Greetings!
A few days ago I was talking with my friend Diane and telling her how I like to line my envelopes with Designer Series Paper prints. I explained that it's a great way to use up the papers and also helps to protect the card inside, especially when it's embellished.
She suggested that I blog about it and show the dimensions, etc., so here it is!
If you are a paper crafter and lover of printed papers as many I know are, then it is really tough to throw any of those papers out. It can also become challenging trying to figure out ways to use them up so you can justify ordering new ones. I think we can all agree that Stampin' Up! provides us with beautiful printed papers, and the assortments have a great variety within each pack. Unless you are making boatloads of cards, there is usually leftover sheets and we want to use them up. This is where lining the envelopes is a very helpful and useful way to use them.
For me it began a few years ago with my Christmas cards. I always purchase multiple Designer Series Papers for my cards. They're beautiful, I love variety, and typically they are included in the suites so if I buy the suite or the bundle, I want to have the coordinating prints. I would finish my cards and still have leftover papers, so I started lining the envelopes with the leftover papers. I discovered it leveled up my Christmas cards as well as giving them extra protection when mailing them. We all know the machines the cards get run through can do damage to the envelopes if our cards have rhinestones or raised embellishments. Instead of simply adding a sheet of paper over the front of the card this lining does the same thing, but stays secure in the envelope.
I cut the papers to easily slip inside the envelope on the back side and also under the glue line of the flap.
The paper used for this lining are a print from the Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers. This lined envelope is for the card I made for the November 30, 2023 blog post.
