Description:

Haven't seen a handmade envelope swap in a while. You will make 5 envelopes and send them to your partner!

This one is international, open to those with a 4.5 or better. Newbies, PM me and we'll chat.

If you've not done this before, it is rather simple...find an envelope you like, gently tear it apart and use it as a template. After you cut one out, fold on the fold lines from your pattern and glue the sides to the bottom and you're done!

Welcome, everyone! 25 swappers on day 1...and I hesitated to start the swap and was wondering if anyone else would be interested! This will be fun.

And if any of you want some inspiration, I recommend trying to get your hand on this book, "Creative Correspondence." http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Correspondence-Michael-Jacobs/dp/1581803176

I came across it at my public library and there are lots of ideas for different envie possibilities.

mrsmc 06/26/2007 #

Thanks, Tryph, for the great suggestion! I'll check it out; I'm always looking for inspiration...

cookiebear 07/ 6/2007 #

I too can vouch for "Creative Correspondence". It's great fun!

boxsquat 07/10/2007 #

i do this all of the time BUT i will do it because, well, i like it. :)

sewcrazy 07/12/2007 #

does it matter what size the envelope is

mediatinker 07/13/2007 #

I've made a variety of sizes for this swap.

mrsmc 07/13/2007 #

My intent is to have them a mailable size...however, this is a creative endeavor! Its up to you.

AngelFaeryKathleen 07/19/2007 #

Hi have make a variety of sises as well and will include the patterns for each just in case any are different from the ones my partner makes :-))

mrsmc 07/19/2007 #

Angel Faery, Providing patterns is definitely over and above...and I am sure your partner will be thrilled!

(maybe you will be my partner!! could i be so lucky??)

mrsmc 07/24/2007 #

We'll get our matches tomorrow...

Thanks in advance for sending...expecting 100% participation and zero flakers!

AngelFaeryKathleen 07/25/2007 #

Hi Mrs M.C. your could aways "fix" the draw so I send to you! :-0

starofsong 07/25/2007 #

Angel, as coordinator of many swaps myself, I don't really think there is a way to decide who we send to or who we receive from. The only thing I can think of would be to have a private swap just between the two of you. However, from what you describe, I secretly hope that the computer assigns you to be my send partner.. LOL... :> Seriously though, I will be happy with any handmade envelope partner.

By the way, I keep checking on this swap about every half hour to see if partners have been assigned. I made my envelopes this morning and was hoping to mail them off today.

mrsmc 07/25/2007 #

We are all set and it looks like we have a great group of swappers. If anyone has any problems, please PM me and we'll address them.

Rillaith 07/26/2007 #

Envelopes are fun, aren't they! I made several last night, and routed out several more nice/interesting bits of paper for some more!

Found some great envelope templates around the web in the end too - for wasting as little paper as possible!

AngelFaeryKathleen 07/26/2007 #

Hi all, well I will be sending to Cheryl and they will be winging their way to day. Enjoy :-)))

fearfulpenguin 07/31/2007 #

Hi there, I sent my envelopes but I am in the UK and there are a number of postal strikes at the moment so they may be slightly delayed - please be patient! Thanks! :)

charolette33 08/ 1/2007 #

Paperholic- I sent your envelopes today. They are coming from the US. I hope you like them!

Rillaith 08/ 3/2007 #

I printed most out and havne't got the urls for all, but between Mirkwood Designed (http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns) and Canon Greetings (http://dyn.c-ij.com/english/greetings/browsing.page?lang=en&cat1=envlet&cat2=env) you can get a pretty good selection.

This is kinda fun for folded envelopes - although I didn't attempt any this time! http://www.ghh.com/elf/

Envelopes are an important part of nyt mini crossword mail. They protect your mail and keep it organized. They can be made from a variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, and plastic. They can also be personalized with your name, address, and other information.

What is the main effect of handmade envelopes? Does it last after five nights at freddy's 4

This detail of the post Handmade Envelopes is good and useful for us. When I was searching for the best professional who can deal with chainsaw I got the best services that provide me the results I want.

JoseColeman 08/28/2024 #

Also, I saw many people who are dealing with it are facing issues, and we can resolve their issues by writing the best details so they know what to do. Same as I found the professionals who can deal with the chainsaw professionally and provide us the results.
