Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a few ideas to dress up your envelopes. I have seven different ways to share with you on how to add a little pizzazz to your envelopes to dress them up. I mean why not! We spend a lot of time creating them so let's make the presentation just as pretty.
There are a number of ways to dress up your envelopes and not send them out naked! I mean no one wants to see things running around naked. And especially at the post office of all places. So I picked seven of my favorite ways to dress up envelopes to finish off the presentation.
1. Emboss the Flaps
2. Two-Step It:
3. Masking:
Yes, you can mask off the address area of your envelope and stamp around it. It creates a fun little decorative element to write your address and it's completely customizable. So you can match your card as well. Here I used the Approaching Perfection Stamp Set and a little Painters Tape to create this fun label. Remember to destickafy your painter's tape a little before sticking it down to your envelope, and to pull the tape off slowly toward you to prevent tearing. You could also use a simple post-it note as well.
4. Designer Series Paper:
I love to take leftover Designer Series Paper and attach it to the flap of the envelope. I like to cut it at least 2 7/8" x 6" to have enough DSP that I can trim around the flap with my Paper Snips.
5. DSP Inserts:
We've had a lot of die sets over the years that will allow you to cut an insert to put on the inside of your envelopes as well. This allows you to decorate the inside of the envelope to add a professional look and is super easy. If you don't have a set of dies that will do this you can do it with just a piece of DSP and your Paper Snips as well. Just remember to stick the DSP on the inside before you glue it down. You can see the video below to see how I did just that.
6. Make your Own Envelope
You can also make your own custom envelope with a piece of Designer Series Paper. And you can customize it to your card size. For the A2 size card, I used an 8" x 8" piece of Designer Series Paper and wrapped it around the card, and cut the corners to make this beautiful custom envelope. Super simple and easy.
7. Wax Seals
