No Naked Envelopes!

TIP OF THE WEEK – No Naked Envelopes!

Decorating your envelopes is a quick and beautiful way to make a card look professional and complete.

Beside the fox card you can see I glued a piece of designer paper to the envelope flap and then trimmed it. This is a great way to use some of your older dsp and makes the envelope so pretty.

Most often I just stamp a small image in the bottom right corner of my envelope. This keep s the image away from where you need to put addresses or postage and is like a sneak peek to the card inside. Doing this envelope stamping as you create your card saves time as well since you already have the image and the ink in hand.

Alternatively, I will occasionally stamp the flap of the envelope. This works well with large or repeating images (like the confetti in the birthday card below). To do this, I put a piece of scrap paper under my envelope and tucked under the fap. That ensures all my ink goes on the flap only and I can overlap the edges.

Any queestions, comments? I’d love to hear from you! leahdixon41@gmail.com






Stamparatus meets Tropical Chic

I created this card using the Stamparatus to evenly space these colour stripes. No worries about stamping a partial image, being crooked or having uneven spaces. I will post a video later this week demonstrating some of the Stamparatus techniques.

In the meantime, you can contact me to book your own party where I can give you a chance to use the Stamparatus and get a hands on experience with it. You can see for yourself  how easy and stress free stamping can be. This tool makes stamping accessible to even young children or people who suffer from arthritis and other ailments of the hands that make holding steady to stamp difficult.
