Krafty Handmade Envelopes

I’m head over heels for Paper Source’s envelope templates! I’ve been coveting these babies for a while now and finally have a set to call my very own (thanks, Mom!). It’s the little things in life that make me happy.

I chose the 4-bar size and simply traced the template onto a paper grocery bag, cut out the shape and scored the folds. Old holiday cards proved to be the perfect size for lining the envelopes. Assembly was made easy with double-sided tape and the flap was secured with a sticker for mailing.
