Fresh Cuts Envelopes

Are ya wondering what I did with the envelopes that I used for my Fresh Cuts Notes?

Well, I am sure that if you are going to do what I did with the note cards, then you'll wonder what to do with the envelopes!

This book is all from the envelopes. Each page (4) is an individual envelope, which I covered, and bound with my Bind-It-All, and then decorated the cover, with...

....the PUNCHED out die cut petals from the note card! They are stamped with the SKY BLUE ink using the large stamp from the FRESH CUTS stamp set, sponging the edges. I punched out a 5 petal flower in Wild Wasabi, and layed it on the cover, and then placed the petals on top. I then punched a hole and added the Rhinestone brad - *Bashful Blue* in the center.

The DSP Papers are the 110771 Spring Silhouettes. I had a package that I had opened and used a small piece, but really never dived in to "USE" it..!!!

Well, I love it now....!!!

To make the pockets, I tucked in the flap, and adhered it (licked the sealing part of the flap, and sealed it inside.) To make the cover of the envelope, I cut a small piece of cardstock and fit it inside the envelope.

I then traced the envelope opening with a pencil and cut it out. This became my template. I then traced it on the DSP and cut it out.

Now, it will be adhered to the envelope.
(are these photos too light?)

I also added a small strip to the inside of the envelope so that it peeks out.

Each page was covered with the decorative papers and sky blue cardstock.

I then also made inserts for each pocket. They are cut 4"x4". A Tab was added to each page, staggering them down, so that they looked like true dividers. I added DSP to both sides of the cards....

The cover was tied with a Wild Wasabi stitched ribbon, and finished off with the Bind it all...

I will give you a tip in my next note, as to how to bind it in the same place for each "page".

They don't look like envelopes any more do they??!!!
