The Envelope Please

In this swap you will make and send your partner 5 handmade envelopes. Please make them from decorative papers (scrapbook, handmade, textured, wallpaper, etc.). No plain colored envelopes allowed.

• 4 of them should be the "standard" 4-sided rectangle shape for mailing cards & letters.

• 1 of them should be an "unusual" shape; something other than 4-sided.

When you make the unusual shaped envelope, you will also make a card to go inside that is shaped the same as the envelope. This card/envelope you will be making for your partner to enjoy; so write a short (or long note inside), perhaps about how you chose what to make or about your day, etc.

If you've never made envelopes before, now is the time to start. They are very easy & fun, and they help brighten up the postal world of "boring white envelopes!" If you need tutorials; search online. You can also gentle take apart any envelope, trace around it, and make your own templates. For the unusual shaped one, if you can't find something online to help you, you'll have to get creative. I created my own from a card shape I cut.

This swap is sender's choice, so you can get started on your envelopes right away.

Everyone is welcome, but no 1s or 3s in the last 12 months. Newbies, you must have a well-filled out profile. I will check everyone out before assigning partners, and reserve the right to ban anyone I think might flake. No one likes flakers; please play nice!
