Number of swap partners:3
Description:

For this swap, you will have 3 partners. You will make 3 of the same kind of letter set in the same color and send one to each of your partners. Letter sets consist of one handmade envelope (sturdy enough to mail) and at least 2 sheets of paper for writing.

The idea is that you make one kind of letter set, but get 3 different colors and themes in return. Enclose a note, but leave the letter set blank for your partner's use. If you want to make it extra special, add some stickers or stamps that match the theme.

When you sign up, list your theme/color so that everyone will have a different theme and color. For example, one person might choose to do Blue and gold, another may choose to do Purple and Cats. This is sender's choice, so you can begin making your sets as soon as as you sign up. Please no religious or holiday themes. Make your theme accessible for many participants.

Creative ideas for supplies to make letter sets:

magazines Newspapers Maps Scrapbook Paper Homemade paper (pulp paper) Children's book pages Vellum Aged parchment

Use stamps, stickers, washi tape, dried flowers, wrapping paper, paint, markers, glitter, photographs, etc., to decorate. Consider personalizing if you want.

Newbies are allowed, but if you have been rated, it must be above 4.9, and no 1's or 3's in 6 months.

I will angel if need be, but please don't flake. If you are creative and make a letter set, yours will be special and different from mine. The more the merrier!

Get your creative juices going and help fellow pen-pals and snail mail lovers along on their writing journey. Write on!

does the envelope have to be handmade. got loads that i can decorate to match the theme? x

Carlyipo 07/22/2014 #

You can "make" the envelope part of the set by either handmaking the envelope, or decorating an envelope to match. Good question!

Thanks, @sylverhawk and @anitahames What great combinations!

Is there a size for the sheets?

My themes, flowerfairies and pastel colours

Carlyipo 07/26/2014 #

@Tesssssa I did not specify. I think beautiful letter paper can be many sizes. I hope people choose good letter-writing sizes.

Carlyipo 07/27/2014 #

I will be making purple and yellow geometric shapes.

Tessssssa 07/28/2014 #

This is a fun swap. I hope there will be more of them!

@Tessssssa I hope so, too! I will do this again in the Fall. Carly
