I'm playing along with the
Tenth Annual
Month of Holiday Cards Challenge

(Beccy's post with "H" inspiration words and delightful
card with a heavenly sentiment to inspire are HERE)
My "H" project is a set of Holly trimmed envelopes.
I've been making lots of cards and decided to make some special envelopes to put them in. I used the Holly Trimmed Envelopes cut file set to make them. I
enlarged the A6 envelope (the file comes with A2 and A6 sizes) to be 10 ½” wide on the cutting mat so
that the finished envelopes would fit 5” x 7” cards. Before cutting, I removed the score lines from the envelope so that I could manually score for a smoother finish. The envelope bases and holly layers were cut from textured cardstock and adhered together with liquid adhesive. I added two layers of Barn Door Distress Ink to the edges of the berries to give more contrast and dimension when they get layered together.

Wow, these are gorgeous Tracy! I would be thrilled to receive such a pretty envelope and would hang it up alongside the card so everyone could see. I have to confess that making envelopes is one of my least favourite activities so I generally try to make standard sized cards, but after seeing these I think I might whip up just a few extra pretty ones. Thanks for the inspiration!
