Tomorrow’s outgoing to my penpal May 🥺 i hope my letter reaches you safely and quickly!
To be honest, i wasn’t sure what i was doing here. I was trying to go for a bit of an art museum theme in the letter and tried to reflect that on the envelope but it all took a turn and feels more greek mythology themed than anything else 🫣 i’m very happy with what the inside looks like though. I made her some wax seals for which i used one of the stamp shaped dies i've been gifted from my penpal but i also made a tag for her that can be used as a bookmark. I wanted it to have a bit more of a 3D effect so i lifted the sculpture by using double sided tape!

A vintage (antique? Idk how old it has to be to count) postcard I picked up last summer in Nashua, postmarked 1907. I've kept the misspellings but tried to write out the message as clear as I can see it in the alt text.

Today’s outgoing to my penpal Sarah from New Zealand ✨
It has been a long time since i’ve worked on any letters so i struggled with the theme as well as the decorating part (at least the writing went easy, it always does 🫣). In the end i went for a simple purple flowers theme and i hope Sarah will like it ✨ even though the result is quite simple i’m somewhat happy with it 😌

Monday’s outgoing to my penpal Shannon ✨ i hope my mail reaches you well!
Summer is here and it’s almost constantly hot so i wanted to go for a summery theme. I was originally going to join a challenge with this but i felt like i couldn’t make it work and really liked it this way already 😌 i actually tried summer theme last year as well but i wasn’t satisfied with it at all, i’m glad this time it turned out well. This time i also included some wax seals for my penpal, i ordered a full set from AliExpress that was really cheap so i played around with it a bit. Not many of them turned out well but i was satisfied with these and included them for her. I absolutely need to order more wax beads though, i only have a few

:: Have you written to you pen pal recently? ::
These days almost all of our long distance communication is digital. But, do you remember the era of sending and recieving letters? I think we will miss handwritten mail one day. To keep the tradition alive I created a pen pal kit for you all:
Two floral envelopes, four pages of handcut botanical parchment, one unique zine made by me to inspire a love of letter writing & crafts -- get your package on Etsy.
