How does the swap work?
· Sign Up: Choose your STAMP SET from the 2023 Jan – June Mini Catalog

· You are allowed to sign up for as many groups as you want, but please make a totally different card for each group.
· let me know the stamp set by Friday, December 15th you have selected for your card(s)
**Each stamp set can only be used three (3) times in each group; this will ensure a good selection of cards to showcase.
1. Design your card:
· Based on the stamp set you selected
· The card should highlight the stamp set
· Follow the swap guidelines as outlined below
2. Place each of your swaps in a quart or gallon sized Ziploc bag with your name, swap name, and group # on it for mailing You’ll send all 11 cards to me please; this makes sorting much easier. (The only variations are those that I send in the final details by email after the swap closes.)
Swap Guidelines for the MINI:
· Use ONLY current Stampin’ Up Product from the January-June 2023 Mini Catalog or 2022 Annual Catalog, NO SALE-A-BRATION PRODUCTS
· Swap is for full cards (5 ½” x 4 1/4″)
· On a separate piece of paper/post it; include your name, email address, stamp set used or any special directions. (Stamp set name is a must, but Full supply list is appreciated) DO NOT stamp your name or put a label directly on the card or clear envelope.

BASIC MAILING INFORMATION FOR BOTH SWAPS:
POSTAGE – Please include postage along with your swaps. (You can make checks out to Jini Merck or send by PayPal using StampwithJini@gmail.com please let me know if you plan to use PayPal so I can look for it. (PAYPAL NEEDS TO BE SENT WHEN YOU MAIL YOUR SWAPS).
IMPORTANT – Please note, if you send PayPal, they will be charging me fees. This is a new thing they are doing and I can’t do anything about it since they aren’t allowing friends/family any longer. So please see the listing for the flat rate fees I’ve listed below so that you send the correct amount by PayPal
It is your responsibility to send payment for return postage with your swaps. I will not be contacting you about problems until after the swaps are mailed.
I ONLY use flat rate priority mailing envelopes – it makes things easier for both of us and I find this less expensive in the long run. In addition, you will receive tracking
Please note flat rate prices are the following:
If sending cash or check (no fee added):
flat rate envelopes $9.90
legal flat rate envelope $10.20
padded flat rate envelope $10.60
medium flat rate box $17.05
Large flat rate box $22.45
IF sending by PayPal (fee added):
flat rate envelopes $10.25

padded flat rate envelope $10.95
medium flat rate box $17.60
Large flat rate box $23.15
(Please note rates will go up again on the 22nd of January 2023. https://naps.org/Post/2023-Shipping-Price-Changes)
No stamps/metered envelopes.
Please know that I’m in a rural area so you’ll have to check with your post office to see what express services are available if you are running late. Some swappers have mentioned overnight has been an issue and not available in my area.
PLEASE INCLUDE A self-adhesive LABEL THAT I CAN USE TO SEND YOUR SWAPS BACK TO YOU – the address on the outside of your envelope isn’t always readable.
2. When will I get my swaps back?
· I’ll be mailing swaps within 3 business days of the deadline date or by Monday, January 9th.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about the guidelines.
