It is so fun turning a calendar into envelopes, so i thought it should be a swap. All you need is 1 calendar new,old,used, but in good condition.

Cool concept! Calendar pages are usually made of study stuff, great for envelopes and a gold star for recycling!

MissU 09/28/2009 #

This is a neat idea! Watching for now. Question- are we using the part of the calendar with the month or with the picture? I am thinking picture..

Lavender72004 09/28/2009 #

Faerlyfaerie, You are correct it is going to be the picture side. And also im glad everyone likes this idea it came to me last night as i was falling asleep, And i could hardly wait to get out of bed this morning and create this swap.

Do they all have to be from the same calendar or mix and match?

Serenity 10/ 1/2009 #

I make all my envelopes from Calenders. I would like to join this swap, but I don't have twelve from one calender. I have tons of them, but I get Calenders given to me from friends and sometimes they are missing months.

So I was wanting to know the same as Aubreysmom can they be mix and match. So long as they are good and useable?

What gum do you use for the envies?

ArtyBeth3 10/ 2/2009 #

When making envelopes, I prefer to use double sided tape, rather than glue. It's less messy and sticks really well.

Just my 2 cents.

Jinty 10/ 2/2009 #

Sorry i should have said the gum for sealing the envie where it would normally be sealed

ArtyBeth3 10/ 2/2009 #

I just heard from Lavender and she said would could make them from different calendars, as long as we made 12. I'm signing up!

ArtyBeth3 10/ 2/2009 #

Jinty, I use either regular tape or clear packing tape to seal them.

Lavender72004 10/ 2/2009 #

So sorry ladies i hadnt noticed any new comments. As artybeth3 stated they dont have to all be from the same calendar just have to be 12 envies made out of calendars. I too use regular tape to seal them im not into all that fancy stuff. :)

Jinty 10/ 3/2009 #

What i am trying to figure out is after you have got them asembled,.....if you were sending them and wanted to seal them,what do you use.I am just making sure i get it right .LOL.Or do you just tuck the flap inside the card..

Lavender72004 10/ 3/2009 #

As stated above i tape the shut with clear scotch tape. When i am assembling them i use a glue stick.

ArtyBeth3 10/ 4/2009 #

Well, yesterday I went to one of my favorite places to poke around in (SCRAP, in Portland, OR) because I know they have old calendars for 25 cents! I found 3 that I liked, and thus I was a crazy women between last night and today. I now have piles of envelopes ready for this swap. I hope my partner likes the ones I've made :)

Lavender72004 10/ 4/2009 #

Lol ArtyBeth3 sounds like what i did last night i made lots of tiny envelopes out of an old book till 11 last night.

Caerah 10/ 5/2009 #

I love this swap! I've just started making envelopes, and I can't seem to be able to quit.

BelleSouth 10/ 5/2009 #

Whoo Hoo! I just tried it and it turned out great! Mine are going to be so colorful that you will need a plain white address label for the front 'cause a pen won't show up! I'm in!

Lavender72004 10/ 5/2009 #

Glad to see all the new participants this will be a great swap i will assgin partners as soon as i can :) Have fun!

The swap deadline has been moved to, October 13th. If your swap is not postmarked by Oct. 13th then it obviously does not meet swap requirements.
