Nesting Envelopes

super cool idea, Carroll!

Good idea, Carroll! It will definitely need to head to the forums for sending order etc. I'll help with that wherever you need me... ;)

I like it! I'm in I was thinking, though…If the last person who receives keeps it instead of sending back to the original sender, then there will be one less artist to contribute to the creation …

(A creates and sends to B, B adds and sends to C, C keeps it)

But depending on the number of participants, maybe that doesn't matter?

Thanks Karen, and yes please (for the help) Mandy...Charles, I was thinking a big group it wouldn't matter but also it is good to have oneself represented in these group efforts as well, so I lean toward the full 360!

We would need to stop just short of sending it back to the original creator. Otherwise, you would get back your own lovely package of collage bits with your note...unopened.

What a fun idea! I'm in!

Okay, yay, looks like a good group coming together! So, just to be clear here, the collage bits are for the outsides of the envelopes, the insides will be essentially empty, with just a short note, um I am thinking like the Russian dolls, so the envelopes are the important parts, the stars of the show, layer after layer! Kinda thing...

Feel a little confused. Do we make one envie for this round or one for each of six partners???? Thank you

@blueackerson You will make one envelope and sent it to the next person on the list. Once this swap closes we'll take the sending order to the forums. In the end you will end up with an envelope with 6 successively smaller envelopes inside.

You will make one envelope, send it to your designated partner (will be listed in the forum) and then as you receive each successive envelope, instead of opening them you will put it in a new envelope, decorate the heck out of it and send it on, so that everyone ends up with a yummylishious nested little (surely plump!) group of envelopes to open!

Head to the forum thread for further instructions

Ack. Still confused! I thought we start with a small envelope stuffed with goodies, that will be placed in a slightly larger envelope by each successive sender (with added goodies, of course)? So the last sender would be sending the largest envelope? You may have all said this already, my brain just needs to scramble it differently :D

Also, FYI, I never got an email blast yesterday or today from S-B noting that my partners were assigned for this swap; I just got on today cuz I knew it was swappin' time.

Hey Gina, see the description on the forum thread, where hopefully it will become clearer! I have no idea what to do about notices, maybe someone else does..?!? Do ask any further questions you may have as this is an idea that hasn't been tested before and there may still be glitches...
