A Note from Taylor
I created a quick video to show just how easy it is to mass produce super cute envelopes with the help of the MISTI . I also grabbed my colored pencils, blending stumps, and a little gamsol (odorless mineral spirit solvent) for a beautifully shaded image where the color won’t bleed through the envelope.
Send It In C O L O R
Usually, envelopes are decorated to match cards, but why not try creating cards to match your envelopes using our Bold A2 Envelopes. These envelopes perfectly coordinate with our TE Matched Premium Cardstsock in some of our favorite bright and cheerful colors.

With our Scalloped Envelope Liner die and Playful Patterns 6x6 Paper Pack, cut beautiful, color-coordinated liners. But don't forget to save your scraps of patterned paper! Tuck the scrap inside the corresponding envelope until you are ready to create. Now, when you need to create a quick card, you are already halfway there!
In the above card and envelope set, the envelope's scrap of patterned paper design was the jumping off point for a cute, 20-minute card! Using our Inner Scallop Circle Stacklets to frame a Sugar Cube Ink-stamped hot air balloon from our Sky's the Limit stamp & die combo and a sentiment from Simply Said - Birthday, this card was a breeze to make and will be a joy to send.
TOFFEE SWEET
For fans of kraft-colored projects, try our Toffee A2 Envelopes and make hand-stamped holiday envelopes like these lovely samples by Melody Rupple. Melody used our Merry Mail 2 stamp set and colored in rich, traditional colors.

MERRIEST OF MAIL
Christmas is a favorite time for sending cards and the perfect chance to embellish your envelopes! Here are a few designed by Keia Shipp-Smith that are sure to get you in a festive mood to create.
Using our Merry Mail 1 stamp set, Keia stamped across the front of our Sugar Cube A2 Envelopes, coloring up the included address frame in bright colors.
Above, Keia stamped a row of sweet trees, adding die-cut stars to make the envelope extra special.

Below, Santa's little helper puppy adds a sweet greeting to an envelope that's just begging to be opened!
Keia used both our Bold and Savory Playful Patterns 6x6 Paper Packs and our Scalloped Envelope Liner die to finish off her envelopes in style.
SEALED WITH LOVE
Don't forget to finish off your happy mail with a hand-stamped seal. Our Sealed with Love stamp set includes images that perfectly fit our Envelope Seals. Stamp them up and you'll be ready to pop your card in the mailbox!
