Description:

I love getting envelopes that are hand-made or decorated in some manor in the mail - naked envelopes can get boring sometimes. A naked envelope is one that is plain white or another plain color, with the just an address/ or label on it.

There are a number of no-cost or inexpensive things that can be done to an envelope.

Examples: Making them by hand with decorative paper (I use wall-paper leftovers-and my own template). Drawing/Doodling on the plain envelope, or wrapping it in decorative tapes, I also use wall-paper borders - found some great girlie ones ! Adding color (someone sent me a water-colored envelope - beautiful colors), collaging, or stamping, the list is endless.

You will have 1 partner and make them:

  • Six (6) different envelopes. The internet is a great resource for ideas also ! Hand-made or store bought envelopes.

  • Measurements: Atleast 6.0" x 4.0" or larger.

Be creative, and neat. We want to be able to use the envelopes in the mail so make sure they will be sturdy enough to handle the mail. (Newspaper is not a good paper to use).

To join you may not have have any current 1's or 3's within the last 6 months. I check everyones profile before assigning partners.

Any questions/concerns you may PM me or post your questions below, I check my swap threads daily.
