Description:

This is not a trash or scrap of papers, or a desk declutter swap. This is also not a swap where you need to buy, or send new items.

This a Stuffed 6x9 padded envelope of useable items, that would work well in an art journal.

You can add to this envelope: stamped images, stamped words, punches, die cuts, ribbons, fibers, buttons, clips, clothes pins, paperclips, buttons, brads, rubber stamps (new or used), Used or new postcards, cancelled postage stamps, various flowers, gems, bling, odds and ends, game pieces, metal items, decorative paper napkins, decorative wrapping paper, Minimum decorative paper size is 2.5x 3.5 nothing smaller. Other embellishments, with or without sticky backings.

Ephemera is not nec what you think. True ephemera is not store bought, It is papers that were not meant to be saved.

EPHEMERA something of no lasting significance

paper items (as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles

items might fall into this ephemera category are things like ticket stubs, bus passes, notes, fronts of greeting cards with fun images, newspaper articles, book pages, dictionary pages, phone book pages, coffee sleeves, receipts, magazine articles.

Please no foam shapes, no popsicle sticks, no beads unless your partner LIKES beads. Limit of 10 flat stickers. Embellishments that are sticky on the back are not stickers. You should be able to tell the difference. Embellishments are allowed.

You can stuff your envelope as soon as you want, but once partners are assigned, you will need to check your partners dislikes. Just pull out stuff that they dont like. You would not want to send clowns, spiders, etc to someone who is deathly terrified of said images. THEN, add a few more things, and mail it off.

You need to add delivery confirmation and post your DC aka Tracking in the comments area when you mail.

If you get a few items you dont like you can pass them on next time.

I should add down here. Even thought I explained and defined what true ephemera really is. That doesnt mean you cant add vintage stuff to this envelope. You know the store bought stuff. I just wanted to be clear that you might get real ephemera, not just store bought vintage reproductions.
