First up is this cute purple envelope design by @mochibujo I like the lettering of the recipient’s name and the layering of different elements such as scrapbook ephemera + washi tapes. It adds such depth and dimension to the design!

This envelope design by @catsplanner is so elegant! I love the use of the doily and the Hinoki wax seal sticker + frames to add some texture and layers. The more neutral colour scheme also adds such a beautiful vintage aesthetic to the envelope! I’d definitely be so happy receiving this.

The ribbon on this penpal mail by @lootengstudio is such a nice touch. It definitely makes the penpal mail more special and more exciting to open as it resembles a gift. I also like the calming palette and again the lettering of different stickers and washi tapes.

Red + pink is such a cute colour combination and I am loving this strawberry dreamland by @shan.jrnls! I love the simple yet bold lettering in the middle and the fun + funky layering of different shades of pink and red.

Another super cute way to make your penpal mails pop is by using coloured envelopes like this yellow one by @bujo.and.sky and adding cute stickers. The pastel lettering of the recipient’s name is everything! Such a cute envelope!

I love the vibe of this envelope design by @penpakajsa with different layers of paper and ephemera. The blue accents make the envelope really stand out!
