All Eyes On... ENVELOPES!

The lovely and talented folks from Wplus9 have, yet, another technique-rich endeavor to share with you.....





Yes, friends - it's the unofficial GREETING of the greeting card -
we're talking about ENVELOPES!


The outside...






This inside....




The other outside...





And the inside of the INSIDE - the card, itself...!








Oooow, friends - I couldn't help myself! Even though the air was still full of icicles...
It was a downright spring-like day, here at Rancho Durenberger!
My use of this FANTASTIC Wplus9 stamp, needs no further explanation...

{The BIRDS & The BEES - one of my all-time W9 FAVES!}








Look! Cow and HORSES - fraternizing! {Scandalous!}


I hope you'll take the time to go and see what some of the other
stampy gals of Wplus9 did with their use of envelope...

Oh Elise, this is just too adorable! I love the card and envelope equally! If I received an envie this pretty, I don't know if I could toss it! :) You did such a fabulous job decorating, and I love that liner!

OH, I just LOVE this envie you've created! It's so cheerful, so spring-like and would be such a welcomed piece of mail to receive! I love the inside as much as the outside and I need to decorate the envies as much as the cards!
I love the serene picture you posted and it reminded me instantly of something I saw a few weeks ago while we were on a long drive. We passed a huge farm where the horses were just let into the cow's pasture, and they chased those poor cows to a corner of the field with such a vengeance, then ran back to the entrance as if their day's fun was all done and they wanted to go back into the barn! LOL I chuckled at the sight, so seeing this photo was really amusing to me :) Doncha just love animal nature? :D

Absolute darling card and envelope! Love the stamps, your coloring, the stitching, the "popped" die cuts ... so neat! I tend to go all out to decorate my envelopes. It gives the receiver a preview and brings a smile to those who "handle" the envelope! :)

Rose said...

this is so adorable!!! LOVE it :)

Ann said...

There's a whole lotta cuteness goin' on here! Wowza! Your envie is amazing, & I adore the sun & clouds on your card!

I just found WPlus9 stamps today by seeing a card in the Feb issue of Cards Mag by Heather Pulvirenti...from there I found you - love your card above!!! So adorable and the enevelope is gorgeous front and back! I think I might have to get that stamp set as I adore the clouds and the birds and the whole "spring" feeling! Thanks for your awesome blog! :) Jill - Seattle, WA.
