Description:
Did you know that April was National Letter Writing Month (NLWM)? Let's have some fun! I plan to host several swaps in honor of NLWM. In this second swap, you will write and send your partner a fun mini letter in a mini handmade envelope. You will also include a mini surprise. By mini, your letter will be roughly the size of an artist trading card (ATC): 2.5" x 3.5" (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm). If you need a mini ATC envelope template, This website has a good one: http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/atcenvelope.htm You are to decorate your mini letter and mini envelope in some way. (A few ideas: colorful doodling, washi tape, rubber stamping...anything to make it fun.) Please write on the front and back of your mini letter and put it into the mini envelope, along with the mini surprise. Please then put the mini envelope into a larger envelope for mailing. It will need to meet the minimum size required by the postal service, which in the USA is 5" long x 3 1/2" high. Please decorate this mailing envelope in some way as well. Are you up for this fun challenge?

I'm trying to think what would fit in this mini envelope so watching.

mini surprise ideas: mini handmade folded notecard, address labels (blank or custom), smaller mini envelopes, ephemera, stamped images, cancelled postage stamps, unused postage stamps, a mini assortment of pretty paper scraps, paper flowers, buttons...

I have mini envies with either nice designs or doodles... do we strictly follow the ATC envie? Thanks :)

By mini, I only gave the size of an ATC as a guideline. You can make it a little smaller, a little larger, or a different shape (square, etc.) as long as it stays "mini."

I'd say let's not go above 3" x 4" (7.6 cm x 10.2 cm).
