A little gift for you… (decorated envelope)

Hello there!

Last week a crafty friend of mine and I exchanged some trading cards for our kids, so I sent her a little package. Of course it had to be pretty 🙂

Funny thing, this is the first time I actually made an envelope with the Envelope punch board, as I always used it to make boxes! How fun is that!

Here is my decorated envelope:

The package consists of the envelope and a little card in front. A paper stripe with a big butterfly holds everything together.

On the card, I stamped the little butterflies from the Perpetual Calendar in Blushing Bride on Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment comes from the set One Big Meaning. I like that I can hide it under the paper stripe 🙂

The envelope is stamped tone on tone with the dots from Dotty Angles.

The butterfly die cut from the Butterfly Thinlits is one of my favourite. I love how intricate it is. I put a heart rhinestone on the center. The sentiment “For You” comes from the Circle of Spring.

I really like how it all turned out. It is sweet and delicate, perfect for a very nice lady 🙂

Supplies:

• Stamps: Perpetual Calendar, Dotty Angles, Spring Circle, One Big Meaning
• Dies: Butterfly Thinlits Dies
• Inks: Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Memento Tuxedo Black
• Papers: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride
• Tool: Envelope Punch Board

Thanks for visiting!

Purple Peony

Hello!

My card for today shows the beautiful peony from “You’ve got this” stamp set. In real life, peonies are one of my favourite flowers so I had to have this stamp 🙂

First I stamped the peony in Memento Tuxedo Black, to be able to colour it with alcohol markers. I used various shades to give a more realistic look. Then I fussy cut it.

To create the background, I stamped the peony multiple times, carefully removing the ink on the stem. Then I coloured all around the flowers with a very light grey alcohol marker. I die cut some leaves in white cardstock and vellum, created a banner for my sentiment and mounted the purple peony with foam adhesives. A few sequins were added to give the mandatory bit of shine.

I hope you like it 🙂

Supplies (Stampin’Up!) :

• Stamp Set : You’ve got this, Le sens de la reconnaissance (One Big Meaning)
• Inks : Memento Tuxedo Black
• Papers : Whisper White cardstock, vellum
