Description:

I remember there used to be some cool transparent envie swaps here but I haven't seen any in a while. The point is to make the stuff inside look so cool that the inside of the envie is mail art in itself! You may slightly decorate the outside of the envie (perhaps a strip of washi tape, one rubber stamped image or a couple of stickers ) but not so much that it obscures what can be seen from the inside.

To clarify, nicely handmade transparent envies are allowed, as are semi transparent ones (mine are thin and sort of cloudy, like they're made out of tracing paper).

So for this swap you must send different 7 flat items to a certain theme, arranged in such a way that it looks cool through the envelope. However to make this a little more challenging your partner will list 3-6 themes in the comments section and your items must fit these themes. (Please make sure that at least 3 of these themes are fairly generic/easy for your partner to find. Things like certain colours, patterns, animals etc.. your final ones may be slightly more obscure if you like but be aware that if they're too obscure your partner probably won't choose them!)

As a general rule one item is;

  • 1 postcard

  • 1 ATC

  • 2 Washi tape samples

  • 5 stickers (not tiny ones)

  • 1 postcard size piece of fabric

  • 2 lettersets (2 papers and one envie each)

  • 4 envies

  • 1 notecard

Rating requirements are 4.9, I will consider newbies but they must have a filled out profile.

How did i forget to write a comment. I hope I can join the next transparent envie swap- hope you host another one, Nevermore.

Nevermore 10/24/2015 #

hey, if anyone knows who @funswapper2 should be sending to (which I feel is unlikely) then could they let me know who that is.

bklynfinest77 10/24/2015 #

Maybe have everyone tell you who they are sending to so you can narrow it down

Nevermore 10/24/2015 #

I'm thinking of just asking people who they're meant to be getting a swap from.

Nevermore 10/25/2015 #

Nevermind! I know now!

loveualatte 10/26/2015 #

And it's sent :-)
