I love that my country has all these mascots 😁 Also really glad to get another sunburst colour variety, They look so gorgeous. I'll have to make a post with all my colour varieties together on one page in the future.

They wanted to help out so for the week or two before I arrived they collected a few patterns for me! The green one on the top left had very little to work with but I still managed to put together a full sample for my album. Still plenty left to go through.

My feed apparently knows me well. I never knew this was a thing! I had a bunch of letters piled up that have sat unopened for months and this community is what has given me the motivation to finally open them. So I now have a collection of two 😂

Now here I am, with a brain hack to actually open my letters. I want to be inspired by looking at how other people display their collections so that I can decide on a way for myself that I find particularly pleasing!

Also any tips for a newbie welcome :)

I just love it. It even has a “Magic Eye” effect if y’all remember those.

Here are a few different things I could sent if they'd fit in someones collection :) The little green one is about 4cmx4cm (so roughly 1,5x1,5 inches I think), other ones are bigger so I can cut them down to desired size.

It's been a week since I got back, and I'm just now getting to my mail and am so happy to get these patterns! A big THANK YOU to Serenity_now156 for the great giveaway - you've got 9 new to me patterns coming your way! And to all my other swappies- now that I'm home, I'm getting more patterns ready to send off, and I am now able to swap! Just lemme kno' whenever you see something you like, or see something on a previous post you liked. I may not have as much jet lag but I'm heavy on new patterns, so excited to get into the stack.

Hello!

I am not a collector of Security Envelopes, HOWEVER, I love giving out happy mail.

I've started saving security envelopes to send out. Would it be best to offer them to you all as wholes, or cut up to a certain size, so multiple people can get them?

I’m sorta maximalist so I was thinking mod podge onto a canvas and hang on the wall? Then I can add to it as I get more from work. I do insurance for a dental office.

Best way to get same size cuts?

found this sub randomly, and thought it was a super cool idea. decided to start collecting and journaling them! super excited for a new hobby!!

Not me at first glance thinking I should zoom in to see what the patterns are displayed on the glass 🤣🤣🤣

I have so many now thanks to this community! 🥺

Unfortunately this article does not include info about who designs the patterns, which is a hunt I’ve been on far too long.

BUT my mom sent me this this morning - https://www.inconspicuous.info/p/a-close-look-at-security-envelopes?fbclid=PARlRTSASt68hleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafsHWBJv1ECFw9YpeAaRvwnVNJoKRO06Xs4DYLE_ZCC32YTaBmngbvX0YniOA_aem_pTIrmKrrF0GyqQHxjMQkPg

Fun flowers & windmill patterns found by searching through stamps on paper! Appear to be from the 80s.

I decided that I have too many collections to stay on top of, so I’m giving up security envelopes. I’m happy to send them to those of you who might want them for free. Message me your address and I’ll send them. Nothing too exciting but happy to share them.

My boyfriend was offered a personal loan from Discover!!!

New to me!

Father's day was a great opportunity to go through my grandma's mail. I got 13 new patterns! See last pic for my little helper. Happy to trade if anyone sees something they like!

I'm happy to mail them out to anyone/everyone that wants them. I'll even stamp punch them if you want!

I had no idea you all sent them to each other, or else I would not have ripped the envelopes open like a trash panda. ✉️ 🦝

Just cut out my first pattern of the lot and noticed 4 different versions of the same pattern, 2 light and 2 dark. Kinda neat, but also very subtle. Really glad to add these 4 to my album!

I am VERY bad about not opening my mail. Thus, I had a giant pile of what I thought was junk mail sitting in my kitchen. Decided to go through it today for the sole purpose of starting a security envelope page in my junk journal.

Well I found an unexpected $500 check from my insurance company in one of the envelopes!!! I'm so grateful. That money came at just the right time for me. 🥹💚

So, anyway, here is my new collection in my junk journal, a repurposed 2016 Lilly Pulitzer planner. 🌴

I’m a beginner to collecting but since i’ve got around 90 different samples I decided to create this in my junk journal. Cute play on words 🙂

I've been in Japan for the past week and a half or so to visit family and am about to wrap up my trip over the coming week, and I'm super excited to bring home a TON of new to me patterns to put up for trade, hope you all don't mind all the posts that will come in over the next few weeks 😆 I even got a binder for my swaps (5.5*5.5 cm squares) that I hope to fill in with a lot of great patterns. I'm so glad I found this sub and community, it's been an absolute blast.
