Description:

I noticed that my envelope stash is getting almost non-existent. I've had to resort to store bought envelopes and they are so borrrriiinnngggggg. :)

I was getting ready to make a new batch of handmade envelopes when I decided that instead of just making some new ones for myself that it would be fun to do a swap and make some for others.

So here we are!!

Depending on the number of people that join the swap, you will have either one partner or two. ( Under 10 people join --> 1 partner, Over 10 people join ----> 2 partners).

You will create 10 envelopes for however many partners you have . hahahahaha

These envelopes can be made from any type of paper you choose. But please make them sturdy enough to make it through the postal system. You could even do a fabric envelope as long as it is backed by something sturdy. (And you don't mind the extra cost of shipping the thicker package to your partner(s).)

The 10 envelopes must be in letter size range meaning: At least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long. No more than 6-1/8 inches high x 11-1/2 inches long. That is a pretty good range so we shouldn't have trouble making ones that fit in that range. If you want to make some extra ones for your partner that fit outside that size range, feel free -- it should earn you a ♥.

You need to provide some sort of "address writing zone" for your envelopes. Either leaving a white area if making artistic envelopes or by including blank address labels so that your partner can easily use the envelopes that you create for them.

So quick recap:

♥ 10 envelopes per partner

♥ Address labels or Clear space on envie for address writing

♥ Min. size : 3-1/2 x 5 ---- Max. size: 6-1/8 x 11-1/2

♥ Extras envelopes outsize that range welcome.

♥ Any type paper or fabric with paper backing as long as it will hold up in the postal system.

♥ ** No 1 rating whatsoever forever.

♥ Have one 3 rating because of a &^%$# swapper that isn't even here anymore?? Contact me before joining.

That's all I think.... :)

I'm really excited about this swap and want to be sure I'm creating what is required. Do I just make 10 simple envelopes? Pretty paper and a label for the address or do I make 10 full-blown mail art envelopes?

GabySkye 05/21/2019 #

@penpaperpostage from what I understand, they don’t have to be full blown out art, but quality. I’ve personally been painting them, using decorative paper and stickers to decorate. They’re not those crazy Instagram worthy envis, but they certainly do shine!

Would an A2 size envelope work? The ones where you can fold a 8.5x11 paper in fourths to fit inside.

@PrettyAlice as long as it’s bugger than the 3 1/2 x 5 it would be fine . I don’t have my envelope board handy to remind myself what A2 is. Thanks!!!

Hey there! I want to ask that whoever are my partners, please do not post my tracking number here. I do not want my address floating around for more people than necessary.

Message me the number and I will tell the host I received it. I will be doing the same for my partners.

Thank you!
