Description:

This idea was posted in the Inspirations thread by @PJ .

This was made by @tangledthreads on Swap-bot - you can see a larger image here.

Here is the description she wrote about her process:

Actually, it is vintage ephemera, etc. collaged onto cardstock. I make one original, take it to Office Max and have color copies made on cardstock, cut out, fold up, stick a note in it and off it goes!

It is like any other other collaging project, you just start with a base and layer pretty paper and images until it makes you happy!


For this swap, you will need either:
- Access to Office Max or a similar place that can print on card stock
OR
- A scanner/photocopier/printer at home


We will create an original Christmas/holiday image on 8.5" x 11" (or A4) paper, and then make 1 printed envelope for each of our 5 partners. (If you think this is too many partners, please comment below and we can discuss.)

The envelopes should be as large as you can get them to print out on 8.5" x 11" (or A4) card stock.

You may make the image any way you like, using any materials and techniques - it does not have to be a vintage ephemera collage, as long as it is your own work.

Please assemble (cut, fold, glue/tape) them before sending.

For this swap, no religious themes please and thx.


I am thinking these envelopes would be great for giving small gifts like gift cards, cash, magnets, ornaments, ATCs, etc.


Please Note:

I know this is a really great group of swappers, and I try to keep up on profile checks, but just in case you do not receive your swap within a reasonable period of time, and have tried but cannot work it out with your partner, please do let me know. I will always angel (or arrange an angel) for you if you do not receive your swap, as long as you have rated your partner a 1. (“;)

If you have posted a question below, would you please also pm me to let me know as I don't check my swaps every day. Thx.

Have fun!
