This is my collage for the month of February, 2012. The left side is the back of a 6x9 manila envelope that I taped in to my journal. I will use it to keep receipts and other tidbits from the month.
This will go in my daily writing/smashbook style journal. Thanks for looking!

I would make more mail art envelopes if I wrote more letters. I would write more letters if I didn't write such loooong letters. But the only way I can write succinctly is if an editor gives me a strict word limit. =sigh=

This one's not as elaborate as some of my envelopes, but this person doesn't know about mail art, so I don't want her to think I've lost my mind. =laugh=

I had fun doing this envelope! The front is a lot of grid patterns that I perused while researching the [v, w] zentangle.

I've had this envelope lying on my desk for months, thinking that I might do something with it and every time I talk on the 'phone, I move bits of paper around on the envelope while I am talking and never do much beyond that. However, I have now finished it and am quite pleased with the shabby French vintage look. These are all small scraps of paper and lace with a few buttons sewn on, a couple of eyelets punched and two flowers painted. Oh, and a little embroidery. I have already started on another one!
First attempt at making an envelope to hold misc. small items: stamps, business cards, receipts, etc. Its not perfect yet, but serviceable.
There is no 3" x 5" 'standard' envelope. You could use a larger one, but would have to cut it open on 2 edges.

Why not write a love letter and pop it in my cute envelope. Needle and thread included to sew the envelope shut. Or if you are not that way inclined…I’ll send an alternative – a FREE pin!
The envelope measures 10.5 cm x 10.5cm and the heart is 7cms wide. I will send some blank sticky labels for you to write the recipients name. Or I can write it for you, just let me know the name of the person that you love.
I hope you like it!
Thanks to everyone in this group who made envelopes for me. I love how this has turned out.

I made these five envelopes out of some of my marbled paper that didn't come out quite perfectly, but was still too gorgeous to throw away.
I marbled them all by hand myself, then used a template to cut out the envelopes. The ribbon adds a nice touch and makes these envelopes great for gift card or special letter enclosures.
They are also for sale - check out my profile for a link.

A visit to Malvern Flea Fair can often result in an interesting puzzle find; this Sunday was no exception.
Wandering among the stalls I spotted a box on the ground: it contained a hodge-podge of jigsaws, both card and wood, mostly spilling out into the box and not really of interest.
And then I saw this old, battered Waddingtons box... stuffed inside was an assortment of brown envelopes. Pulling one out, I noticed it had a 1941 postmark and contained a few puzzle pieces. Hmmm... my curiosity was piqued... what could this be? A quick negotiation with the seller and I was the owner of this mystery object.
So yesterday (Monday) I settled down to find out more. Tipping out the contents of the box I found there were eight envelopes, each containing a handful of jigsaw pieces, mostly addressed to one person, and showing signs of having been re-used during World War II when paper was in short supply. They had George VI stamps and 1941/2 postmarks so I was handling (at least) 80 year old puzzle pieces. Each envelope was carefully labelled with a description of the pieces inside.
Carefully opening each envelope, I assembled the pieces and laid them aside. When I'd finished I could see that they made up the puzzle shown on the Waddingtons box, and it was complete.
But why would they have been posted in sections to the people on the envelopes? Was this some sort of wartime puzzle swapping club? And why send small sections instead of the whole puzzle? I shall probably never know...
An origami envelope which looks almost like a classical glued envelope, but can be closed by folding only. If you use it for sending a letter by actual postal service, I would still recommend gluing the loose triangular flap just to be sure the envelope is not accidentally opened. This is a very simple design, so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else invented it before even though I haven’t found an identical one on the web so far.
I recently got into origami envelopes since this is a practical use case for origami. And since both this one and some other simple designs can easily be modified for folding any tessellation into an envelope, I find this a nice way of trying out a tessellation design without having to fold dozens of molecules. In this respect, envelopes are similar to boxes: they make it possible to fold a mildly interesting model using just one or two tessellation molecules.
an envelope on the way to my nephew . He has been enjoying playing card games and board in the holidays. I thought he might like to receive something in the post
