Today I will show you something different, we have been featuring
Priscillastyles thick style envelopes this month at Midnight Madness, our monthly sponsor, but you can use these envelopes for something other than a card. I used a Sachet of Vanilla and Lavender but anything that is around that size would work also. Boy, my craft room has been smelling heavenly this week!! Priscilla is also our weekly sponsor as well, for that gift she will be giving away a 6 x 6 envelope kit so you will have an envelope template for your thicker cards.
I did some lacing around the envelope, weaving it in and out to give it a very feminine feel to the gift, after all it is a Sachet, you can give it a go with whatever fits your project or theme.
It is best to do all your work on your envelope before you adhere the flaps to one another. I happen to be lacing this envelope as I was watching HGTV and I have got to say I had my Kitties very interested in it!!
I want to share this with you all today ,this is my last Midnight Madness Sketch card as a Design Team member. Due to personal reasons I decided to step down. I will miss my Design team sisters beyond measure but I hope to continue to see them in blogland. I want to assure you I will be keep making cards and will be blogging them and other topics as I can. Thank you all so much, Blessings to you and yours, Jane

Darn it! I forgot to mention how AWESOME your card and envelope are this week! I love the lacing you did and you are right, Priscilla's thick style envelopes are perfect for gifts as well. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jane...Ok..I made it over here :( I was procrastinating....I can't believe this is your last MMSC post as a MMDT. First, your project today is so beautiful. I loved how you always added your special touch to the sketches and I always found myself wondering what you will create next. Your are a rare and true talent my friend. You know we go way back and have been through a lot in this funny computer world. You have always been a true friend and have never been anything but yourself with me. Thank you thank you thank you for your honesty, integrity and friendship. Ok..I should end before I start tearing up.

This really is a creative project. Just lovely. I am trying to sniff to smell that wonderful sachet. Sounds heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that this is your last MM card!! I want to say that I am going to miss you, but naaa, you won't get far from me. We will be in touch, and I will be visiting your blog often to see what you are up to. I hope you enjoy your time with your family and the summer weather outside...in your REAL garden and taking in all that life has to offer. Thanks for bringing so many smiles to the MM team. That will certainly be missed!
