I went paper shopping last year in Sydney. I brought home lots of goodies. I’ve used some of them but haven’t touched these cute envelopes.
I picked them up at Kikki.K, a rad stationary store chain.
The thing is, since the envelopes are by themselves, I’ve never used them. It’s been over a year. I’ve been waiting for an excuse to use them but never think anything is cool enough or matches well enough to go with them.
My stationary box is busting at the seams, so these have to get used. I decided to make some matchy notecards so they’re ready next time I have to send a note.
I had this shimmery stock laying around. It isn’t acid free so I can’t use it in my scrapbooks. I’m psyched I found a use for it. I glued some white stock to the other side to make the cards nice and hefty.
I love how they turned out! Hopefully I’ll actually use these very soon!
Almost Never Clever 
In this digital age, I think the handwritten note has gotten left behind. The thought seems to be, just send a text or an email. Why not take the time to actually write a note?!?!? These are so simple!!
I make cards with stamped images, sentiments, ribbon and other embellishments. But some are very, very simple. Especially nice for sympathy cards or something for a man.
Anyone will appreciate what you send 🙂
