inside out your old used envelopes
Some times I have’nt the the right measure of envelope for my letters or cards. I want to enjoy others with collorfull post.
It makes life so much prettyer. And I love to recycle. when you become official letters the inside of the envelope is for the privacy very funny printed.
So I make from the inside of these envelopes the outside. And often they have a window that you can use for the adressing. I make from the otherside of my letter , with is blanc the measure of the window and write the adres of the backside from my letter. Mayby you have an other solution, but I love this one.
succes and send your friends lots of them:-))

Before i usually resize, reshape, cut by craft scissors or weave before glue it again , sometime cut colour or design from others or card to decorate.
But my friends prefer e-mail now, so i just cut them for note or doodle. (T-T)
