christmas envelopes

This was a guest post last year....and since i still don't have my act together (shooting for 2014!!! it will be a good year!) i'm reposting these here....cause A. i want to . B. these are super cute and C. i can't find anything in my draft box so i have to clean it out.

today i'm making super cute, easy, inexpensive envelopes to mail your christmas letters and cards.

i used wrapping paper...but scrapbook paper works the same!

i just opened up some envelopes to use as a template

then i just laid it out on the wrapping paper...take an exacto knife and trimmed around

then folded in the flaps. i used extra strength elmer's glue stick to make sure no letters are lost!

 i used some stamps to make some tags...

and just glued them on!

you can do all sizes! i got these great christmas cards from paper coterie and just used the envelopes they gave me as a templete to make sure they are the right size! (these are last years cards! I'm so excited to show  this years card!

they are super fun and cute and when you are getting a pile of bills in the mail they will really stand out!

and i'm sure santa would love to get one too!

so go sit down and make  a few!
