Description:

Is it time to destash a little-or a lot? Then you have come to the right swap!

For this swap, you will fill 1 LARGE flat rate USPS envelope (or the equivalent) chock full of things from your stash. Seriously, stuff that envelope to the brim of things you no longer want or need from your stash. This can include, but is not limited to: patterned paper, stamps, ink pads, stickers, washi, ribbon, charms, markers/pens, paint, notebooks, etc...

Items can be used, but please don't send something you wouldn't want to receive. There is no limit to the number of similar items you can send (so if you have a ton of one kind of goodie to pass on, go for it) but please include at least 5 different types of items so that there is some variety.

As this involves sending quite a bit of stuff, I will not be able to angel. Please only sign up if you intend to follow through.

As always, I try to host drama free swaps, so please be kind.

Happy swapping!

What size is the "large" flat rate envelope? I found "flat rate envelope," "legal size flat rate envelope," and "padded flat rate envelope."

Good question, Malia! 👍

I use 6'' x 9'', flat, manila, clasp, #55 ✉.

I use the "First-Class Mail Letter (Domestic) option.

Weight: 0 Lb 1.60 Oz

I live in Indiana and the ✉ described above cost me $0.70 each.

The postmistress slid my ✉ through a rectangle, cardboard opening that measures the width (thickness) of my ✉ to verify.

Hope this helps! Lora 📬

My intention was the USPS standard large priority mail flat rate envelope, which is about 8.5"x11"

Thank you. The priority flat rate envelope is 9.5 x 12.5 and cost $7.35 to mail within the USA. It can be stuffed full with things that are not flat, as long as the envelope closes. Wildspoon28, is this the envelope you mean? Since the swap is "package or craft," would that mean that mailing an "equivalent" envelope of that size,filling it with only flat paper things that don't weigh much, and then mailing at the first class rate for a flat envelope that weighs less than 13 ounces would not be a fulfillment of this swap ?

Thanks Pianoheart for posting the cost of the priority mail envelope. By equivalent, I meant it doesn't have to be a priority mail envelope, just that size. And if you can include enough variety by just sending flat items, then that is fine.
