DIY paper envelopes...

Today I spent a few hours working on the handmade paper envelopes I am making to send out to all of my collectors from the past year.  I plan on slipping a little thank you note, as well as some exclusive deals for them to say thanks for supporting me over the past year.  I wanted to do something a little more special than a plain white envelope, also I want it stand out in the mail....and I have a small love affair with pretty paper!
 Trace and cut out the template and then simply refold your paper into an envelope, then use a sticker to seal it before you send!
All you need is some pretty paper, I use scrapbooking paper, a scissor,
a paper envelope to use as a template and some glue, I use mod podge
and apply it with a brush.

I use labels so that you can see the address easily

All done!  They take some time, but I find it relaxing to work on them in the afternoon while I have some tea, I do a few a day and before i know it they are all ready to send.  Plus I know someone will be getting something extra special in the mail :)
