I try to keep the decorations simple and quick to do so that if they get damaged in the mail, it's no big deal :-)
Here's an example of one I made recently before sending to a friend who likes blues, turquoises and spirals:
On a piece of paper, I used stamping ink pads for the coloured background, silver pen for the spirals and silver star stickers leftover from my holiday sticker garland project. Then I glued the piece of paper to the envelope with a gluestick, trimmed the edges, taped the envelope closed and addressed the other side. All set to go!
It was quick, easy and fun and I hope that it will brighten some postal worker's day.
I try to re-use and re-purpose as much as possible. The piece of paper was scrap from the recycling bin and the envelope was re-used (hence my needing to tape it closed :)
☺
