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. You will use the envelope to send a little profile based item in it.

Put a little extra inside. It don't have to be 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.

For inspiration: Just write "mail art" in google and look for the pictures. There are so may beautyful examples.

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 swaps.

I feel free to ban questionable swappers from my swap.

For all others have fun on beeing creativ.

Best wishes,

ChikuNamika

Hi. I'm new to this and have a question about mailing the envelope. Do you put the decorated envelope in another envelope to mail or do you just mail the decorated envelope itself? Thanks in advance.

@iheartkawaii you will send the decorated envelope itself :)
