Hi Everybody,This is one of the cards I produced on Create and Craft using the Scrappy Cat Mini Envelope
I cut the envelopes out of parchment and then embossed them with a folder.
To make sure that the folder didn't cut into the parchment I sandwiched it between copier paper before running it through the machine.
You can always use the embossed copier paper on another project
I simply added two of the envelopes to some patterned Anna Griffin card that had been matted onto plain pink ( I seem to be on a real pink trend at present)
The spotty ribbon from MeiFlower is wrapped around the layers and then added to my base.
I cut little tags to fit inside the envelopes and stamped and embossed them with a small sentiment. They are simply placed in the envelopes with a foam pad behind them
The tiny roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts The little sentiment is from Spellbinders and is Sentiments Eight
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
That's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty, thanks for the tip with the paper to stop the folder cutting,I have the same problem with one folder, it cuts the card every time, so now I"m off to have a go and see how I go

I love this card so much . Thank you for showing me another way to use this die.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely idea, Christina, I also tend to gravitate to the pinks, when I make cards, it is such a feminine colour isn't it! hugs Lyn xxx
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card Christina, i must get these mini envelope dies , nice tip about the copier paper.

ReplyDeleteHi Christina another beautiful card, what a great tip about putting paper between folder would never have thought of doing that learn something new every day. I have some dies that cut into the cards when embossing will try with them as well.

My kind of card, pink....yay, it is beautiful Christina, love the idea of the vellum envelopes, I have tried embossing vellum and found it to split, so next time will use your tip, thank you.....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHi Christina

Great idea.thanks for sharing this with us
Nothing like cute and girly to start the week of.
ReplyDeleteI love the little envelopes, they look so dainty and the embossing adds so much texture.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina :) What a beautiful card this morning! Absolutely love it! I too, am a pink girl! I have a wood grain embossing folder I'm going to try that with, as it tears my paper all the time. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy a lovely day. Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the softness the vellum creates.
ReplyDeleteThat's really beautiful, Christina. x
ReplyDeleteLovely card! And what a good idea to sandwich the parchment between copy paper! That's an idea I will use. Thanks
ReplyDeleteReally pretty card and- like the other comments - common sense to put extra paper over parchment BUT why didn't we think of that ???!!! Thanks Christina - you keep us all happy xxxx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! TFS!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the envelopes you put on the card.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, cor what a cold weekend, hope yours is better up there. This is a very pretty pink card, with embossed envelopes. I don't think I had tried embossing velum before I saw this a few weeks ago on C&C. I tried a couple of folders and the effect is really good. Thank you X Ros
