Dress your envelopes!

I love making envelopes to coordinate with each card. Using the Envelope Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers makes it super easy. Now that I am the proud winner of three Simon Says Stamp stamp sets, it got even better. Thanks to Kristina Werner (http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/) for the inspiration for today's project and for the giveaway. I'll be using the three sets this week for my projects.
 
Making a label allows me to use patterns and dark paper for envelopes. The label is made from pale pink lightweight cardstock which I ran through the Xyron sticker maker. A little distressing with Tim Holtz Antique Linen distress ink, stamps from Simon Says Stamp Cupcake Party and Envelope Sentiments...and this project is done!
 
 
 
 
I loved Kristina's idea to wrap the label around the envelope for the return address, as I have done here. Just be careful not to interfere with the flap!
 
 
 
Who wouldn't love opening their mailbox to see this fun envelope waiting?!
