Howdy! I'm popping in here today to share a super fun challenge project - Envelope Wraps! Awesome! I made these for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge for this week. What a great idea - make our own envelope wraps. I have some store-bought ones that I like, but this is just too much fun. And, you know how much I love my envelope maker, so I made those too! Have a look!
I made two fun 'country' style wraps and then made my matching gingham envelopes! Howdy!
These came out so happy and cheery! It was weird to make a project without any layers or any die cuts. I hardly ever do 'one layer' stamping. Back to my roots! LOL.
Here are my strips of paper when I started. I made them 8 x 2.25 inches. I cut the banner edge by hand out of some nice thick white paper. I scored them at three inches.
The three PTI stamp sets that I used are: Simple Sunflower, On The Farm and Scent-imentals. I think these three sets work really nicely together.
Getting ready to make my envelopes....
And here is what they look like when they are wrapped around the envelope!
I hope you will try this yourself! Such a fun and interesting project. Another way to super personalize your cards to send out! XOXO Have a blessed day! CLICK HERE to go to the PTI Make it Monday Challenge page to see what everyone else made!
Congrats on your PTI MIM win!

love these Wanda - they make me think that summer might just make an appearance soon (although it still appears to be winter here on the east coast!)
