ThePaperLetterBlog

Hellooo there! My profile is quite long, but please don't be intimidated by that. I'm an easy-going person and as long as you send me something you'd love to receive, I'm happy! (Meaning: no damaged/sticky items... You get the idea :P) You can use my profile for a guideline, but don't let it hold you back. Here's some info/links first, and then the rest of my profile!

[Added in 2025]: Because I also receive YouTube subscriber mail in my P.O. box, please write the name of the swap on the envelope! I open my mail in a video every few weeks, and this way I can tell them apart. If you'd rather not have it shown on YT, please write "offline" on the outside!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I added a Pinterest moodboard to my links! ☀️

Please message me if anything went wrong with my parcel or letter! I have never had any problems, and I always send on time :)

--- DUTCHIES: Je mag me ook een berichtje sturen voor mijn thuisadres, die post krijg ik veel sneller dan in mijn postbus! :)

Hey all! My name is Vivian, I am 30 years old and live in the Netherlands. In my daily life I work as a waitress, but snail mail + YouTube @thepaperletterblog is my biggest hobby. Paper makes me happy, so I enjoy crafting and writing letters more than anything! My list of likes is super long, and I am totally okay with re-gifting also. And recycling. If I can add one tiny request, it's please mind your use of plastic in my mail! Thank you! 😊

When you rate my swap, please include a little note! I love hearing what you think of it, and whether you liked it or not.

*** ITEMS *** I love SO many things in mail, so feel free to go crazy! I love labels, tickets, stamps, PET tapes, girl stickers, sealing wax, stickers, washi tape, pretty paper, bookmarks, die cuts... Anything that I can use for snail mail, too. Vellum or that milky see through paper (with/without prints) or those style envelopes!

I'm always looking for Pink Paislee/Maggie Holmes items, as well as other big American brands. It's not easy to get things like washi tapes of those brands here, so I'd be foreeeever grateful :D I've also been obsessed with PET tapes recently: with girl illustrations, flowers, botanical drawings or even those background ones with labels etc. They're so fun to cut out!

Die cuts that say "hello" are really cool... As well as labels, again. I love labels. Vintage or new, I collect them all!

*** STYLES *** I usually craft with watercolor/floral items, but vintage botanical is a close second! Green is my favourite color, but I love all pastels.

*** TEA/COFFEE *** I love receiving either! I love any type of tea except fruit teas. Also, I have plenty of "normal" green/black/white tea, but I'd like to get some of your favourites!

I also like loose leaf, as long as it's wrapped in a clean envelope and has the ingredients listed :D

Something I don't really like: prints with the 'kawaii' style drawings (anything with random faces) or cartoons. Darker colours are not really my thing, but feel free to use them for your projects.

I love tea, but don't like fruit teas. Also, I personally don't like the plastic washi tape.

Please don't send me blank city/tourist postcards as a gift: I have no use for them. (However, it's totally okay if you use them to write your swap messsage on - I'd love to see where you live!)
