COMPLETED: Happy Mail Swap: S/U: 7/29-8/7 - S/O 9/8

I’d like to see the butterflies. And yes, I like making the scrappy embellishments too.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos before this swap to get ideas…not sure what I’ll make this round.

I’m waiting to see the sorts of things my partner likes and my inspiration will come from there :slight_smile:

This swap is tempting… but I don’t know how I’d decorate an envelope :stuck_out_tongue: for some reason that’s keeping me from jumping in just yet :upside_down_face:

If you take a look at “Mail Art” on Pinterest you could get lost for hours :stuck_out_tongue:

Masterboard that sucker!

I’m still not sure if I’ll be signing up, but needed to say that. :grin:

Would that work? Like… go through the postal machines and things? :thinking:

You could do a blank address stamp label for the address and stamp.

I’ve been debating on whether to do this swap as it is new to me. After looking at the other galleries I have some ideas on what to make so I had to break down and sign up. Now I’m all excited to find out who my partner is and what they like!

My arm has been twisted :sweat_smile: I hope my partner likes masterboards! I’ll probably turn them into other things like tags or embellishments…

Yeah, just stick with painting, stamping, drawing, and stickers/tapes in the outside so there aren’t pieces falling off or catching on the postal machinery. Put a sealant over media that might bleed, or cover the entire envelope with packing tape (doing that makes it safe to add whatever papery pieces you want, too)

Oh I meant just in general. I’m definitely waiting to see what my partners likes are before crafting for the swap. It would suck if I make a ton of pink butterflies to find out they hate pink and butterflies lol.

Here they are. I made a post about them.

oh dragonflies and feathers would be so cool

Going to have to sit this one out. I’ve been waffling, but I’m just not ready to venture into the PO yet for a DC (and can’t print at home). I will be eagerly awaiting the gallery, though :hugs:.

Partners are listed on the 2nd post of this thread and I have emailed out all the questionnaires. Let me know ASAP if there is any issue!

Also, when filling out my own questionnaire I realized I must have been in a hurry. I had favorite color listed twice and no where did I have people list what type of goodies they might like. So your homework assignment is to email your partners to see what types of happy mail items they may want!
