Description:
Buy a fussy cut book on Amazon or make a mini one?? Let's be creative and Swap: make a mini booklet of stamped images for one (1) partner. The size of the booklet should be no larger than a standard A7 greeting card (5x7inches), have a minimum of 5 pages, and should have a variety of images for your partner. Images should be on one side of page - 3-5 images per page depending on size. You may send more but one booklet will be under $.66 postage stamp & 1/4in thickness. Follow this great video to guide you: Gina Makes It Binding: can be stitched or stapled or tiny brads down the center. Recommend staples as the intent of the booklet is to rip out or cut the pages and binding is for a more polished & stable appearance but whatever is easiest to make. staple idea short stapler method - same as above but whole process & cardboard to help with staples simple thread Questions - send me a message.

I really like this idea!

Great @LahDeeDah - I hope you join the swap!

I'm watching, for now, because I started wprking on it and realized my stamps are kind of crummy. I'm not getting clean images. So, I'll go buy a new stamp pad and see if that helps. I think this is a fun swap, though.

This is such a fun idea, Toni. To be clear in my own mind, if I made similar to an 8-page deco, then I wouldn't have enough pages because there would only be 4 stamped (only stamp on one side). I would need to add another page, correct? Thanks for hosting!

MuggleMom 10/29/2023 #

Hi Sonya! Great question & yes, your idea would be excellent as 8 pages exceed the min of 5 pages + each (5x7) page can have btw 3-5 images. So 5 pages x 5 images is 25 images. 8 pages x 4 images is 32 images - excellent!! PM'ing you also! Thanks for asking - it helps others for sure!!

Updated the description with binding options & video links! Thanks @lobo816 for the question.

Do we have to use different types of pages or can it all be on white cardstock in booklet form?

MuggleMom 10/31/2023 #

Hi @aumonae - Great Question!! Senders choice but if you have some great paper that kinda goes with the stamp "theme", or just white so the receiver can "colour in" before cutting, both are suitable. This appears to have drawn interest so I'll set up another swap soon!!
