Hello everyone, Linda Israel here today. I would like to share with you a little project a did a few years ago. I was seeing lots of loaded envelopes on the web and wanted to give it a try. So here is my St. Patricks's Day Loaded Envelope that I created using Calico Collage's unique "Green Ladies" digital collage sheet.
Here are some of the supplies used in the St Patrick’s Loaded Envelope
ATC Size "Green Ladies" from Calico Collage
Rinea Foil – Gold
Brutus Monroe Jurassic Ink
Large Shamrock Cut on Silhouette Cameo 3
Cricut Explore Air – on Amazon
Cricut Cuts: Circle – Basic Shapes, Flower – Home Decor, Bottom of ribbon from 1st Place Ribbon – Locker Talk. Shamrock was an image I drew the Shamrock and used the Cricut software to convert it to a cut file.
Green card stock – On Amazon
Dymo Label maker with Black Label
Xyron – on Amazon
Ranger Blending Tool – on Amazon
Punch Bunch Flower Punch
McGill Stylus – on Amazon
Fun Foam – on Amazon
Aleene’s Tacky White Glue
Mini Clothes Pins: 7gypsies
Green Seam Binding – on Amazon
Cut the Shamrock Envelope with the Silhouette. For this project, I cut one with the hearts cut out in the front and cut a second Shamrock for the back. Use the Brutus Monroe Jurassic Ink and a Tim Holtz Blending tool to add color around the edges.
Glue the bottom half of the Shamrock but not up into the center just around the lower half with white glue. Don’t use tape, if you do your items will stick to the tape.
Tie a bow with green seam binding. Glue in the center of the shamrock to represent a stem.
Add St Patrick’s Day Altered Paperclips to either side of the St Patrick’s Loaded Envelope.
Pin St Patrick’s Day Lady ATC to the front of the St Patrick’s Loaded Envelope.
Fill the inside of the Shamrock Envelope with Calico Collage St Patrick’s images. Some of the images were mounted on Silhouette Lace Tags and scraps of paper.
Extra Shamrocks were placed inside a green envelope.
Have fun adding other items to fill the St Patricks Loaded Envelope. I even added stickers, some seam binding and extra pieces of paper.
I hope you enjoyed this post on the St Patricks Loaded Envelope!
