IPC: Outside Inside Surprise Envie

A decorated envelope with a twist!

With the typical decorated envelope swap, you are to fancy up the outside of the envelope. We will be doing the opposite.

You will carefully deconstruct/take apart an envelope of your choosing. If you want to make your own envelope from scratch, go ahead.

You will then decorate each of the inside sections. Jazz it up with inks, rubber stamping, collage, wording, quotes, embellishments, etc. Make it cute/fun/funky. You may want to go lightly on the flap section. Remember ... your partner will need to open this up when they receive it and we want that to be as easy (and painless) as possible.

You will then carefully put your envelope back together. Please write the swap name on the back of the envelope so that your partner will know which swap it is and can take appropriate care when opening.

Tuck in a little flat surprise, add postage, and mail off to your partner.

Some ideas of what to include:

• die cuts/punchies
• ephemera
• small profile surprise
• packaged tea or drink
• mini envelopes
• ATC made by you
• embellishments
