Decorated Envelopes

As we are fastly approaching Christmas - only 8 days left!!!! I want to give you some last minute inspiration. I did not buy the coordinating stamps for this Designer Series Paper, but found that the new Incredible Like You stamp set from the 2019 Occasions Catalog had a perfect leaf set to decorate the front and back flaps of the envelopes! I finished it off and found some clustered dots from my stash to add the holly.

~ Enjoy!


This envelope flap was decorated using the Dashing Deer stamp set for the holly and the Wishing You Well stamp set

Instructions - Punch Board Gift Card Holder

Her is yet another cute Gift Card Holder made from a 5 x 5 inch of cardstock, super easy & you can decorate the front many different ways!

~Enjoy




Start with a piece of cardstock (plain or printed - but it must be cardstock weight). Using your envelope punch board punch and score at 3", turn paper clockwise, then punch and score at 2", repeat.


Turn your envelope punch board around & use the corner rounder provided & round all corners of your envelope.


Stamp your solid cardstock


Cut a white piece of cardstock for the message box at 2 x 3.5 inches. Decorate the inside of the envelope as desired. Fold the envelope closed.


Using Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits Dies cut 2 white swirls from White Glimmer Paper and one Snowflake from Silver Glimmer Paper. Cut a belly band from a piece of coordinating paper to match your background. The one shown is only decorated with the small star cluster from Still Night. Punch a navy piece of cardstock with the Everyday Label punch.


Fold the band around the folded envelope. Secure the band with a small piece of Tear-n-tape. Make sure to use a sturdy adhesive because this will be an active piece of the card. Only use adhesive on the part where the band touches itself - do not adhere it to the envelope. This is meant to be able to slide on and off.

Add the punched label to the belly ban making sure to only adhere the 2 items together & do not add adhesive where it will touch the envelope. Add the Glimmer paper accents & some rhinestones for extra bling!
