Description:

Let's have a little fun with postage stamps! For this swap, please:

  • Decorate the front of an envie using either your actual postage stamp or a separate cancelled/used stamp as the main feature and inspiration for your design. (Please remember that if you use your actual postage, you must leave the face of the stamp untouched - do not layer over or draw on it!). You can use drawings, die cuts, magazine clippings, stickers, photos...etc
  • Write a brief note to say hi and include the swap name and your swap-bot ID (and/or put it on the envie)
  • Include 1 flat goodie, sender's choice (extras are up to you, but not required!)

You do not need to be an accomplished artist to participate - this is just for fun :) Here are some other examples to provide some inspiration, but you can incorporate the stamp however you wish:
* Postage stamps with photos
* Postage stamps and artwork
* Postage stamps and artwork 2

Please let me know if you have any questions, and happy swapping!!!
