Mailable Handmade Cards

Have you ever made a beautiful homemade card for a friend living states away only to discover that when you went to mail it, it was a little too bulky for the envelope and the postage would cost an arm and a leg? Well, Laurel Seabrook understands that all too well and has found the perfect solution.

Hi everyone, Laurel here with you today. I don’t know about you but the cost of mailing a handmade card almost (well not really, hehehe) has me not wanting to send any. So today I decided to create a simple, less bulky ‘mailable’ card. I send out a lot of thank you cards so I need to build up my stash of simple ones.

Super simple paper layering and adding one of the library cards made this a very quick and easy card that is still quite pretty.

Baby Shower Gift

We’re closing out our week featuring mini envelope projects. We’ve had lots of fun sharing them with you and hope you’ve found some inspiration. For our final feature, Designer Laurel Seabrook is showcasing a fun baby shower gift that she created using mini envelopes.

Mini Envelopes

Hi everyone, Laurel here.  I have a fun baby shower gift that I created for my daughter who is expecting a baby girl in September.  A few years ago I created a similar project for husband for our anniversary (a prepaid date per month) and my daughter really loved it.  She is not going to have a lot of extra cash so I thought she would be able to use anything to help her out.

I had this wooden box in my stash, picked it up at a garage sale.

I used some pattern paper from Garden Party to cover the box, then finished off the seams with some Washi Tape.  As a final touch I added a journal card and sticker to the front.

Inside are 12 mini envelopes.  One for each month, starting with September.  I will insert some gift cards (Wal-Mart, Drug Store, Grocery Store, Tim Horton’s etc.) inside each little envelope so that she will be able to either treat herself now and then, or purchase some much needed supplies.
I used some pattern paper from Garden Party to cover the box, then finished off the seams with some Washi Tape.  As a final touch I added a journal card and sticker to the front.
I just added bits and pieces from Garden Party and Special Delivery Girl to embellish the envelopes and then adhered a month sticker.

I hope she likes it and I also hope that this gives you some inspiration on how to use our mini envelopes!

While all of our American friends are out celebrating Memorial Day, we thought it would be fun to have one of our international designers, Laurel Seabrook, step in with a fun project showing how easy it is to take a patriotic line like Americana and change it up!

Since I am a Canadian, I thought I would repurpose the Americana collection. I created three different cards with three different looks and occasions.

The colors and prints make me think of a farm and so I came up with this western themed encouragement card.

Along the same lines, the red gingham makes me think of Barbeques so I decided to create a barbeque themed card that can be used as an invite.

Finally, I love the blue gingham. It’s softness reminded me of baby prints so I created this clean and simple baby boy themed card.

I love being able to stretch my themed collections into other projects and I think the Americana worked well for this!

We’ve been experiencing the off and on weather of spring in Utah and our regularly sunny skies have been a bit gray. Fortunately, we’ve been working on loads of fun spring projects and all the flowers have more than certainly brightened our day!

Today Laurel Seabrook is sharing a few of her favorite floral card designs with us.

Don’t you just love spring flowers? Check out the sweet pick-me-up gift Designer Laurel Seabrook created for a friend using the Garden Party collection.

I love the pretty patterns and colors in the Garden Party collection.  The ‘seed packet’ panels of the Peony paper are so fun, I knew I wanted to use one on an altered project.

Handmade Spring Gift
I picked up this old tin bag at a thrift shop and it was the perfect size.  This went together so quickly and easily and will be a perfect Thinking of You gift.
