These are beautiful as well!

[IrisHoux]

Thank you.

[filenfleur]

Beautiful

I made mine too.
Same way as you’re doing. Using calendar pages. The possibilities are endless.

I already sent 20-25 of these envelopes. 2 never arrived. 1 to China and 1 to The Netherland.

I also make envelopes out of calendars, art, nature or other beautifull pictures. Or from magazines, music sheets whatever I can find. People really like it and I like it to receive homemade envelopes.
Your envelopes look really great. Thank you for sharing.

[SylviaAugustin]

Really great. I’ve already done that, with calendar pages from Harenberg weekly calendar.
I like something like that

Beautiful choices of pictures. I have tried to do this and mine didn’t turn out as beautiful as yours…do have you instructions or a template? I especially love the dragonfly - I am all about dragonflies. Thank you for sharing these. They make me realize I need to practice so I can create works of mailable art too.

Wow. I love the nature pictures you chose.
Thanks for sharing.

@debim

I especially love the dragonfly

Thanks for the compliments.

Do you like to exchange mail?
Then I will send you this envelope, and in it not a card but another, not yet glued, envelope, so that you can trace it on your own piece of cardboard.

I make these envelopes not only for my own pleasure, because it’s a fun little job, that too.
But also to bring a double smile to the recipient’s face.
And above all: to make the job of mailman much, much more fun!
I can totally picture it: all those surprised faces of all those letter carriers, all over the world. All of them taking a longer look at the envelope before sliding it into the mailbox… :-). And they continue their way happier!

So: the more people start making beautiful envelopes, the happier the world is going to be.

But be careful: you have to use good quality glue to glue them shut, that’s really important.
Since I have a lot of used stamps in stock, I sometimes use them for extra sealing, something like that:

Thanks again for the ‘tutorial’, Anneke. Yesterday I made these:

I had great fun. I’m planning to do some more when I have time.

[meidans]

Looks to me like you did a great job

I love this! I think my favorite is the stag, but I love them all.
