Description:

This is my first swap. I am limiting it to USA only at this time, but will consider doing an international version depending on the response.

Newbies are welcome as long as you have a very well filled out profile. Established swappers need a 4.75 rating or above and NO 1 ratings. I want to try to avoid any flakers! Nobody likes to be flaked on. If by chance someone does not receive, I will angel. Hopefully we will all be good swap partners and send. :-)

Guidelines: In this swap, you will make your partner 10 nice envelopes (size 3 1/2"x5" or larger). You can make these out of whatever nice, decorative paper you choose (no crumpled, folded, torn or dirty paper). These envelopes should be made with some type of glue/tape adhesive. The adhesive should NOT be visible after the envy is put together. Please use a variety of sizes and paper designs when making these. These envelopes should be able to be mailed, so please do not use fragile papers to make them. Please check your partners profile for their fave colors/designs.

For patterns: I make my own patterns/templates by taking apart envies and tracing it onto a piece of thick cardboard. You can also print envelope patterns off the internet.

Since I am new to hosting, I welcome any suggestions to help make this (and any future swaps I host) better.

Any questions, please ask!!

Great idea! I won't be able to join this one, but if you do another one in the summer I can.

@CookieLPN I usually use my glue stick.

I use double sided tape :)

I also use double sided tape, or a tape runner adhesive, both work great.
