Description:

Let's create some envelope art!

We will send 2 altered, heavily-decorated envelopes to 2 partners, using at least 4 different elements/supplies from the list below. You may use any combination, themed or not. So, you can do a "vintage" themed envelope or just use vintage ephemera...or travel-themed or airmail-themed or Victorian-themed...just some ideas!

*washi tape * rub-ons * used postage stamps * rubber stamping * stickers * paint/embossing * staining * pieces of ephemera * handwriting * handmade paper * hand-drawing * wax seals * sewing patterns * stenciling * deco tape/masking tape * zentangle

Please feel free to comment below if I've forgotten any ideas!

You don't have to make all 4 envelopes different (unless you want), as long as each of your 2 partners receives 2 completely different decorated/altered envelopes.

Handmade envelopes NOT required for this swap, but you can make them as well if you like. They will look handmade after we're done altering them :)

Envelopes should be no smaller than 4x6". Business-sized (4x9" or thereabouts is fine too) and sent in another envelope to your partners. Please leave space somewhere on the front ("TO:") so your partners can actually use the envelopes if they choose. This can be part of the decoration.

2 different altered/decorated envelopes (front & back) for each of 2 partners - 6 total

each envelope must have at least 4 elements from the list above

space on front for your partner to use the envelopes

sent in an outer envelope

Usual group rules apply. I'll check profiles before assigning partners. PM or comment with any questions or clarification needed. Two weeks to sign up and over a week to send so you can start altering as soon as you join if you like. I'm excited to see what we come up with! Thanks for joining :) (image is not my original art)

We are 3 people into this swap so far. Does that mean we only have to make 4 envelopes? I won't send any envelopes to myself :-)

Looks like no one else is watching/joining...so I’ll change it to 2 partners but how about 3 envelopes a piece? I’ll message the participants to see if that works!

Swap has been edited since there are only 3 of us :/
