6 Different Ways to Dress Up Your Envelopes!
For my Facebook Live yesterday, I shared 6 different ways to dress up your envelopes! When you take the time to create a beautiful card for someone, be sure to add a little something to make the envelope special as well! Hope these ideas will inspire you to do just that!
I am offering an ordering special this week -scroll down to the end of my post to find out how you can receive a FREE Package of Basic White Envelopes from me!
The first envelope is one of our Clear Envelopes – did you know you can mail a card in these? Such fun to receive something like this in the mail – with a view of the card inside! My friend says “the mail carrier will enjoy it too!”
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live – please watch and enjoy!
Envelope #2 that I created is a stamped frame that coordinates beautifully with my card featuring the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle. Simply stamp your leaves all the way around the perimeter of the envelope to create a bright, color coordinated frame.
Envelope #3 was created with the In Bloom embossing folder – just slip your envelope into an embossing folder and zip it through your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to create this beauty! I added a coordinating label cut from the Tasteful Labels Dies – attached with Liquid Glue. This creates the perfect spot to add the name and address of the lucky recipient.
Envelope #4 was created using the Basic Borders dies – the flap of the envelope mimics the “hill” I created on this card – Don’t miss the Basic Borders dies – they are awesome for both cards………..and envelope flaps!
Envelope #5 was created with the Rectangle Stitched Dies and the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper – a free Saleabration reward!! I used 2 Rectangle dies, zipped them through my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine and created a frame. Simply attach to your envelope front with a good amount of Liquid Glue. Another way to attach the frame, would be to adhere a piece of the Adhesive Sheet to the back of the DSP before cropping the frame, and attach it that way.
And envelope #6 was super simple – I stamped the sparrow, and then used a 3″ x 4″ rectangle as a template to draw little dashes and dots that will frame the name/address of the recipient.
I hope you have enjoyed these ideas – which is your favorite? I’d love to know! These are all quite simple ideas, but will take your beautifully created hand stamped cards to a new level!

Bee Creative Tutorial – Reflected In Nature Adventure Card
I love the Reflected in Nature Stamp Set in the July – December Mini Catalog. I think it’s easy to miss this one – and wanted to point it out today- as it shouldn’t be missed! The main stamp in this set is the beautiful cabin/woods that is reflected on the water. It stamps so well and with so much detail!
As stampers, we are always looking for cards for the men in our lives – and this stamp set is perfect for those cards! Hope you enjoy this card and the tutorial today!
MEASUREMENTS:
- Basic White Thick Cardstock- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (card base), 3 1/2 Square (stamped image)
- Beauty of the Earth DSP – 4 x 5 1/4, 2 x 4
- Basic White Cardstock – 1/2 x 31/2 (word panel)
- Cinnamon Cider & Cajun Craze Cardstock 2 1/2 x 1/2
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fold the Basic White Thick Cardstock in half and burnish the fold with a Bone Folder.
- Adhere the DSP together and to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Flag the Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze Cardstock ends with Paper Snips.
- Adhere the flagged pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and adhere to card front.
- Stamp the sentiment and image in Early Espresso Ink onto the dedicated Basic White Cardstock pieces.
- Trim the image with Paper Snips. I followed the shape of the stamped image – creating an uneven border of white around the image, softening the look.
- Fold a loop of Early Espresso Suede Ribbon. Adhere and tuck under the sentiment with Mini Glue Dots.
- Adhere the image and sentiment to card with Dimensionals.
- Embellish with Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
