Creating a Mini Envelope Background

Happy Wednesday, Friends! Today I am up on the BasicGrey blog with a fun technique using the amazing new Mon Ami collection. While helping my girls to stuff envelopes for their schoolmates for Valentine’s Day I started thinking it would be fun to create a page background full of lots of colorful mini envelopes. I pulled out the 6×6 paper pad and created my own envelopes. Stop by the BasicGrey blog today for full instructions and a diagram to help you with the scoring/folding measurements.

Filling the envelopes was so much fun! I used cornstarch on the back of the stickers to take away the stick so that I could arrange and play with them before tacking them into their final spots.
