Thank you so much for your nice comments in my previous topic about handmade envelopes (theme: nature).
This is a sequel.
Once, for my birthday, I received a large coloring book.
But it’s so much work… The pages are very big and I don’t see the point of coloring it all the way through.
That gave me the idea to make envelopes of these as well.
Would you guys like to take a look?
Looking forward to hearing your reactions!
This is how it starts: tearing out 1 page and choosing which side is appropriate:
It is possible though, to receive such an envelope.
These days I send almost all cards in an envelope.
I started doing that after I noticed that so many cards are damaged in our postal machines.
That is such a shame.
Only when someone explicitly states “no envelope” I send a bare card (that’s what I call it).
Because I really find a card in such a nice envelope much more ‘dressed up’.
By the way, I do write the full address on the card as well, and I put real (used) stamps on it. When someone doesn’t want the envelope, the card still looks official.
Great job!
It seems I forgot to tell you that I was surprised and pleased by your selfmade envelope in which you sent me the telegraph card. I keep it together with the other decorated envelopes in my special box.
Thank you
And what beautiful envelopes, the world is going to be a happier place.
That’s for sure.
Just watch: we’re going to see more and more postal workers riding bikes with smiles on their faces!
Up until now, I’ve never sent a postcard in an envelope when I’ve drawn an official card. But now with these, I have a nice little stash of envelopes ready and waiting. And the first envelope won’t have to wait long because I’ve just drawn an address where they ask for the postcard to be sent in an envelope.
