Create Fun Envelopes - Beginners

This is an International swap, if you are unable or unwilling to send overseas then please do not join!

I have just encountered handmade envelopes and I'm loving them, so I have created this swap to encourage others to spread the love of them. This swap is aimed at beginners like myself, however experienced envelope makers are more than welcome to join, just remember you may receive someone's first ever handmade envelope in return.

For this swap you will have 1 partner, you will make them 3 handmade envelopes, however you will use one of those envelopes to mail the other two envelopes to them. So in other words two envelopes will remain blank for your partner to use in the future, and the third you will use to mail to your partner. Don't forget to include space for your partner to add addresses when they use them.

Envelopes can be made by various methods, by using card, paper, magazine pages, collage, hand drawn, paint, rubber stamping etc. please just make sure your envelope is sturdy enough to travel through the mail system (that includes the 2 your partner will use in future).

Please put effort into your envelopes, think colours & layers, stickers are not acceptable decoration. Minimum size of finished envelope should be 5.5x4.5 inches.

Search the web for ideas if you need inspiration. I will add a photo of the simplest way I have found to make the envelope shape, however I'm sure you can find tutorials online if needed.

Summary - Make your partner 3 handmade envelopes, 2 of which must remain blank for your partner to use in future. Min size 5.5" x 4.5". No boring envelopes.
