Scrapbook Paper Envelopes

Envelopes are so fun and super easy to make! Plus, we all use them in the swaps we send.

Templates: There are all sorts of ways to get them, but I’ll share my favorite: Take an envelope you already own and carefully take it apart. Trace it onto a piece of cardstock, cardboard, etc., cut it out, and now you are ready to make envelopes! I’m sure once you try this method, you’ll start looking all envelopes in a new way.

Personally, I make most of mine out of papers from 12”x12” scrapbook paper pads. (K&Company is one of my favorite brands; they have good quality paper. You might have other favorites.) You’ll end up with a strip left over that could be used to make cards (see the other swap I’m hosting: **Pretty Paper Scrap Cards)

Swap details:

• You will make and send 3 envelopes to each of your 2 partners. The envelopes should be made out of scrapbook paper and be no smaller than the minimum allowed by United States Postal System (5” long X 3 1/2” high). Other than that, you can make them as large as you want to.

• Please include a note card or letter, telling them a bit about you and/or your day. This card can be handmade or store-bought.

• Sender’s choice on envelope colors/patterns/designs.
