Description:

For this swap, we're going to fill a regular sized or larger envelope with flat(ish) themed items - and decorate the envelope, front and back, in a Samhain/All Hallow's Eve (Hallowe'en) theme!

Send your partner 1 regular, letter or card sized (not letterset - standard letter size!) envelope that has been decorated by you, that contains at least 5 All Hallows/Samhain/Hallowe'en themed flat(ish) items. Include a note or swap card with the swap and your username as well please!

When decorating your envelope, please consider this a piece of true mail art and design accordingly. Do NOT slap a few stickers, or stamp an image, or lay a strip of washi tape along the edge and call it done. This should be it's own piece of art!

Themes to Consider for Your Mail Art

  • Witches
  • Spindly Trees and Dark Woods
  • Bats, Spiders/Spider Webs
  • Skeletons
  • Burial Mounds/Cairns/Graves/Cemeteries
  • Standing Stones (e.g., Stonehenge)
  • Besom/Broomsticks
  • Cauldrons
  • Jack o' Lanterns

Basically, the ideas are almost limitless as long as the envelope is clearly Halloween/Samhain themed.

Items - Ideas of Things to Send

  • Stickers (minimum 5 thumbnail sized stickers count as one item. Large or very large stickers may also count as one, but they should be exceptional in quality and size to do so)

  • Halloween themed brads or other embellishments

  • Charms

  • Usable themed papers (must be at least ATC sized, and if using papers, 5 sheets counts as ONE item)

  • Notecards

  • Stationery

  • Postcards

  • A Halloween/Samhain ATC, ATCoin, or tag made by you

Again...ideas are limitless.

In a Nutshell

  • 1 artistically decorated, Halloween/All Hallow's/Samhain themed envelope with a minimum of 5 Halloween themed items enclosed, to 1 partner.

  • Envelope art should be an example of your best work. Don't just throw some stickers or washi on an envie and call it done!

  • Items must be new or in new condition. Do not send wrinkled, crumpled, dirty, torn, smelly, or pet hair covered items.

  • Ensure that your envelope will stand up to postal machines!

  • Create and send something you'd love to receive.

The Administrivia

  • Send on time. Rate promptly upon receipt. Sending late without communication warrants a 3 rating and removal from the group. Not rating or having to be chased for a rating also warrants removal from the group. Communicate and rate.

  • Rate according to the Swap-Bot Rating Criteria. Failure to rate your partner or to rate correctly will result in your removal from this group.

  • If you are going to be late sending, make sure you let your partner and me know prior to the send-by date.

  • Hearts are purely at the discretion of the rater.

  • If you flake, you will be removed immediately from this group.

  • If you are flaked on, let me know. I will angel this swap after you rate a 1.
