Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Loaded Envelope

 

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Our theme this month is Loaded Envelopes. I hope you enjoy the variety of projects we have to inspire you. You may have hopped here from  Helen Jennings blog, wasn't her project lovely! Where ever you began, the list of links for blogs on this Stamping With Friends Blog Hop is at the end of my post.

I have a special thank you to my friend and fellow demonstrator, Laurie Bradshaw, who kindly shared her tutorial for the loaded envelope with me. This was super fun and easy to create. I took lots of pictures as I was creating!

First, I chose my favorite Specialty Designer Series Paper, Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper (and my favorite pattern in this package!) You will need a 12 x 12 in sheet of designer series paper in your choice of pattern and color. The top is not scored, you will score the left and right at 3 1/4 inches and the bottom at 3 3/4 inches.

This is the inside of the envelope. All the scoring is completed.

The left and right sides fold over and the tops are folded into a “collar”.

I am folding the right over the left, so you can see my tear and tape is placed on the front side of the DSP on that side and the inside on the right side. Remove covering and fold flat - be sure to burnish for a good fold and to make sure the adhesive is well adhered.

Here you can see that I’ve folded my “collar” down and the bottom up.

Tear and Tape is on the top and bottom of the flap that is folding up (this will create your second pocket.)

I tucked a little glue dot under the collar corner. 

I made sure my goodies fit inside - I have DSP in one of the plastic envelopes that our dies come in the main envelope pocket and embellishments in the front pocket. Everything fits, now it needs just a little added to make it even prettier.

Here is my finished Loaded Envelope, I tied the gold shimmer ribbon around the bottom, cut the leaf (Forever Flourishing Dies) out of our Gold Sheet, added an Evening Evergreen Circle and sentiment using the Layering Circle Dies. The sentiment is from Forever Fern Stamp Set and is stamped in Just Jade.
