November Sneak Peeks Day 3: Make an Amazing First Impression!
Hey there, crafty friends! We’ve officially entered November and it’s the last day of sneak peeks for our November Release! Today is all about making a great first impression with our handmade cards and what better way to do that than to decorate your envelopes? Your friends and family will think “Wow… she’s really got it together!” *wink* Just kidding, they might think you’re crazy for spending time decorating the envelope, but you know it’ll definitely make them smile!
In addition to decorating the outside of the envelope, we have a new die scalloped envelope lines die for coordinating the inside of your envelope with your card. Plus, we’ve got some great matching envelope and paper collections to make the process super slick!
Before I get to today’s inspiration, I have one last announcement about this month’s special offer! For a limited time, you will earn DOUBLE CRAFTY POINTS when you purchase the Display Easel die!
This easel die was designed specifically to display works of art along with our mini tear-off calendar, 3×4 calendar, 5×7 calendar. Check out this post for lots of inspiration using this die and a chance to win it before you can buy it! If you’re not a Crafty Points member yet, it’s free and easy to join. Just create an account at the TE webstore and you’re automatically enrolled to begin earning crafty points with every purchase. What are crafty points? Essentially you get a point for every dollar you spend and you can apply those points as a discount off future orders!
So let’s get started with some envelope goodies! Below is a set of envelopes I made with the Snail Mail stamp set, Envelope Liner die, and the Playful Patterns – Bold 6×6 patterned paper pack (for the liner piece):
I created a quick video to show just how easy it is to mass produce super cute envelopes with the help of the MISTI. I also grabbed my Prismacolor pencils and a little gamsol for a beautifully shaded image where the color won’t bleed through the envelope.
Gayatri showed off the Snail Mail stamp set with our Toffee envelopes on these cuties:
And Melody has a set of Christmas envelopes featuring the Merry Mail 2 set released last month:
The scalloped envelope liner die was designed to work with our square flap envelopes which come in three different sets; Sugar Cube (20), Toffee (20), and Bold (16 – 2 each of 8 colors). The Bold envelopes match the cardstock colors included in our Bold Cardstock pack.
In addition to envelopes, I also want to show off two of the latest additions to our “Basics” collection of dies along with several projects the creative team has designed. They are absolutely amazing and for anyone who already has our Stitched Rectangle and/or Stitched Circle Stacklets, these are a must-have companion!
The inside scallop stacklets coordinate with their previously released stitched counterparts in order to create frames with an inner scallop. Or use the dies without the stitched coordinates to create a fun shaker element or cut directly into the card base. There are so many possibilities! Here’s a look at a few projects from the creative team:
Thanks so much for tuning in for our final day of sneak peeks! All of the new products will be available for purchase at the TE webstore tomorrow at 7am PST! In the meantime, I have one more chance to win one of our new products before you can buy it with the Question of the Day!
Today I’m giving away the Snail Mail stamp set!
