Lesson 3: Designing Envelopes

Gather these supplies:

2" circle punch: I used a solid circle & scalloped edge.

2 metal rim tags (2 1/4" diameter)

1 paper tag (2"x 1 1/4")

2.5" Punched flower (included in kit)

A couple buttons and bling

Patterned Papers

Ribbons

2 envelopes (A2 size)

Hole punch

(PS I added some light teal and light pink tulle that wasn't included in kit)

ENVELOPE #1

1. Punch two 2" circles from the turquoise patterned paper (Sparkling Season)

2. Attach inside metal rim tag

3. Then layer ribbons, small paper tag, paper flower, tulle (I added in blue or pink), button.

4 Attach to envelope. KEEP IN MIND: Where you will punch the holes to the envelope so you can open it when it's in the album.

OTHER SIDE of envelope #1:

1. Punch a circle from paper. Fold and adhere to flap of envelope.

2. Attach button.

ENVELOPE #2 are the same steps as the first envelope with tag but we will be making the rolled flower in a later lesson.

OTHER SIDE of envelope #2 (Used later in the album but we are designing it now.)

1. Punched circle

2. Add ribbon with staple, button & bling.

INSIDE OF ENVELOPES:

Now we just need to cut the paper for the inside of the envelopes.

1. Cut 6 pieces of the music note paper at 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"

2. Include 3 pieces in each envelope.

3. Optional: Use a ruler and pen to write lines on your paper or just go ahead and write on the papers.

4. Slip into envelope with the music note side seen through the front under tags.
5. Read over what you wrote yesterday.

Edit it by adding to what you wrote if you now remember more details or take away anything that isn't needed.

Collect those thoughts and include what you want on the back of the music note papers.

Remember, we will make this rolled flower in a later lesson.

This one below is using different ribbons but the same idea.
