Vintage Envelope Project with Rebekah Faries

Check out today's gorgeous project from DT Member Rebekah Faries!  Rebekah created these envelopes as a multi-function greeting card or gift card wrapper to keep on hand for a variety of last-minute needs.  The envelopes contain a simple die-cut sentiment that is appropriate for a variety of occasions, making this project perfect for weddings, baby showers, love notes, and more.

Rebekah wrapped some of our Glassine Envelopes with 5-Inch Doilies, then embellished them using Baker's Twine and buttons.  The result is completely charming, don't you think?

You can purchase all the items needed to make this versatile envelopes in our shop.

Kim made a little card using the library cards and pockets.  She  made a collage butterfly to staple onto the manila pocket.  It's such an easy project that you can make using found office supplies and tags you have just laying around.  Then add a sentiment of stickers or hand written journaling.
