Description:

Okay, so its almost time for Christmas and Im getting super excited! I cant wait. I love all things holiday, including the little gift tags. To make them extra special, enclose them in a tiny envelope, also made from beautiful papers. So thats what we are gonna swap. Tiny envelopes with a cardstock insert. (About atc (3.5x2.5) sized.)

For this swap you will have 2 partners and you will make them each 10 tiny envelopes from pretty papers. Scrapbooking papers are nice, beautiful and sturdy, but any sturdy pretty papers will work. Some examples of other papers may be oragami paper or calendar pages. Well, you get the idea. But, please, no sticker slapping. Please use as many different papers as possible, but at least 5 different papers. Please include a cardstock insert so you can use it as a gift tag. Also, if you want to include more that 2 envies per paper, you can AS EXTRAS, but to meet the swap guidelines, there must be at least 5 different designs and a total of 10 envelopes. If you want to include any extras, be my guest. Extras always help if you are aiming for a heart.

We want responsible swappers only so 4.9 ratings or higher with few to no 3's or 1's. (I will ban at my discretion.) Also, must have at least 5 type 3 swaps with 5 ratings under your belt. I will be checking, so if you dont meet the requirements, then please dont sign up.

Here is a template to print an envelope template for free. This template is a little bit bigger than an ATC, so it can also hold a gift card. http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/atcenvelope.htm

Hi! I'm VERY new to all this stuff. Especially little envies. I've been practicing. I'm a bit confused. Do you need to decorate the insert as well as the envies? I have beautiful already designed cardstock that is blank on one side a fancy on the other. Is that ok for an insert? Or can I really play with the envies but need to also do the insert?

I asked because I'm really taking my time and kind of atc'ing the envies :-)

well, you can decorate the insert if you wish, but it is mostly just a small card you can use to write a short "to" and "from" message on. But if you are feeling extra crafty, then dont let me stop you! :D

I'm so sorry, I put the tiny envelopes in yesterday's mail but forgot to post them up as sent. I hope it doesn't mess up my rating \{"~0~"}//
