Description:

This is an international flat mail swap intended to be kept within the weight limit of a single international envelope stamp.

This is HALF blind envelope swap and HALF profile based.

BEFORE THE SWAP BEGINS: You will take your postage envelope and select a senders choice theme, decorating the REVERSE SIDE of the envelope in this theme (and including your return address, swap name, and username in your design) but LEAVE THE FRONT BLANK for now.

Then, EITHER take a smaller envelope that fits inside your postage envelope OR create a pouch/flipbook/pocket tag in your chosen Senders Choice theme. You will fill this with the following items matching your chosen theme:

  • 1 bought item such as blank postcard/greeting card or notecard with envelope
  • 3-5 nice stickers or washi samples
  • 2 or more homemade deco or scrapbook items such as stamped images, drawings, ephemera mini collage
  • 1 short note or favourite quote or recipe (hand written)

WHEN PARTNERS ARE ASSIGNED: You will thoroughly read your partner's profile, and decorate the front (address and stamp side) of the postage envelope according to their LIKES OR FAVOURITE THINGS. Then you will write a personal note or letter, and include a minimum of 3 flat gifts based on their profile NOT inside the blind envelope/pouch/pocket, just loose in the mailing envelope or in a seperate small pouch.

The final mail will be a double sided mail art envelope, with a 'BLIND SIDE' and a 'profile based side', filled with goodies mostly of sender's choice with a few profile based extras.

Unfortunately not open to newbies as it is a multi-stage process to make mail like this, and I really want to avoid flaking. That said, I will angel after 1s are rated if you have contacted your partner and not had a reply/had a negative reply after a minimum of 5 days since messaging them.

Happy swapping my friends!!!

To be accepted for this swap you cannot have unexplained 1s or recent 3s. You need a profile that has likes or favourites listed. For extra fun, comment with the sender's choice theme you pick!

My sender's choice theme will be 'what I saw in the woods'

This should be a type 3 as crafting is involved.

Done @thebragal โ˜บ๏ธ thanks for pointing that out.

TO the lurkers and watchers, please bear in mind that there is a blind component to this mail so you should not wait until the deadline to sign up! I know that there's a fairly long time before the send by date, but that's because I am passionate about accessibility to my fellow disabled or rural swappers who might not be able to get to the post office very often for whatever reason.

Can't wait to swap with you! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“ฎ
