True admiration! Nice creative skills you all have. :smiley:
When I think I am soooo hesitant when doing handmade mail, not finding the ideas…thinking way tooooooo much… Take hours or days, and when you see the result… All this time for this. :woman_facepalming:
With practice…

I just started with making envelopes for my penpals. That are the first I made and sent.

Now I do different themes. Everytime I think something is important, I´m making a card of it.

Now I´m trying to find more of a “theme”

That I´m missing travelling (Luxembourg is one of my favourite countries) with my caravan. Or the one about the 27 December (starting of vaccination in the EU).

I use only the backside of an envelope, because when I send the card with the “hamburgers” I got a little bit of a discussion on the post office. (I only send it away before Christmas, hope I don´t get it returned to me).

Awesome! I would love to learn from you! :slight_smile:

Your envelope is perfectly fine according to Deutsche Post guidelines. I don’t know why they started a discussion. If you want a source for this information just drop me a PM.
