Hi! I'm the hostess this week over at Just Us Girls for the Trend Week challenge. I chose for us to make a matching envelope. I feel envelopes get ignored sometimes and thought this would be a good challenge.
I started by making my card. I used the Peaceful Pines stencils from Taylored Expressions. This made four cards, but I'm only sharing one here today. I saw one on their site using these bright colors and thought it was so fun, so I went with it. I added some texture with their Fresh Snow paste. It's kind of hard to see in the photos. I stamped the sentiment and added crystals and mounted it on an aqua card base.
For the envelope, I created it in the same manner as the card to mirror it. When I send cards to family and friends out of town, I always stamp the back flap with a sentiment that says "Greetings from Buffalo" and I have a buffalo stamp that I stamp with it (I live in Buffalo, NY). I got it at my LSS, who special orders them.
You can see more from the JUGs design team and our November guest on the JUGs blog.
Thanks for stopping by!
