Envelopes, Envelopes, Envelopes





Hi everyone,

It’s the 20th of the month which means today is the day that The Stamps of Life release their new dies sets.

Today I have a few cards to share with you using the new Envelope Die.

For my first card today I die cut two envelopes and used the Sizzix Birds & Trees die set with stamps to decorate my card.



For my second card today I used the Sizzix Square Flip-its #2 Card Framelits to create this card.
Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the pull out piece in the envelope before I posted this away. It uses stamps from the sampler2love  stamp set and coordinating Sampler Dies.

Here is the “flip” side of my card so you can see the other side of the centre panel.




For my final card today I paired the Envelope die with crayons2stamp and words4crayons stamp sets. There is also a coordinating Crayon Dies which I didn’t have when I made my card … they arrived the next day!

As you can see, I did remember to take a photo of this card with the little note lifted out of the envelope Smile.

Cute cards Frances. I like how you've attached the envelope askew on the circle panel.
