Card Compendium using Envelopes!

 

Here is a card compendium that I created using 2 envelopes!  It is a nifty idea that Jayne Mercer showed us all at Stampin' Up! Regional training recently.  Here is a veiw of the inside:

 

You can see from this photo how the two envelopes are joined together.  You just cut off the flap of one envelope then use the remaining flap to join the two.  One side is used to house the cards, the other, the envelopes for the cards - obviously the cards and envelopes you use in the compendium need to be smaller than the envelopes you use to make it! 

Here are a couple of the cards that I have put in my compendium.  They were inspired by some cards I saw on Sarah Klasses blog (Thanks Sarah!)

 

And here are all the cards and the compendium together:

 

I used the 'Garden Whimsy' stamp set, 'polka dot background' and 'basic phrases' for the greetings.  The two toned effect on the images is created using the 'Rock 'n Roll' technique.

A quick and easy gift - perfect for a teacher at the end of the year!  I hope you enjoy creating your own.
