Mini Envelopes for Summer!

Today Ellen is sharing how she decorated some mini envelopes with a summer theme! Perfect for tucking a little note into a loved one's lunch box or bag! 

Here's a look at the first envelope:

For this one she used the kitty from our Kitten Beach Stamp Set. Isn't the kitty so cute lounging in the beach chair? She colored the image with copic markers, adding speckles to the fur for texture and cut it out using the coordinating Kitten Beach Die Set. For the background she cut a piece of patterned paper using our Summertime Paper Pad and layered the "hello summer" sentiment from our Flamingo Oval Stamp Set on top, embossing it onto a ticket shape that was cut out using our Framework Die Set

She also added little die cut heart on the envelope flap using a heart from our Heart Frames Die Set

Here is a the second envelope:

For this adorable beach design she used our beach design she features the car carrying a surfboard from our Beach Bound Stamp Set. She colored the image and cut it out using the coordinating Beach Bound Die Set. For the green striped background she again used a piece of paper from our Summertime Paper Pad, cut to fit on the envelope. Then she added a yellow banner (cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set) and a scalloped square (cut out using our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set). The surf's up" sentiment is from the Beach Bound Stamp Set

She also added little die cut detail on the envelope flap using a bow from our Pines & Holly Die Set

What a cute way to dress up a little note! Have you ever thought of decorating your envelopes? We hope this has inspired you to try!
