Prettifying Your Paper Stationery

Thank you for visiting. I now have a new home at www.countrypeony.com. I hope you will find me there.

I am sucker for pretty stationery, and I couldn't resist this pattern when I saw it in Paper Source. So I decided to incorporate more heat embossing, while adding another prettifying technique.

For a full lesson on heat embossing, you can visit my last post that highlights the ingredients.

For the first step of this prettifying project, I used the following:

• Thank You Stamp
• Love Stamp
• Watermark Stamp Pad
• Heat Tool
• Princess Gold Embossing Powder
• White Embossing Powder

As you can see from the links above, and the pictures below I used Paper Source products. However, your local craft store should have heat embossing products. For example, Hobby Lobby, JO-ANN, and Michaels carry their own lines of heat embossing products. 

Before I sealed and delivered these thank you cards to the recipients, I was inspired by the pretty papers in Paper Source and decided to add an envelope liner.

For this second prettifying project, you will need: 

• Pretty Paper
• Double-Sided Tape
• Envelope Liner Template Kit. I purchased a template kit, but you can wing it and try to make your own envelope liner templates.  

Follow these very simple steps to create a dramatic look. I measured my envelope liner template on the paper, and then cut accordingly. Then I used the double-sided tape to adhere the paper to the inside of the envelope liner. It is important to use tape and not glue, because glue will ruin the paper. And voila! As simple as that!
