Handmade Envelopes

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.

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

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

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

does it matter what size the envelope is

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

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

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 :-))

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??)

We'll get our matches tomorrow...

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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! :)

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

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/
