Winter exchange part 2

I love the snowflake stamps from a few years ago. They look fantastic on Jan's envelope.

Clever wreath placement from Saba.

And a neat piece of washi on the back.

A cool snowman from Chuck. Amazing shading!

I love this modern take on a Christmas tree from Elena. It looks so effortless, that I would like to try it, however I bet it is a bit tougher than it looks to get the proportions right.

Jack sent a sharp envelope. I love the tree, and the red stippling behind 'Phillip', and the slanted 'i's. Really neat to have Jimi Hendrix on a winter/holiday envelope.

And a designer snowflake from Eric. I always thought Eric was a graphic designer, but he is not, just self-trained on the computer.

Like the last exchange, Chuck K used the whole envelope. I like the way the mail barcode added to the design of the address.

Winter Exchange - the Christmas catalogs

For the largest portion of the envelopes I sent out for Jan & Jean's winter exchange I used a Paper Source catalog. The colors in the catalog went really well with Winter Fun, Rudolph, Holiday Bauble and Global Wreath stamps.

On the topic of Paper Source, Eric had admired the bag I sent to Jean, so I sent him another one I had acquired.

The USPS philatelic catalog also made for some great holiday envelopes that worked well with a lot of the holiday stamps.

This one to Jack isn't from a catalog, although it looks a bit like it. It is from one of those pages of a magazine suggesting gifts for men. I thought this looked good with one of the modern art stamps.
