I had fun making these envelopes. Enjoy. Enjoy.
kind of like the Saturday Evening post... but on Thursday... anyway... happy holidays!!! I LOVE to shop... Rick teases me that if shopping was an olympic event, I'd be on the center podium... so it kills me... but sometimes you have to just give cash... but here's a quick unique way to make it a little more special... the first one takes a few minutes to figure out... but when you have a sample, it's quick to zip more out... the 2nd & 3rd take less than 15 minutes to complete... TRUST ME! here's how to turn a manila tag into a cash envelope... to look like this... if you want to play... start with a #8 manila tag... one tool that I don't use every day, but I LOVE, is the scor-it... it makes perfect folds very time... so... measure 2 inches from the top of the tag & score... and measure 1 1/2 inches from the bottom & score again... your tag will look like this... ink the tag with vintage photo distress ink using the blending tool & completely cover both sides... add walnut stain distress ink to the edges... working on the BACK of the tag... use walnut stain to stamp the ticking as shown... over the top 2 sections of the tag... for backgrounds, I usually, not always... press unevenly to create a worn vintage look... or I apply the ink in random areas... now it looks like this... use coffee archival to stamp the polka dot border on the lower section... use jet black archival to stamp the saying over the middle section... stamp the mini branch with forest moss... over the middle section... here's a tip... you can protect the top section with a post-it note, to prevent stamping on the top... this is the BACK of the tag... turn the tag over & work on the FRONT of the tag... use coffee to stamp the Christmas background over the top 2 sections... a little tip... the "have yourself a merry little Christmas" background has teeny tiny words, which makes it hard to read & tell which side is up... so, to avoid stamping it upside down... I used a sharpie & put an arrow right on the cling to know which direction is up... saves an oops & it's a quick tip... use fired brick to stamp the greeting... use forest moss to stamp the mini branches several times on the top of the tag... fold the bottom section up...and use jet black to stamp the mini scroll & "look inside" 2 times... fold the bottom up & use a thin line of Glossy Accents on just the edges to create the pocket... the inside now looks like this... stamp the holly 2 times on grungepaper with jet black... cut out one full image & an extra leaf... ink the leaves with forest moss... front & back... use a cut & dry nib to ink the holly berries with barn door distress ink... use jet black to stamp the border of polka dots over the leaves... add barn door distress stickles to the berries & dry... cut a ribbon to approximately 14 inches... put one end thru the hole, across the top of the tag & down the back... glue the holly over the ribbon to hold it in place... this is the only adhesive I used on the ribbon... it's not glued on the back, so the greeting can be read... fold the tag... and tie a bow to keep it closed... here's the finished envelope again... like I said... the first one takes a bit to figure out... if you're using text... but this next one took no time to finish... I needed one for a boy... so, the same folds, but a little different closure... tim's truck was stamped with jet black... the initial, from tim's new lost & found salvage stickers... was put onto black presentation board... cut out & distressed with tim's sanding grip then a little vintage photo... the T was glued with Glossy Accents to look like it's in the back of the truck... a simple way to personalize the envelope... so... follow the instructions above... and after gluing the edges to create the pocket, insert an eyelet on the bottom of the tag... this time I used black string to keep the envelope closed & cash safe... this also works for a quickie birthday envelope too... or it's a simple way to hide a mini love note! think valentine's day... YIKES... let's get thru Christmas first... one other tip... if you decide to use other background stamps for stamping the back of the tag... remember that when the tag is folded, text or numbers will be upside down... on the top flap... so, keep it simple & use patterned backgrounds to save time... just saying... how about more prizes??? OK...FIRST... we have one for... Jacki said... This tree is so cute - and so you, Wendy! I love EVERYTHING that you create! We are so lucky you create ART and share it with all of us!

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀 I am here with another Junk Journal project. This time I am using window envelopes to make tags and matching pockets. I got the idea from a project I saw in one of the Facebook groups i ma in and then popped over to YouTube to watch the video. I loved it so much I just had to have a go myself. The channel is Emma Durrans and the video can be viewed by clicking here :-) I made my first one, then I filmed me making another for the video and then I just had to make another one! I collaged on the envelope for the the first 2 but for my last one I made a template and used a single digital collage sheet to cover it and added a frame around the window. I decided to stitch all around the tags but you don't have to if you do ot have a sewing machine. I made a matching pocket from the section of the envelope that I cut off, this can go around the corner of a page so forms 2 pockets.

Do you like gift tags? I love them. Big or small, simple or elaborately even overly decorated… Actually there is no such thing as an “overly decorated gift tag”. It is amazing how, in so little space, you can create and say so many “words”. The best thing with gift tags is that you can use even the smallest pieces of paper in your craft collection. I started doing exactly this in the process of creating my huge paper… um… carefully chosen selection of lovely, beautiful pieces, which I didn’t want to use, because of their beauty. If you read…

A layered tag with pockets. Een label gemaakt uit laagjes die vakjes vormen. More labels and wishes in each pocket. Nog meer labels en wensen in de vakjes gestopt. Stamping, embossing, punching, sponging, stitching... Stempelen, embossen, ponsen, sponzen, stikken,... This photo shows the labels and the leather backside of the tag. Stitching all layers together was quite easy. Op deze foto zie je de labels en de lederen achterkant van de tag. Het viel goed mee om het allemaal aan elkaar te stikken. Happy Birthday Anneke!!

Guest tutorial by Ruth Bleakley I discovered this envelope making method completely by accident when pulling soggy rain-soaked mail out of my leaky mailbox – I had a total *eureka* moment when the envelope I gingerly opened up completely unfolded at the seams revealing an envelope “template” perfectly. I’ve seen many envelope tutorials online, some offer downloadable templates, some show fancy paper folding techniques and some suggest specific measurements to create your own D.I.Y. envelopes. I’m going to show you how to replicate any interesting envelope that you might already have, no measuring involved! HOW TO MAKE IT 1. Choose an envelope you

Mini Envelopes: A great way to use up paper scraps :) Inspired by this fabulous post I found via pinterest, I decided to take apart a mini envelope (2.5"x4.25") I had in my studio. I created several of these cuties and then incorporated them into a journal page and a gift wrap idea. I have created a template from the envelope I used that is available at the end of this post to save and print. These cuties are perfect for the upcoming holiday season -- they will fit a little card or giftcard and could be made to coordinate with wrapping paper and add a fun whimsy to a present :) As I was photographing, my sweet Joshua was loving the present and kept going for it. I love that I caught his cute little hand in this shot :) Want to make your own mini envelopes? Right click, save and print on 8.5"x11" paper. Cut out and trace around on decorative paper, cut and adhere per the directions on the template.
You all know, we simply can not have too many tags ! We use them as bookmarkers, on our scrapbook pages, tie to a gift we're giving or simply give because someone is special. This set I designed this morning will be going to a dear friend who loves to read and added to my journal. Enjoy !
