Description:

Do you love beautyful envelopes instead of the boring white ones? If yes this is the right swap for you.

Make an envelope beautyful. You can use any technic you like collage, doodle, zentangel, stamp ...your envelope. You can use glitter, water color, texture paper or what ever you can imagine.

The only requirement is, that you have a little piece of art in the end. Give the envelope your own "signature" and make it special, so it means but some effort in it. Please do not just sticker slapping and call it done. Stickers could be part of your art.

So this swap is for beginners as I am a beginner. You can join if you afraid of this swpas full of expert swappers. Also non beginners can join, if the are willing to give beginners a chance to practise. Then that is, what is it.. . It is a swap to practice. Your envelopes don't have to be perfect just that what you can and what you think it's pretty.

So, for this swap you will make one envelope Standard Size (C6 =114 mm *162 mm). Feel free to go bigger, if you like. Design is senders choise

And put a little extra inside. It don't have to expensive just something what comes from heart. Please have a look on your partners profile for that. The item can be bought or good handmade.

Who can join this swap:

  • Newbies (unrated swappers allowed) with well filled out profile (Well filled out means at least three good filled paragraphs)
  • Mail art beginners and mail art experts who will give beginners a try
  • For rated swappers: If you have any bad rating in the last three months, contact me before joining my swap and explaine. If you have 1 for swaps and your partner is still active, don't join my swap before making up the old swap.

I feel free to ban questionable swappers from my swap.

For all others have fun on beeing creativ.

Best wishes,

ChikuNamika

I am new so I apologize in advance for any stupid questions I ask. I am a bit confused about the international swaps, does that mean people from the USA are not eligible?

ChikuNamika 03/13/2012 #

@Dieselsmom There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers :) So, we all started somewhere and we all have to ask from time to time.

International means, the whole world can join, if the whole world would like to do that. ^^

So feel free to join my swap. I'm happy aboute every member who is interessted in swapping.

So do u send this envelope inside an envelope so ur partner can use it?? Or use this one to send to your partner?? & can u use a white envelope to decorate or do u have to make the envelope yourself?? Lots of questions cuz this one sounds fun for a newbie here!!! :)

ChikuNamika 03/16/2012 #

@lilpuddn good questions :)

  1. You will use the envelope you have designed for sending the little item, so you will use the envelope. Feel free to put an other designed envelope as surprise in it if you like to do that.

  2. You can use a white envelope and decorate it or make it by yourself. It's your choise.

So, I hope I could help you.

And I hope you will join my swap :)
