Holiday Treasures cards

{{Wow.. 500 blog posts... where has the time gone?}}

I am having SO much fun with this idea... I am using the Small Open End Envelopes (pg 167 in the Stampin' Up! catalog), tucking in the envelope flap, folding them in 1/2 and then decorating the front and inside to make a cute little 3x3 folded card!

SUPPLIES: I made these samples with the fabulous new Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper!  I've included my favorite new accessory on some of them - the Filigree Brads (pg 184).. LOVE them! I've also used the Flower brads, die cuts from the Big Shot, the fabulous new Button Bouquet buttons, and wonderful new ribbon!

There is a 3x3 pull out note inside the open end of the envelope (see tab sticking out on the right side)

You can click on any image to see it larger.

 

There is another sample using this folded envelope idea HERE.  I'll be posting another one using Urban Garden DSP later this week.

This is one of my favorite new DSP's! Love the cards. I've had some Open ended envelopes for at least a year. Now I know a cute project to do with them. Thanks so much! Kristi Kelly

Absolutely brilliant! I would have never thought to use the small open end envelopes to make 3x3 cards. I enjoyed chatting with you yesterday as well. I could have talked to you about your classes for hourse :)
