The first thing I did was pull up the Silhouette Studio software to see what I already had on file. Since I haven't done any envelopes yet, there wasn't anything. A quick trip to the store awarded me a card and envelope file that fits so many trends right now that it was worth $1 from my subscription balance - a hexagon card with envelope!!! Sweet, I can use that hexie again with a little bit of editing.
Next, I decided to use up some of my lingering MME Lost and Found papers. Two papers from Union Square and then one from a 6x6 Lost and Found 2 paper pad. The 12x12 Union Square became the base of the card, the envelope and an embellishment for each. I used some scrap Union Square on the card and fussy cut some of that 6x6 sheet for both the card and envelope. Almost all of it got inked with Colorbox - Chestnut Roan and a little bit of Gold. The sparkly flower stem is Prima. Twine is MME.

Now obviously this is not a card that can be mailed. It was designed for a special person in my life and will be hand delivered very soon!

Now that is most definitely the most clever envelope I have seen! LOVE your card too. Thanks for playing along with us at the Paper Variety!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! And that envelope is so ridiculously cool and inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. I loved that the envelope allowed for a lot of depth/layers. Can't wait for tomorrow when I give it to my friend!
