Description:

I'm one of those penpals that needs more than two sheets for a single letter. I'm also the type that goes with letterpads instead of lettersets for that very reason. But using the same letterpad over and over gets boring. Time to shake things up!

Here's how the swap works. You will have two partners, each to whom you will send a set of 6 sheets with the same theme—as in, from the same letterpad. So you'll be getting rid of twelve and getting two sets of 6 in exchange. Sweet, huh? Matching envelopes are strictly optional (sometimes you get those sets with two or three envelopes included). If you have them and want to send, go for it.

On the subject of folding: Please consult with your partners to suss out their feelings about folding. Everyone is different. I personally don't mind. Paper can be ironed after all. I DO mind if the paper has been folded more than one time. The best method is to bend the sheets over once and press a finger in the center only. It makes the sheets more mailable and still leaves things uncreased enough to work with.

Newbies are welcome if you have a well filled out profile. 4.5 or higher. If you have 1s or 3s within the last three months, shoot me an email and we'll chat about it.

Happy Swapping!

Can these letter sheets be homemade (i.e. rubber-stamped or hand-illustrated) if we make it look nice and put some time into them?

@GingerChewRaccoon Well, personally, I would love to get a neat hand-illustrated (or rubber-stamped, as you say) letter paper from you! As long as it looks nice and there's still space to write on, this kind of paper is even more special - it's 100% unique for God's sake!

However, I'll stay watching for now as it's pretty hard to find letter paper in my country - I've recently found two beautiful (different) sets (10 sheets + 10 envies of each) and bought them at instant, but it'd be sort of pity for me to send out 12 (the majority of what I've got)... If hand-illustrations were allowed, that'd be actually more convenient for me. Or a smaller amount of sheets to swap (4?) maybe...?

Lovely swap, anyway! :)

I have tons of printable stationary and store brought None really came in a pad. Is that just a general saying for the same design?

Everyone, let's keep it to store bought for this round, and we'll talk about homemade for the next one. Or! Even better, someone is welcome to host the next one for homemade only instead.
