The first topic of this month's project is "Envelopes". :)
Of course, you can always send out envelopes or parcels without special embellishment, but a special envelope makes the process of receiving a letter so much more fun. It increases the anticipation of opening it. :)
As I've received quite a lot of snail mail in beautiful envelopes or parcels last year, I chose examples from those for this post. :) I thought it would be nice to show different design ideas of different persons with different styles. :D
One obvious way to make an envelope prettier is to paint on it.
And combined with a little washi tape...beautiful! :)
Using stamps, especially self-carved ones, is also a great way to embellish a letter. Either one big one...
...one completed with little drawings...
...or covering the complete envelope with stamps.
Using classic postage stamps is also a beautiful and easy way to make the parcel a little more special.
I especially adore small details on envelopes. :) Pretty little drawings...
...or sewn details.
I hope this post gave you some ideas for the next time you're working on a snail mail. ♥
I would love to hear about other design ideas from you! :)

Ich mag auch so genre schöne Briefumschläge, da freut man sich noch viel mehr über die Post :)
ReplyDeleteEine Idee von mir hast du ja ganz oben schon gepostet. Auch eine tolle Idee: einen Umschlag aus Zeitungs-/Zeitschriftenpapier selber basteln, also wie eine kleine Collage. Ist dann sogar upcycling... :o)
Stimmt, das ist auch eine tolle Idee! :) Der Umschlag auf dem letzten Bild ist geupcyclet, aber das sieht man ihm gar nicht an.
DeleteIch hoffe, ich komme diesen Monat dazu, dir endlich auch eine kleine Briefkasten-Freude zu schicken. :)
LG!
Keine Eile! Ist ja alles immer kein Muss :)
DeleteLG Doro
I agree! Receiving a handwritten letter is already a big pleasure but if you find it in a decorated envelope the pleasure is even bigger! Pieces of art, i keep every single one of them in a big box :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great ideas! And I'm glad to see my envelope among them :)
