Hello, Betty here today and I'm super excited to share my first GDT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Zibbet.
Loaded envelopes are all the rage right now. So, I decided to create my very first shabby chic loaded envelope!
The base of my loaded envelope came from a 9 3/4 by 12 1/4 photo document mailer. It is perfect because it is very sturdy and you can really stuff it with goodies. This is an awesome alternative for creating the LE.
My creative process was simple. I just cut off the flap of the mailer and started the magic.
The designer paper I used is called Bella Rose.
Next, I used the beautiful embroidered sequined trim for the front fold down design.
I used the mini foam rose that I painted with a light pink acrylic paint followed by Martha Stewart glitter. The foam rose is accented with pieces from the embroidered mesh with hearts.
I also used the pink tulle trim and the heart trim from Shabby is Chic Boutique, for the back pocket of the LE.
I also used the folded tulle pink trim layered with the heart trim for the two front pockets.
Lastly, I used the embroidered sequined trim at the bottom of the LE and on the back.
Thank you
I had so much fun creating my first loaded envelope!
Hello friends, Sue Ann here today with my next Guest Design Team project for Shabby is Chic Boutique.
Let's get started on how to!
First, using the mailing envelope seal the top flat to the inside of the envelope. Cut papers of your choice to cover outside of the envelope and glue on. Cut a piece to fit inside the back of the envelope and glue in place as well.
Cut a V shape opening on the front of the envelope.
Cut a piece of paper for the back pocket the size you need. Fold the paper doily in half and glue to the pocket front.
Now, glue the pocket to the lower back side of your envelope. Be sure not to glue the top edge or else you won't have a pocket.
Glue flat ink lace to both sides of the envelope. Glue the embroidered white rose Lace around the top edge starting at the point of the V shape and ending there as well. Glue a doily flower in the center but be sure to glue it to the front of the envelope and not the inside too. Glue a white leaf to each side of the flower.
Glue the folded tulle trim all around the bottom edge of the envelope.
Glue the daisy section of the embroidered rose Lace on the top edge of the folded tulle trim.
Now decorate the front of your envelope using various pieces from your stash that you like. I used a combination of small pieces like the frame and etc.
Accessories: TAGS- cut 3 tags 7" X 3" in size from papers or cardstock. Using the white acrylic paint, dab paint around the edges of the vintage images and set aside to dry. Make 3 pink seam binding bows and glue one to the top center of each tag. Using the 16 mm flat back Pearl buttons glue one to the center of each bow. Glue a vintage image to the center of each tag. Using a die cut word glue to the bottom area of each tag. Or you may stamp this area with a sentiment if you prefer.
Business envelope: cut a triangle shape from a scrap of paper and glue to the top edge of the envelope. Using the daisy section of the heart daisy Dangle Lace glue it around the V cutout to decorate. Glue a mini doily at the center point of the V. Glue a small flower to the center of the doily.
Rosette Staff: make a small Rosette from matching papers. Glue a small Die cut to the front center. Paint the skewer stick with one coat of white acrylic paint. Glue rosette to the skewer stick. Glue a mini paper doily to the back of the rosette. Make another pink seam binding bow and glue to the stick and glue a Pearl button on the bow.
Gift Cards: make 3 gift cards 3" X 4" in size using white cardstock and printed papers. Decorate the cards in any way you choose to. Make 3 white envelopes to match and you may stamp an image on the front of each envelope for decoration.
Back Pocket: make a bow using white sheer ribbon and glue onto the bottom of the paper doily. Make a tiny rosette and glue to the center of the bow. Glue a tiny Die cut to the center of the rosette.
