Description:
Hi All! Based on the success of my last Handmade Envie swap, I've decided to do another around same rules as before. Newbie friendly with very well filled out profile. For this swap, you will have 1 partner, where you will send 3 handmade envelopes to. I really like the design and look of handmade envies and I make them very often. I am not that great at it, but they are fun to make. The envies themselves can be any size and made out of anything from regular paper to magazine pages. But, make them fun in the colors and design and don't make a regular white envelope (we all have those anyway). Presumably, your partner will be using them to send things in, so they must be made well enough to travel. This is not a profile specific swap, you can start working on your envies as soon as you sign-up! Do not rate down if you don't like the design of the envie or the technique used to make them. The swap requirements are that they must be well made to travel and you were sent 3. No recent 1's or unexplained/unresolved/recent 3's. If you have any questions, please message me. I do not check comments often.

Sorry, have to drop. Didn't realize this was international.

I never have luck with magazine pages. The paper is so thin, they always rip & I feel like I have to coat it all in clear tape before sending off. :( Also, I've received magazine paper envelopes in the mail that couldn't hold up with the mail and items got lost. :( :(

to use magazine pages, you have to line them. I just usually use two magazine pages. I always put clear tape on mine to make sure they stay sealed during post office trip. I just received a normal envelope (not hand made) and it was in a post office envelope because the post office shredded the while envelope. Doesn't matter sometimes what you send in, the post office isn't careful with anything.

The magazine pages is just a suggestion. I havw used magazine pages and have had success. Use whatever you would like as long as it holds up. :)

Apologizes for assigning the swap late(I never do that), I got mixed up with my dates. Nonetheless, I did extend it out to 8/21 as the deadline.

Thank you all for your understanding and still staying in the swap!
