Hello dear friends and welcome to my blog. So happy that you've stopped by.
Well, another fortnight has gone by and it is time for a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. Josephine is hosting this one and the Theme is Embossing!
As always, you don't have to make a card. You can create anything you like as long as it follows the Theme.
For my project, I have created a small envelope which will go into a Mini Album I am creating at the moment.
This is not my design. I was looking for embossing ideas when I came across this style envelope and felt it would be ideal for my new Mini. A lady named Sherry has a blog post showing how she put it all together and I will share the link at the end of this post.
I used Core'dination cardstock to create this envelope and, after embossing, I used an emery board to bring out the pattern and expose the core.
A button and string closure keeps the envelope shut and ..
.. when opened, it reveals ..
Would love it if you would pop across and take a peek at the fabulous creations by my Teamies. Lots of fab inspiration to be had!

This is such a beautiful bookmark holder, I love the effect of the embossed Core'dinations card, it is just perfect. I am off to check out the link, thank you for sharing it. Anne xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful project. Lovely envelope. Have a creative week. Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Marg, well I have fallen in love with your beautiful envelope. The idea itself could be used for so many things. Thank you for sharing. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant, immensely pretty make. As young kids, my siblings and I started our own business selling cute handmade bookmarks door-to-door (we did quite well for the time and our ages - with our best sales day being the time we hit upon a family reunion being held on the street right behind ours). It's been about 25 years now since those carefree days, but anytime I make or see a homemade bookmark, I cannot help but think of the fun we had as imaginative, entrepreneurial-minded youngsters.

Hello dear Marg~ Your envelope is gorgeous! It is amazing what embossing adds! & the fact that this is useful as well as beautiful! : ) Love your work~ (some life changing things going on right now for me so I've not been able to visit around as I'd like) Wishing you a wonderful weekend and week ahead! Hugs & blessings, karen o
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty little envelope - the embossing makes it look special. A lovely way to gift a small bookmark, or anything else for that matter. I can see it adapted to hold some folded money or a cinema ticket. TFS
ReplyDeleteLove the shabby chic look of the sanded texture - it's a great little gift envelope for the sweet bookmark.
