Fortunately, even without punch board or score board, envelopes are easy to make and, even better, they can be tailored to the recipient or made to match the card inside.
The Artful Times challenge couldn't be more timely and this is what I have produced:
I used free papers from magazine (I can't think how to use them otherwise) and embossed 2 corners with some Tim Holtz folders. I created a mask with a die-cut label (Spellbinders) and stamped a small flower stamp (magazine freebie) around the mask to create the address panel.
I added stamped and die-cut flowers & leaves (Papertrey Ink) and for closure a hand written piece of washi tape.
If you haven't yet tried to make your own envelopes, find yourself a template (plenty on the net) and have a go!
Gorgeous colours, fabulous envelope. Love decorating my envelopes to match the cards i make, really does make a difference. Love what you have created :-) xxx

ReplyDeleteHow darn cute, Crafty!! I love how you did the BG and your quote is wonderful and perfect for the image too! I am taking a stencil class and love what you did. Of course you really know how!
This is beautiful, C, and I really like the colors! I hear you on the envys. Some of the Spellbinder dies mean one has to make their own! Yours is gorgeous!

Great colours they really pop together, This is the better size to work with but then I am Australian and this is our standard size, well one of them. I usually make all my envelopes too.
