My stepson is getting married in July. He and his bride decided to put together packets filled with wildflower seeds to give to their guests. They bought little coin envelopes and asked me to pretty them up. They decided on three different designs, 100 of each of design. (The third design is still under construction.) Here's the second.
All stamp sets are by PaperTrey Ink. I stamped TRUE LOVE FOREVER (to look like a flower's stem) in Chocolate Chip and stamped the swirls (to look like leaves on the stem) in Certainly Celery from the Sweet Love set onto the envelope. I stamped the dotted circle from the Borders & Corners Monogram Edition set in Chocolate Chip and the D from the Trajan Monogram Edition set in Certainly Celery onto Whisper White cs. I punched these out with my 1 3/8" SU circle punch. I used SU's Scallop Circle punch to punch out all those Chocolate Chip layers. I adhered everything together with a glue stick to save money since these are (most likely) just going to get ripped open and tossed.
I hope the bride and groom like these. TFL - Regina

Oh my gosh is there ever a lot of work here! and this is only one set of 3???? Wow, you are one stepmom to do this project. That's a lot of work, girl! I love what you've done to the coin envelope! they look outstanding, and how wonderful they will look when set out on the entrance table. Oh, these are fabulous, but what's more fabulous is your willingness to do this for your stepson! Now that's a perfect stepmom I've ever known. You are to be commended: These are fabulous and what a commitment! My complements
