Would anyone else be interested in doing a swap or share of color cardstock swatches? I really want to fill in some holes in my collection, but colors on a screen aren't always the most accurate and most of the companies I'm interested in don't sell a sample pack (or at least a full sample pack of ALL their colors; BIG pet peeve of mine!). I'm trying to be more frugal, so I don't want to buy one pack of each color just to discover that half of the colors are very similar to what I already have.
I'm not talking about a big swatch, maybe sending a 2" square piece of each color through the mail in a plain envelope. Just enough for someone to get a sense for the colors. If multiple Peas are interested, I'll make up a Google Doc to track all the details, such as different colors and brands.
If you are interested, then list what colors/brands you're looking for and what you have to share/swap like I've done below and we'll figure it out from there! Thanks to anyone who wants to join in, this would be awesome!
Brands I'm interested in: Concord & 9th, Hero Arts, The Stamp Market (everything after the original 12 colors), Spellbinders
Brands I have to share/swap: Papertrey, Simon Says Stamp, Bazzill Card Shoppe, The Stamp Market original 12 colors

I don't make/keep cardstock samples, but I do have a few colors from TSM that I purchased for the PinkFresh holiday event. I have no idea what the original 12 colors are, but I will list what I have and if it's something you'd like a sample of, I'd be glad to mail it to you.
Colors: Leafy, Greenery, Dijon, Salmon, Blush, Cherry Kisses, Petal, Fern, Forrest & Tropical Teal

I would appreciate this but alas the only cardstock I have is from Stampin UP. If anyone is interested in swatches of their colors I'd be so happy to share. I would really like to feel the quality from any of the companies out there as I'm trying to branch out and broaden my collection!
I do believe I have every color of SU current cardstock.

I'd be happy to send you a few larger samples (like A2 panels?) of each major brand of cardstock I have so you can get a feel for the actual quality, if you want that instead of color matching. I might be interested in some Stampin' Up, I've never shopped there but I did look at their cardstock colors once and it seems like they have some really nice ones. |

Wendiful, I received your PM and will get those samples to you in a few days. We are expecting a big snow storm here and will try to get them out before it arrives.

Would you like a swatch from all of my colors or are you looking for just blues, reds, etc? Either way is fine with me! |

@wendiful, I sent out your samples last week some time but we are on opposite coasts. I'm hoping you get them tomorrow.

lokismom, so sorry I didn't let you know sooner, yes, I got them and they are great, thank you so much! And your card...I cannot figure out how you made that super delicate flower! It doesn't look printed, stamped or die cut...did you draw it and fussy cut it? It's gorgeous! Thank you again!

So glad you received the samples and I hope they help. As for the card, I believe it was a Memory box die that I cut and colored.
