weekly featured swap: Cute Dessert Matchbox

A little self-promotion this week… The featured swap is the Cute Dessert Matchbox Swap hosted by me (racheljohnson). I have been drawn to the cupcake-themed swaps I’ve seen around the ‘bot lately, but I always feel like I need just a tiny bit more wiggle room on the theme…. so…. I created this simple, fun, cute dessert matchbox swap. For the swap, you simply create or decorate one 32-count matchbox (2 x 1.5 x .5 inches) in any way that has to do with dessert, and fill it full of tiny dessert-themed items. You can include cute kawaii-style food goodies, but the swap is not limited to kawaii. Any dessert is fair game: cake, candy, ice cream, cupcakes, pie, fruit, mil

kshakes, cookies, popsicles… any dessert you can dream of! I know it can be hard to find enough items of a specific theme to completely fill a matchbox, so there can be some freedom on what you include inside the matchbox. If some things simply follow a candy-coated color theme, that is fine by me. Just think delicious and cute!

If you want to create your matchbox from scratch, I have two free downloadable PDF templates that you can use here and here. You can also view lots of examples of matchboxes on my Flickr Swap-bot set.

The Cute Dessert Matchbox Swap is international and all participants must have over a 4.8 rating with a strong swap record. Each swapper only has one partner and you must get signed up before July 4th. Come swap with me!!
