Craft Club Swap #23: Penpal Flat Mail and Letter!

Hey friends! As always, this swap is open for every member of the Craft Club: newbies and swap-veterans! You don't have to be a crafting king or queen: I love these swaps because there are so many amazing people in this Club, and I want you all to meet and get creative! 💌 All you need is a filled out profile: no blank pages allowed. Feel free to check mine, or someone else's, for some inspiration! [last swap I got some questions: these swaps are for members of the "Craft Club" on Patreon. They're part of my YouTube Community. To see my YouTube channel, check my profile!] 💕

The objective is to craft aaaaany penpal project you'd like, in a style of your choosing: floral, botanical, Christmas, Fall, Spring, vintage... You choose! Bonus points if you match it to your swap partners' profile, of course. Accompany this with a letter talking about your year. Anything you'd like to share, whether that's a big life event, goals you worked on, favourite day of the year, what your focus was, what you did for self-care, plans for new years' and so on! Doesn't have to be a 4 page letter, just write what comes to mind. Then, share a little about the upcoming year: any goals/focus points you have, exciting events, things you'd like to try/learn/see/visit? You name it!

Here's the guidelines:

• create a penpal project in theme of your choosing. Bonus points for matching it to your swap-partners profile. What you make is up to you: just make sure it's decorated and made with love.

• fill it with some goodies, handmade or store-bought. Think of tea, stickers, die-cuts, wax seals, doilies, tags, washi samples, handmade embellishments, tiny words, dried flowers... Try to include 3 different 'types' at least: so not just stickers or only paper scraps. Make a fun combo.

• include a letter writing about your past and future year. Any goals, achievements, wishes or dreams? Anything fun or large that happened? Doesn't have to be a huge letter, maybe try to go for 2-3 letter sized pages.

• make sure it's a fun bundle: you don't have to gift wrap it, but make it personal. A decorated envelope counts, or a ribbon etc etc. We're aiming for a mail of around 40 grams, to keep it affordable :)

Most importantly: have fun! For sneakpeeks, use the hashtag #CraftClubSwap or #plbcraftclub!
