Description:

Easy as can be...

Step 1: Grab a security envelope, and carefully loosen the gummed sides.

Step 2: Glue the envelope back together with the security design on the outside.

Step 3: Decorate the envelope with rubber stamped images, collage, or paint, or set it on fire (just kidding). Basically, whatever takes your fancy. (You can also be a rebel and decorate the envelope before you glue it back together...)

Step 4: Include ephemera for your partner. (I would say at least 10 pieces.)

Not sure what ephemera is? Merriam-Webster says:

Full Definition of EPHEMERA 1: something of no lasting significance Ò€”usually used in plural 2: ephemera plural : paper items (as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles

Step 5: Slap some pretty postage on it and youÒ€ℒre done!

What do you mean by a security envelope?

latentsmile 01/27/2014 #

Copied from the first swap: A security envelope has a pattern printed on the inside, which makes it difficult to see the contents. They are used for bills, bank statements, etc.

A google images search will show you exactly. :)
