The Tag & Masterboard Swap

2 for 2 Swap

Theme: Any

Hostess: Cathy Calamas

Partners announced on Sept. 6th

You will be creating 2 different masterboards and 2 tags, one tag from each masterboard.

What is a masterboard? The basic idea is very simple, you make one main artwork onto cardstock and then cut it up into smaller pieces for ATCs, tags, greeting cards, etc. A lot of us already cut up artwork into ATC's so this concept should be pretty easy.

Make two 8”x10” masterboards using only paint, ink, stamps, pastels, etc. The twist here is NO layers or added papers.  Make one tag out of each masterboard, #5 size manila tag (4 3/4” x 2 3/8”).  Send to each partner: one embellished tag and one 4”x6” piece of the other masterboard. Each person will receive two tags and two different pieces of cardstock masterboard that they can use for their own future projects. You may embellish/decorate your tags in any theme. Confused? Hopefully not, but if so let me know .

*Remember you will be mailing directly to your randomly drawn partners so keep that in mind for mailing costs. The thicker and chunkier the tag the more it will cost to mail.
