Description:

We all need envies, right? What makes it unique? Flowers. Use anything that represents the beauty of flowers. That can be color, pattern, stamp it, draw on it, pretty stickers, etc. Make it nice.

Envelopes must be average mailing size or larger. Make them out of: printed scrapbook paper, calendars, heavy paper bags, magazines(double strength) or any other sturdy paper! No white envelopes!

Do you have any handmade envies you've received and want to pass on? That's OK too.

One partner, send them 4 handmade envelopes in one week. Make them pretty. Don't forget note with name and swap.

I haven't ever done an envie swap and I would like to but I want to make sure I understand the expectations. Does "no white envelopes" mean you couldn't use a white envelope to start with? For example, could I start with a white envelope and then rubber stamp colorful flower images and perhaps an inspirational quote. Can I use a gorgeous floral pattern scrapbook paper to create an envelope and then not add anything else to it. Thank you for taking the time to answer so I feel comfortable in joining these fun sounding envie swaps. :)

You are right. Don't start with a white envelope that is "already made." This is about making your own. Now, you could use white scrapbook paper as long as you are "making" an envelope from it.

Yes, you can use flowered scrapbook paper with nothing more added.

Sorry I didn't see it sooner. Always good to message directly to swap coordinator to make sure they see it.
