create mama: Little Love Notes Mini Envelopes

Friday, February 8, 2013 7 Comments



Mini Envelopes - Custom Designed Free Printables https://www.mamamiss.com ©2013

 

So, yesterday I gave you the 10 Little Love Notes, and today, here are the mini envelopes to go along with them!

This is what I’ve been working on all week – I am soooo proud of my little envelopes!  I realize looking back, I probably did it the most backwards way possible, but with a background in fashion design I approached it by finding an envelope I liked and then taking it apart, as I would a garment!  (Let’s just say there are many deconstructed & seam removed garments around my house so that I could make a pattern out of them – HA!)  So that’s the approach I took.  I took an envelope apart, scanned it, and used it as a background stencil to draw a new one in Photoshop (see…I told ya I took the most backwards way to get to where I ended up – lack of sleep will do that to a mama brain…hehe :)  Oh well, that’s how you learn, by trying different methods to get to the same conclusion.  And I got the conclusion I wanted – FINALLY!!  Now can you see why I’m so very stoked about these little babies :)  And now that I know how to make them successfully, I think you can expect more little envelope designs in the future from me!!!

So, onward & upward, here’s how it works…





I have options – soooo MANY options for you – you can…

  • {get all creative up in here} – print out the blank template onto cardstock, then use as a stencil to trace the shape onto the paper of your choosing.
  • {make a pretty little envelope} – use the blank template and stick some fancy paper into the printer, hit print, then voilà.
  • or {easy-peasy it} – print out one of the designs I already created for you.

So many ways to make & use these mini envelopes!!!

Some good things to know…

  • these are mini envelopes – they will hold business card size paper (see yesterday’s post for some inspiration).
  • the envelopes will print out one envelope per standard letter sized page.
  • the directions for creating the envelope are on the printable, as well as some helpful tips.
  • some supplies you may need include; a printer, double sided tape, glue stick, scissors, and/or possibly a bone folder for card stock-type thick paper .
  • download as many, or as few as you like :)

And, here are the designs I created for you…eeek!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
