Hello Crafty Friends!
It's been a while since I've joined in on the TGIF Challenges and am excited to share my creation with you for their color challenge.
I took advantage of the color challenge to create a few money/check envelopes for Christmas using the Beary Cute Bundle from the 2023 Sept.-Dec. catalog by Stampin' UP!.
I'm sad you can't feel my polar bear though... he feels velvety soft since I chose to you use the white velvet paper (retired) for him.
Envelope Making Tips:
- Finished size: 6-3/4" x 3"
- Cardstock/Paper Dimensions:
- Real Red Cardstock base: 6-3/4" x 7"; scored at the long side at 2" & 5".
- 2 pieces of Joy of Christmas DSP (sold out): 1-3/4" x 6-1/2"
- Belly Band: (1) 1" x 7-1/2" strip of white Textured Shimmer paper
- Be sure to use StazOn ink to stamp on the white velvet paper (retired) in order to avoid smearing the image.
If you didn't know already, which I hadn't paid attention until recently, lots of items I used here are not orderable or sold out. The Joy of Christmas DSP has sold out and is no longer available for purchase. Thankfully, you can easily swap out a different DSP to show off the Real Red color in the paper. I would recommend the Traditions of St. Nick DSP or the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP as some alternatives.
