I love these make an envelope swaps!!!!! I have received so many super cool envelopes and have learned to make a lot of different envelopes all sizes from this swap. I make most of my envelopes now and people love to get an envelope made just for them!!!!! Keep the swaps coming!!!!!

I want to participate, but I do not know how to make enevelopes. Any websites you can suggest?

ladydy5 08/24/2013 #

Google handmade envelopes or take one apart and trace it.

ladydy5 08/24/2013 #

I will check swappers going to college as I had two flakers from Pennsylvania disappoint people and now apprehensive.

ladydy5 08/30/2013 #

I had two flakers on #15. Can anyone angel and send three envies?

ReaderChris 09/ 1/2013 #

Three "angeled envies" on their way! Just let me know when they get there, okay?

fawnscrafts 09/ 1/2013 #

IF they cannot be folded for sending, please mention that. Some hosts allow it and others do not.

ladydy5 09/ 1/2013 #

Absolutely do not fold your envies to send . Had response to angelling, thank u swappers.

When will partners be chosen? Im new to this website im not 100% how this works! but i loveeee making envelopes!

ladydy5 09/ 2/2013 #

New swappers must fill out profile with more info. I will ban from swap if not. Newbie @enjii day after sign up date names will be available in the yellow box on the upper right that you click on to send to and to rate when you get yours.

ladydy5 09/ 4/2013 #

I have checked all 47 now . I know most of you and so glad you are doing my swaps. I did find one from Netherlands that I had to ban as this is only USA. If you see something I miss please let me know. I will check if more sign up the 7th.

maggiepond 09/ 4/2013 #

I am SO excited! I don't have any ratings yet, but I have a well filled out profile, and I will get a couple ratings soon.

fawnscrafts 09/ 5/2013 #

Thank you @ladydy5 I made that mistake once and never want to do so again, nor have someone mistakenly fold them. Because I shake so much, I cannot cut level or fold level so I just make envelopes for private use now.

xcraftyx 09/ 6/2013 #

Got mine all done! They're so gorgeous, I almost don't want to part with them, haha!! ;)

Momskii 09/ 6/2013 #

Have received so many nice envelopes from this swap, get wonderful comments all the time. Unfortunately, I am packing to move and cannot get to my craft things. Will join again after the move. wonderful coordinator thanks ladydy5

drgngirl 09/ 6/2013 #

I assume theme doesn't matter? I was thinking of making some with Halloween, Christmas, holiday paper......

ladydy5 09/ 6/2013 #

Any kind you want to make, no subject matters.

ladydy5 09/ 6/2013 #

Momskii thank u for the complement, can always use them. Come back when u can.

ladydy5 09/ 7/2013 #

I have contacted those newbies with limited profiles. I do not understand how they neglect doing an interesting profile. They will be taken off this swap tomorrow if they do not fill it out.

Breezybealle 09/ 8/2013 #

@ladydy5 I agree. Half the point in doing some of the swaps is getting stuff tailored specifically to your likes... if you don't fill out anything about yourself how is anyone supposed to know what to send? or in a lot of cases, what NOT to send. Glad you pay attention to those kinds of details. Makes swaps much nicer for everyone involved!

ArtCrazy 09/ 9/2013 #

Oops! Commented on wrong swap!!! Not sent yet!

SimonsMom 09/11/2013 #

Oh boy...this is my first attempt at making envelopes and much to my disappointment I think I stink at it. I joined and will not flake but am making a public plea for forgiveness from my partner. I am usually crafty and creative but I'm not happy with my creations so there will be an extra treat inside to make up for it. Plus...this will be my last envelope swap.again so sorry.

SimonsMom 09/11/2013 #

Crafty I'm so jealous of your talent. I really thought this would be easy for me. :-( maybe you have some tips?

ArtCrazy 09/12/2013 #

@simonsmom I purchased a 'Kreate-a-lope' online ($7.00) it's an awsome template, makes envies so easy!!!

ladydy5 09/14/2013 #

10 have not marked it sent todays send date. . I sent messages to those and I know they will notify me or their swapper of the envies being late. If they don't at rating time please let me know as I have wonderful swappers who will angel.

@SimonsMom never fear, these swappers will not judge you or your work.

@ArtCrazy thanks for the info.

@breezeybeale - I want happy swappers who stick with me in every swap I produce.

ladydy5 09/14/2013 #

3 have answered the call to send, 7 more to go.

ladydy5 09/15/2013 #

Three left without send, just know they will.

ladydy5 09/16/2013 #

Pease don't criticize what you received. Some are just learning this craft.

Cauti92 09/19/2013 #

Cauti92 09/19/2013 #
