative caps on for this one!


What is a 'flip-book'?

This is more than your average letter!

(other names for them are booklets or folders but I think flip-book is the most popular name for them at the moment...)

  • They are either a large sheet of paper folded in half, into 3 pages or however many times you can without it being too small, or pages stuck together with tape so you can have multiple pages.

  • They contain a letter (either in a pocket or tucked in creatively somewhere), pockets, decoration, and goodies for your pen-pals.

  • They are usually over 5 by 5 inches (when closed) but other than that sizing is usually up to the person creating it - as long as it is not to small and not too big. They also don't have to be the same size length and height.


The way you decorate it is completely up to you!

Ideas -

♥ Quotes ♥ Die-cuts ♥ Pictures ♥ Stickers ♥ Sticky notes ♥ Stick in a small card ♥ Banners ♥ Mail tag ♥ Dimensional stickers ♥ Things stapled in ♥ Lists of your current favourites. ♥ Stick in an envelope ♥ Run it through a sewing machine. ♥ Add a belly band ♥ Add pretty envelopes full of goodies ♥ Paper clips ♥ Project life cards ♥ Tape on additional flaps...

Use your imagination! ^_^

Swap requirements -

  • A lovingly made, decorated snail mail flip-book.

  • How many pages is up to you - but 2 pages is the minimum (basically a page folded in half)

  • Theme - Senders choice

  • A handwritten letter. About 2 sides of A5. (5.8 inches by 8.3 inches) or equivalent.

  • Needs to have some goodies, (things like stickers, washi samples, little notebooks project life cards, embellishments, ephemera, basically anything that can fit in your flip-book!).

  • Emphasis on the 'decorated'. It can't be just folded patterned paper. Please put your heart into it! ♥

  • It does not have to be profile based so you can start making it now if you wish.


Swap entry requirements -

  • Rating requirement - 4.99. Newbies with well filled and detailed profile are welcome.
  • No one with current 1’s or unexplained 3’s allowed.
  • I will look at everyone’s profile and rating before assigning partners and reserve the right to ban anyone I feel is a bit dodgy or do not meet the above.

Any questions let me know!! ♥
