Beautiful stamps and scotch tape for this envelope. I like the result. On the right is a stamp with Russian postmen, in the hands of a man a sprig of mimosa. You can imagine that he is congratulating a colleague on a spring holiday.

I tried using a stencil and the wrong paint. Used a relief paint to spice it up a bit. So it nog has bumps that you can really feel. Might be funny to write something in braille with this paint…

This one has an amoebe vibe.

Had some time yesterday… to catch up a bit. The one in the down left corner is upside down.

The towel- and the flower-heart-themed decorations are really cute @dianaf.

I mostly draw on my envelopes, but sometimes I combine drawings and stickers

This is a simple and concise design for a stamp exchange friend. Beautiful stamps and a clipping from a magazine. I was thinking about what else to add to this (stickers, decorative tape, drawing), but I didn’t want to overload the composition with heaped-up details, just so that “there would be something else.” I left it simple and clean, and I’m happy with it. I hope the recipient likes it too.

Something sunny this time.

An envelope decorated with a clipping with blue cats for an exchange friend. There are blue cats inside.

@Hemang suggested these were suitable to share in this thread, so here’s the latest 5 envelopes I decorated for the lottery I had some vinyl stickers I wanted to use, and I thought they would be a good addition to my handmade envelopes.
Honestly, I enjoy decorating envelopes, but I’ve been trying my best to not prepare too many of them in advance, instead making them one by one specifically when I need it. So it was a lot of fun to decorate all 5 at once!
