Default WT195 - Envelope It

Good morning, everyone! I'm filling in for Julia today. Everything is fine, she's just swamped.

Julia's challenge this week is to use envelopes. You can incorporate one into your design, create an envelope to compliment a card or your maybe your envelope unfolds to reveal a card...anything you'd like as long as there is an envelope involved in some way. You decide! I can't wait to see your ideas!

Please remember to put WT195 in your keywords and post a link back here. Please upload new creations as this challenge is designed to get you stamping! Have fun with it!

My Design - Hello Chick!

WT195 Gallery Submissions

Have a great day!

I haven't made one of these envelope gift card holders in years, so thanks for this challenge so that I could revive this idea:

What a fun challenge and thank you Michele. I had something in mind but then looked at the gallery and will definitely switch some gears up because it definitely failed miserably in comparison. Have a great day everybody.

Wow! great challenge!

I often decorate the envelopes for "teachers'" cards, so this was a GREAT challenge for me! (Since Markie has 8 teachers this year!!! YIKES!) And, I had to CHASE Speedy the Cat, because, for some reason, he does NOT like envelopes, and he kept "fanging" them!!!(You know, biting them and leaving fang marks!)

Here's today's submission

I've been waiting for a challenge like this! I save all the pretty envelopes I receive in the mail and re-use parts of them. This image was on an envelope I received yesterday from the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation requesting a donation, but also enclosing a pretty 2009 personal calendar. Here's what I did with the image on the envelope!

An Envelope Full of Dreams
Here's mine.
I nearly just made an envelope for a mini-card I need to send, but this was much more fun.
