TPD: Christmas Envies 2 Part Swap

The color envie series will be on hiatus until 2014, but until then there will a Christmas holiday themed envelope swap to fill the void. The Christmas Envie swap is just like the color swaps except instead of making envelopes in a particular color you will be making envelopes out of any paper with a Christmas holiday theme :-)

Swap Requirements:

1st PART

• Create 5 envelopes large enough to send through the postal service (according to the USPS the smallest acceptable "letter" size envelope that can be mailed is 5" X 3.5"

• The 5 envelopes must be embellishment free

• The paper to make the envelopes from may have any pattern, design, or texture as long as the paper has a Christmas holiday theme

• There should be NO paper repeats -i.e. (5 envelopes made of out 5 different Christmas holiday papers)

• The person sending the 5 handmade envelopes must make sure their mailing address is available for the partner, who is receiving the 5 envelopes, to find so that they can then complete the 2nd part of the swap.

2nd PART

Once you have received the 5 envelopes, you will pick one to decorate and then send your mail art envie back to your "receive from" partner

• You may use any medium and style i.e. (painting, drawing, stamping, collage, mixed media, etc.) to create your mail art as long as the majority of the decorations follow a Christmas holiday theme

• Please include a Christmas card inside your mail art envie (The card may be handmade or store bought)

Since the creator of the mail art envie can't be rated, the "receive from" partner=(the person who sent the 5 handmade envelopes) MUST leave a message in comments section of their "send to" partner's =(creator of the mail art envie) profile page to let that person know their mail art envie has arrived.

• The "send by" deadline for the mail art envie will be 2 weeks from the arrival day of the 5 handmade envelopes, and since each person's mailing deadline for the mail art envie will be different I will be relying on the honor system for this part of the swap.

If there are any questions or queries please leave them in the Discussion section below and I will answer them ASAP :-)

Happy Holidays!!!
