You may remember my daughter's exhortation to me to make envelopes instead of using only "boring, blue envelopes." Well, I did make envelopes and afterward realized I had made them all in blue...plain, boring blue. I felt this was a bit self-defeating but I thought of a remedy. Out came the craft scissors and more colored paper. Using the envelope template as a guide I made envelope liners of differing colors. I thought the craft scissors provided more visual interest than a straight edge. The result is below. Unfortunately, trusty Elmer's tends to be too wet for this project and crinkles the paper somewhat. I do hope envelope recipients will forgive crinkling. As a final touch, I used the same craft scissors to make a pattern on the top of the letter sheet. I used Clairfontaine Triomphe paper for this. It is oh so smooth and loves fountain pens. I hope recipients will find this stationery as enjoyable to receive as it has been to make.
