Birthday Stationery

Both my sister and a friend had birthdays this month, so I headed over to Paper Source and bought some fancy paper to make stationery for the gifts.


I also bought the bottom 2 stamps-on sale! The best ink to use with rubber stamps is an all-in-one set like this one so you can switch to different colors without purchasing a new pad.


It's helpful to make a stencil for the envelope liners. Trim .5 inches all the way around the edge of a disassembled envelope using cardstock. I made one pattern for each size of envelope I own, and you can re-suse the patterns until your envelopes are gone.


The final results were flawed, but still fun and usable!
