Helpful Tips Tuesday: Decorating Envelopes

Creating envelopes to match your handmade cards is always a plus. Instead of stamping images "which is always an added bonus to a beautiful envelopes" use matching Designer Series Paper to create a fun matching set. 

1. Start by tracing with a pencil the flap onto DSP
 (I trace on opposite side that I plan to use)


2. Then fussy cut traced image out. 


3. Lastly use adhesive to attach to outer flap of envelope.
